It works alright tony. Some power in the cutter too, as it's hydraulic. Also, very nice photos, sometimes the PWay stuff can be ignored in favour of locos and stock, so kudos for documenting it like this

I was thinking of a scratch built 07 tamper model, and building in a track cleaner,

 

but they are very complex to model , anyone know of any general arrangement drawings. I emailed Plasser , but not a dickey bird

Try http://www.barrowmor.../Prototype.html scroll down to Book 400 (ON Track Plant) any amount of drawings here.
