Tony,
I've both pushed and pulled the CMX with F7 and FA diesels. No set pattern yet, though I prefer pulling. I find that using the "A" and "B" units together provides a little more power to get up a very short, gentle incline.
You all talked me into the CMX cleaner. Arrived today and is already running my tracks cleaning away. They weren't kidding about the white glove test....
Congrats, Olie!
A lifetime investment indeed. I ran it thoroughly around the layout six weeks ago and have not needed another cleaning since. That beats any other method I've tried.
At first I was skeptical about the manual saying once the track was clean it would only need to be done once or twice a year. After seeing what it can do, I'm starting to believe. Money well spent!
Olie,
Knew you would like it and it is as good as they claim. They are WELL worth the money in my opinion and something you only need to buy once.
Not a problem mate just glad you liked it and it works as well as mine did ... and might take you up on the Smithwicks at some point as well
Thanks mate, that's a very hard thought to ignore. Failing the "real m'coy" maybe an authentic Irish Pub some where, some time.
