dr_spock Posted February 27, 2016 I made a MOW rail grinding LEGO CITY styled truck. It has one Power Functions M-motor driving the "grinding" wheel in the trailer. The trailer also has a foam sponge to clean the tracks. Rail Grinder Truck and Track Cleaner by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bricklover Posted February 28, 2016 Cool truck! Can it ride on the road wheels? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashi Valkoinen Posted February 28, 2016 Very nice 6W MOC except the four 4×4 tiles with 4 studs, they break the clear lines. Is there a real prototype for this MOC and it also have a wider part or those plates are holding the sponge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Severus A Posted February 28, 2016 Hey, it looks great and it seems that is also useful for cleaning the tracks. Does it work well on the curves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted March 4, 2016 Cool truck! Can it ride on the road wheels? Thanks. Not really without removing the large train wheels which are attached with a 4x4 Technic brick. The small wheels can flip up. Nice! Thanks. Very nice 6W MOC except the four 4×4 tiles with 4 studs, they break the clear lines. Is there a real prototype for this MOC and it also have a wider part or those plates are holding the sponge? Thanks. It's loosely based on a rail grinder by Austrian company, Linsinger. The plates are there to hold the sponge and keep sparks from flying everywhere.. I could probably use some 2x4 tiles to avoid the studs but the 4x4 plates seem to hold a bit better. Hey, it looks great and it seems that is also useful for cleaning the tracks. Does it work well on the curves? Thanks. It goes fine through curves. I've added a video of it in action to the first post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
