 That looks great!  It looks like a track cleaning car, not like someting trying to pretend to be someting else. Very nicely done. Add ladder and catwalk and that will be a really greta looking model that actually does work!

I could not have said that any better, GOOD JOB & Thanks for sharing.

My MIG Welded Track Cleaning Cars
Posted by Rob Of The North on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 4:26 PM
I decided to make a couple of heavy duty track cleaning cars using my wifes CNC Plasma cutter and my MIG welder. The frame is mounted on springs with adjustment screws and the cleaning box swings on a pin under the frame. A piece of fine grit drywall sanding screen is slung under the cleaning box. I think the dual model might look better with a three axle truck in the center? www.scrapworksrail.com
