This model needs to be hauled by a locomotive as motorised merely reflects the motor driving the cleaning heads and not the movement of the model. Replacement heads pads and consumables are also available from our website whould you need them. Please only use a plastic compatible cleaner for filling the fluid reservior in the track cleaner. Dapol can not be held responsible for damage caused by other cleaning fluid and only recommend Dapol track cleaning fluid (Dapol Track Cleaning Fluid is not included with the model). The model is DCC ready
