THEMA: N-Scale Lux Swab & Vacuumer modification(avi)

It' a really work  miniature vacuum cleaner and felt grinder.

This is a 2 films  how it works:

1) Collecting and estimating DUST:

Hello Vadim,

kannste as possibly a conversion guide set?

1) Original board has a motion magnet sensor and powerpack. So, cleaning intencity can not be controlled distantly by trottle.

Therefore:

2) I used LocoDecoder(Lenz Gold) and 1000mkf powerpack  instead original board.  
(Vacuumer need rectifyer (ss14 diodes) between  motor and decoder in aim to remain direction of turbin turning for effective vacuuming in both sideds of motor output polarity )

Powerpack installing see instruction for decoder or , for example as in functional decoder: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6437/5475818.f/0_88c8b_aaa3e1b_XXXL.jpg

3) I use usual DIP or SMD LEDs in aim to make buffer lights and cleaning zone lights.

4) Because i have not very strong radiuses of rails at my layout, I removed central truck at original LUX Grinder car and made bugels, which directed it from side turns.

5) I add some additional Pb weight in aim to be stable at finescale C55 track.

6) I use Kato SmoothSide finescale trucks instead original ones in aim to fit Atlas C55 rails.

7) Vacuumer car need  to make more bigger central turbine hole and also need to make bigger turbine output hole. It's easy to drill and re-glue yellow plastic.

More bigger input hole and air defending skirt: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9809/5475818.18/0_9eea1_b35ed419_XXXL.jpg

Ait defending skirt prevent air going between hairs of brush, improoving air flow near sleepers.
