http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wheel-Polis..._RR_Trains&hash=item2eb8952787#ht_1861wt_1185 Looks interesting. Anybody have one? What do you think?
Looks very interesting.....I went throught the feedback on this seller and every one of these he sold in several pages left a good remark. I may get one and start saving my coffee filters! LOL
but jerry....200 filters cost about a buck at Kmart. That thing is almost 30.00 shipped. Thats 6000 filters !!! And 6000 coffee filters will last longer...in the long run...:tb-wink:
One other observation... Last month I went to make a pot of coffee. We have a deccorative little bowl in the cupbaord that a box of filters will fit in nicely. I reached in for a filter...and ^&$%^&%%^$^&*%^& no filter ! Well...I bought a box of the cheaper coffee filters awhile back to use for my train wheel cleaning. I just went into the train cabinet...and...I had a nice hot pot of coffee going in no time. I just dont think a kewl looking wheel cleaner like that one will filter coffee grounds and make a pot of coffee at all :tb-wink: LOL
I got one a while back when I was doing a Japanese order to fill out the package. It works ok, and I don't drink a lot of coffee so it's more useful to me than coffee filters. As mentioned previously Woodland Scenics are bringing out a similar product as part of their new Tidy Track range. http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/category/TTTWMS?rowsPerPage=1900 http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/TT4560/page/1
I have one of those wheel cleaners I purchased when first getting back into this hobby... I had purchased a bunch of old used engines and was having a hell of a time cleaning them. It works great and made light work of it! That seller is also a source for Thomas & Friends n scale sets
I too purchased one of these from P Japan on E*ay, and it works great. Easy to hook-up to track power, and does a great job of cleaning. Stays with my tool kit when I'm out and about with my locos.
How quickly can you clean a large number of locos ? If it's faster than the paper towl, cloth, coffee filter soaked in alcohol and does an equal to or better job, I'd be interested in buying one. Thanks, Keith.
