Abstract
A model car includes an attachment member that holds a polishing film, a holding member that rotatably holds the attachment member, and an eccentric mechanism which is able to eccentrically move the attachment member. When the eccentric mechanism penetrates a floor plate of the model car and is held on the floor plate to be movable up and down, the model car is able to be self-propelled while not bearing any weight of the attachment member, the holding member, and the eccentric mechanism in a state in which the polishing film contacts the surface of the model rail.
Claims2
A model railroad car for cleaning surfaces of rails of a model railroad, comprising:
- an attachment member that holds a polishing film contacting the surfaces of the rails of the model railroad to clean the surfaces thereof;
- a holding member that holds the attachment member to be rotatable about an orthogonal shaft orthogonal to a plane including the surface of the rail;
- and
- an eccentric mechanism which is able to eccentrically move the attachment member within a plane including the surface of the rail,
- wherein the eccentric mechanism penetrates a floor plate of the model railroad car for cleaning rails and is held on the floor plate to be movable up and down, thereby the model railroad car for cleaning rails is able to be self-propelling while not bearing any weight of the attachment member, the holding member, and the eccentric mechanism in a state in which the polishing film contacts the surface of the rail.
