Description
This is the non-R/C version: a power switch on the bottom of the chassis controls forward, stop, and reverse and is easy to reach while the loco is on the track, which makes it simple to run two Clean Machines coupled back-to-back for faster cleaning. The 38508 is powered exclusively by six AAA batteries (not included, high-capacity rechargeables recommended) and keeps the detailed GE 25-Ton body with operating directional lighting, a realistic cab interior, a 5-pole precision can-type ball-bearing motor, factory-applied handrails and steps, and hook-and-loop couplers ready for Kadee knuckle couplers. The minimum recommended radius is 600mm (23.6 inches).
