      Hi ya.
      Thank you for your comment.
      Yeah we all learn by our mistakes.
      If you use IPA make sure you fill it with a syringe, wish I'd done that.
      Merry Christmas to you and have a fantastic new year 🍾

    When I worked at Gulliver's Gate in Manhattan (the American rip-off of Miniature Wonderland) back in 2017-2018 I acquired one of these (as well as a similar unit from another brand - the name is forgotten with time) solely for the purpose of the vacuum feature. Because the layouts used DCC, and I didn't want to install decoders in them, I instead wired diodes to rectify the AC to DC for the motor. Well, it was worth the investment. Once a week I run them around each layout, and the amount of dirt that accumulated each week was amazing. Definitely worth the money.

    Hi Pete, your video has given me inspiration to get my Dapol cleaner out again, I haven’t used it for ages, I should use it more often to be honest, but it was surprising how much it picked up from your track! Anyway, you and Su have a great Christmas and hopefully we can meet up sometime in the New Year. 👍🏻👍🏻. Cheers for now mate. ………….Graham

      If you get it out don't make my mistake with the IPA.I can live with the paint damage but it was something that wouldn't of happened if I'd used a syringe 💉.
      Yeah be great to have a meet up haven't had a face to face for ages.

    Hi PETE!! Awesome mug off DEANO 😊 Great video too. Very interesting. I know IPA can be used for stripping paint off locos (as demonstrated by Chadwick taking numbers off. If i ever felt rich enough to buy one then hopefully I'll remember to varnish it first to protect the paint 😋Thanks for sharing this though. I can't believe the amount of stuff it picked up! Happy modeling ate and have a lovely festive season 😁 Mav

    Sorry to hear about the paintwork. Seems a design weakness if they recommend IPA. I think the washer you asked about might be a spare for under the tank filler cap. I've got one of these wagons (non-DCC) and I only use it as a travelling vacuum.

    Hey Pete.
    Word of warning.
    IPA is the equivalent of a paint stripper.
    I discovered this to my detriment and wrecked the paint on one of my locos so now won't use it other than on a cotton bud for cleaning old motors and wheels.
    Is methylated spirits a less harmful alternative?
    Thats what i use on my track.
    Love your mate Bob's message.
    Merry Christmas my friend.
