While this Tomix track cleaning car is a good attempt at an all around track cleaning car it falls a bit short. It is GREAT in vacuuming the track. However when the track cleaning disk is installed it takes either one very powerful loco or two average loco's to pull it around the track. So I just use it to vacuum the track. ...Racerbill27

Good quality product, does a great job of cleaning the track. Works out of the box on analog systems (DC) however it needs a decoder installed for operation with DCC. It's easy to install a decoder and there are several available that fit will inside the shell. It is not self powered and requires a locomotive to pull it around the layout. Over all this is a great product and a must have addition to any layout.

I gave this 5 stars because I was having problems with my DCC engines running smoothly. Two trips around my layout with the polishing disk and my DCC engines ran perfectly. The vacuum gathered a lot of loose foam bits and dirt from around the track too..I found that both the polishing and vacuum features work well. It is easy to switch over from polishing to vacuuming. It is easy to empty the vacuum chamber. There are a lot of tunnels and a hidden staging yard on my layout that I cannot get to easily without this cleaning car, and I would recommend it. CAUTION: This product is designed for DC power out of the box. Do not run this with DCC power or you will burn up the motor. If you want to run it with DCC power you have to convert it to DCC.

Does a really nice job cleaning and vacuuming my track. Great for tunnels and hard to reach places. Easy to change between vacuum attachment and the abrasive disk. WARNING: Do not use in DCC mode unless you convert to DCC. You will burn up the motor since DCC will feed it a constant 18-20 volts and it is not designed for more than about 8 volts.

This is an even better product than I expected. The vacuum feature picks up things I did not even know were there. The track cleaning pads are amazing! I thought my track was clean until I looked at the used pad, it was black with the stuff that collects on the surface. My only criticism is that it took almost 5 weeks to get it here from Japan.

I bought it from japan they did not inform me before I purchased the product that the instructions where only in Japanese I can't run or maintain something if I can't read the instructions they should have inform customers of this before they sell it

Didn't work once I received it. Instructions were in Japanese. Didn't have any idea what the different pads and wipers were for, had to figure it out for myself. I would not recommend at any price.
