Chipping LGB 2067 Track Cleaner

[PhilP]

What voltage is your relay coil rated at?

I use 12V coil relays, with a series resistor.. This allows you to 'trim' the system to get a reliable throw of the relay.
I also use track-voltage to drive the cleaning motor. - That way you are not loading the decoder with both the traction motor and cleaning motor.

So i wired it up via putting the "-" from the track motor to the track power as Phil said and it worked perfectly!! also the motor does not seem to be going quite as fast/violent.

I will order the speed control that Arthur posted to control it better.

Hopefully this will help anyone else that attempts this conversion.

Thanks for all the help I have received.

i can stop bothering people now
