The Bowser kits come with an open frame motor, but they sell a can motor from another manufacturer for about $40. I have an MDC 2-6-2 that has a bent driver axle with a Sagami can motor that came in the kit. I also built an old Tyco kit that runs better in reverse than forward! Once the Bowser I built gets painted and lubed it should have a pretty good slow speed. I track tested it yesterday without any oil or lube and it started out with just a little turn of the throttle. The thing wieghs a ton! I'm sure this thing will out-pull any thing else I've got! <br /> <br />Terry
