What engine is that

[gato311]

LGB 2074D (CC)

Don't know, 70-80 mts I suppose. Count the tracks! ;-)

I need quite a distance to get around the house.

how do you keep your track so clean?

[gato311]

Using the LGB cleaning loco and sometimes manually with a common cleaning rubber (f.e. from Roco or in case of severe oxidation any sand paper which is not that abrasive). Actually the worst thing is grass rolled over by the trains. As my tracks are separated from the lawn, I don't have any trouble of that kind.

In case you mean the lack of wheeds: It's a matter of the plastic foil used underneath the gravel. Look for something that does not permit humidity to pass!

thanks i have been wanting to get a lgb track cleaning loco but didn't know if it was really very effective at cleaning the track. i have been having alot of trouble with keeping my track clean, i seem to have 2 clean it with a sand paper very often,the only problem is that the only place that sells lgb around my area has a waiting list for track cleaninglocos so far there is 12 on it and if i order now i will be at the very bottom.

Use it together with another loco in front (connected electrically). That way it will never stop and you can do several laps to get the tracks clean. If you've got serious trouble (for example with resin from trees), make the cleaning engine run the other way (not against the running direction of the loco). This will save some lifetime of the engine.
