I’ve always thought of getting a vacuum car for my railroad. After researching the internet, I found there are many models from commercial companies that vary in price range. I also found they are all built the same way mechanically and electronically.
Then I decided to build my own version. I first thought of using a box car, then a locomotive dummy shell, then decided where I had an old Roundhouse MDC track cleaner at hand, that I would kit bash it and convert it for my needs. The pictures posted above gives a quick visual of the Idea, Parts, and Intended Vacuum Device for the L&R. Please follow along with this build that I will be conducting.
Next post will start my construction build.
