WOW! That is awesome. I am going to have to try this sometime in the future. I will suggest some HO pick-up shoes for the power though. Not sure if those would work without some more invasive modding though. I would be loath to make any permanent mods myself. Overall I would say well played sir, well played indeed.

Picked some up today and have been experimenting--as of now, the wire brushes are better--the bogey doesn’t accomodeate the shoes nicely without some heavy mods...

i’ll keep playing. though!
