That's going to be quite quick I would've thought, what's the RPM of these things?

PCLR · Post by **PCLR** » Wed Jan 13, 2010 8:17 pm

about 550 rpm 6 try on the fly = 1 turn of the wheels

Hmm, I once had a go and used 1:12 gearing which gave a slow and powerful run with a mamod minor, but then I really love trains running slow!

PCLR · Post by **PCLR** » Wed Jan 13, 2010 8:21 pm

my ratio is an esterment i think i can get a 10 to1 which it better

Dr. Bond of the DVLR · Post by **Dr. Bond of the DVLR** » Wed Jan 13, 2010 8:23 pm

That would be much better! More power that way too!

Sorry I originaly missed the start of this thread, are you still going to steam ekectric it or just steam power?

PCLR · Post by **PCLR** » Fri Jan 15, 2010 7:53 pm
