The carrier for the crown wheel is done. The wheel is fixed to the carrier by 2-part epoxy glue and the carrier has been drilled and tapped to take a 14BA grub screw, with a flat milled on the axle.The set up has been tested by sticking the two wires onto a controller and it is amazingly smooth.

I have also started to assemble the cylinders, slidebars etc.

Really interesting set up. I have a couple of those motor gearbox combos but not the nylon final drive gears. Nice neat solution.

The first time I tried to get one of these units into a locomotive was with steel bevel gears but it wasn't a success. I can't take any credit for the idea of using plastic gears; that's all down to Geoff Helliwell and his article in April 2018 Railway Modeller, where he shows his use of N20 motor/gearboxes with plastic gears.
