The Railhead Treatment Train as with all our models is within 0.5mm of real scale, it is a fully working model which we use on our clubs track.

This model is designed to be propelled by a powered loco.

The front is a four wheeled dummy loco, there are a pair of motorised brushes both in front and to the rear of the front axle which scrub the track and also eject leaves and twigs, between the axles is a set of squeeze rubbers which remove the water etc. from the track.

On the real rhtt the rear part of the set is a water container but on this model the tanks are false, this section houses another set of squeeze rubbers for a final water removal, at the rear of the back axle is a sandite-box, this is filled with scouring powder which is ejected from the box automatically onto the track, this helps prevent wheel slip, especially where there are steam locos operating on the same tracks.

The 12 volt batteries are located under the roof (batteries are not supplied with the model)
