Gears and flywheels, with a hefty central motor. "Pancake" motors are to be avoided - I have a few British locos with these drive systems, and they're embarrassing when compared to the latest Bachmann British-outline products - these now have drive systems comparable to Lifelike Proto 1k/2k, see-through roof grilles, seperate radiator fan mouldings, a DCC socket and come with a bag of extra details to fit on the bufferbeams - though this can pose problems with couplers. However, a piece of brass wire bent to shape, painted black, and fitted into holes in the chassis works very well with standard UK "Tension-lock" couplers, and also has the benefit of protecting the detail parts.
