    Description

    You are viewing a custom-built
    G-scale Rail Broom Kit
    , solid aluminum, now designed  to provide more flexible adjustments plus easier access to belt changes. This kit uses my latest design incorporating metal drive pulleys and ball bearings on broom shaft for long service life and efficient operation.
    Here's the way to make the clearing of your track a bit easier and focus on the pleasure of running your trains, not on the extra chores of cleanups, all at an affordable
    price.
    Great way to extend your train season earlier in the Spring and thru the Fall!
    Designed to attach to standard G-scale flat-cars, drop-center cars, gondolas (with modifications to front panel - instructions are included) or your favorite M-O-W car or small dedicated locomotive, this kit will become one of the most useful additions to your layout. You will see how much easier the nuisance of keeping your rails free of small twigs, pine needles, pine cones and general debris can be....your maintenance crew can sit back and start enjoying what was once a tedious chore.
    The track broom spins at a constant speed; you vary the track speed of your locomotive as needed to provide light or heavy clearing. The
    Rail Broom Kit
    does the rest!! If you are using track power, push your new
    Rail Broom
    ahead of your rail cleaner car for
    single-pass cleanups. THE easy way to clear your track, whether you are using on-board battery power or track power.
    You'll find this especially useful for those hard-to-reach areas beneath/behind shrubs, sized to pass thru bridges and tunnels, etc.
    Use your choice of 7.2 ~ 9.6VDC rechargeable batteries to provide economical operation. I show a lo-cost battery recommendation in the instructions. The motor and pulleys are sized so as to provide the best combination of brush speed and reliability, while keeping the need for battery recharging to a minimum.
    Optimum efficiency is achieved with brush positioned to
    just
    contact rail tops - the air turbulence will aid in moving most of the debris from between the rails. Twigs, pine needles, etc., laying across rails are then whisked out of the way, helping prevent derailments. Properly installed and set-up, there is
    no drag
    placed on the brush or motor ensuring virtually endless brush life.
