After a short while just collecting thoughts i soldered the couplng rods together and fitted them ....... mmm and there was something binding .
I realised you have to countersink the crankpins at the back of the wheel, they were rubbing on the bearings, a 2.5 mm drill gently created a pocket for the bolts head
then all rotated smoothly,
mmm should I ???
ok i fitted the motor and powered it up and whoo whoo it ran up and down a length of track with no binding no limping or lurching, now I have decided to order slaters plunger pickups after an attempting use PCB and springy wire so its on pause again

 

and i forgot to do some pics sorry

Tin the ends of the plunger pickups and your flexible leads. Then when it's assembled, the quickest dab with a soldering iron to join them. If you linger, the heat warms up the spring, and it melts into the plastic bush. Guess how I found that out.

Cheers for that
