Ferdie Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hi Ray, Saw this layout of yours at the Taunton School exhibition a few years ago. Love it! Feltham was the nearest shed to me when I lived in Twickenham and managed to bunk a few times. I remember you have a model of a W class, built from a PDK kit I think. I am thinking of getting the kit. What motor did you use? PDK themselves recommend High Level motors and gears but have not a clue as to which to use??

He used a Loadhauler and a 1424. I used a similar motor with a flywheel and a roadrunner+ box in mine. The new HL motors are significantly shorter, so I can't imagine you'll have any issues with that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jack, Looking at the HL website they show the Loadhauler and Loadhauler Compact, but cannot see a motor with the reference 1424. I will contact them to see what might have replaced it.

I put a very low gearing in this as I only use it for shunting as you can get a very slow speed and the motor is spinning very high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Thanks Ray for the info. I will give them a buzz. I am trying to ascertain the correct driving wheel to use. Looking at photos. I cannot quite decided whether they are 16 or 17 spoke? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
