Tried mine last evening, and after 15 minutes, it did a fine job cleaning my LGB R2 oval. Has nice directional white LED headlights and the six 1.5 volt AAA lithium batteries are ample power for this model. The separately applied details like handrails and cut levers, plus the bell and horn are nicely done. An extra set of easy slip-on cleaning pads are included, and there is a hook and latch coupler on each end. Ran it forward only last night, but will run it backward for 15 minutes tonight. The all-wheel traction tires are very effective. The cleaning pads are a type of ribbed mesh material, and they should have good longevity, especially on smaller layouts. The new as yet not released red RC model is also battery powered with its own remote, and reportedly can be switched to track power, but that will have to be verified when they are delivered.
