Hey all
I'm new to the world of scale trains and am looking to build a garden railway in 1/16th scale.
I'm currently designing a GP60 for a 90mm guage track,
But unfortunately not knowing what components I have to work with is really hindering me.
Ive got access to a laser cutter for parts and a lathe for turning parts like wheels and axles.
I'm based in New Zealand.
I'd really like some input from some of the more experienced members on this forum as I go through the designing process.
I'd like to start off by asking, what would your recommendations for drive motors be and how would you mount them?
I had the idea of having two electric motors Mounted inside the body above the pivot point on the trucks, a shaft that goes through a bearing "into" the truck, and a chain/gear setup to connect the shaft to the axles.
Any ideas for why this wouldn't work or perhaps a better way of doing it?
Looking for suggestions.
