It depends on the loco - in general, if they don't mention a flywheel in the descriptions they probably don't have one - I have three of their cheap Geeps which have a fine drive system apart from the lack of flywheels - they would be superb if they had them. The motor is a decent quality can type and all wheels are driven through sweet-running gearing. I've popped the shell off one of these to investigate adding flywheels but come to the conclusion that it's pretty much impossible - there is little or no space between the upper and lower frame castings, and there's a hefty chunk of casting either end of the motor to hold it in place. Pity really, as these are decent models (for the money) otherwise and run well, you just have to be careful to keep track very clean to avoid stalling. Hope this helps!
