This CMX Cleaning car started as brass model. At first it got a primer and some time in the oven. Then came glossy black with the airbrush. Next step after drying time, decals.

The first engine has lost contact - and the train stopped. Perhaps it blocked someway. I was lucky, the train did not fall on the floor, 50'' deeper!

This way the train should run:
