So a few days ago, I mentioned how the original version of this mod wasn't working properly... well, now it is! Having tightened everything up, and given it a bit of oil, it's working. It's not hugely slower than the original, but it will get tamed when the heavier bodywork is put back on, the plastic chassis is very light on its own. But you can see from the old motor mount just how much smaller this motor is, which will allow me to build some less chunky locos on it. Now the question is, do I still need to finish the second version with lower gearing?

Yes that is an improvement but with higher gearing that would be a lot better. Go for it, you are going in the right direction and with a higher ratio, using the compound gears, you should be able to make it very controllable.
