<p>you have both been helpful! thankyou. I can make gears, and plates etc, but didnt really want to put too much trial and error into getting it running right. do these motors run an engine and train at a reasonable speed for a reasonable amount of time? it will only be a little train, on a small layout, but it may also have some steep inclines too. wanted to make the motor an extention of the engine frames like the old hornby engines. it needs a brake and a governer, maybe even with jewelled bearings as they are the parts that wear first. just two brass plates like a clock, with spacers between. </p><p> I also wonder about coplers, whats does everyone think about them? want something metal, and dont want to have buffers, so i can get closer radiuses on my track. a centre buffer and hooks perhaps?</p><p>love to hear more :)</p><p>*EMMA*</p>
