Dave said "I'm really interested in where the motor/drive came from, been looking but can't find anything similar."

 

Cloggydog mentioned them on the thread 'axle hung motors' in the motors and drive section. re; http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10260566

No connection, yada yada, etc.

 

Sorry my quote function (brain) doesn't work.

Google 'Nigel Lawton 009' and he has a web site with all sorts of teeny weeny motors and so forth...................

I have a couple of Branchlines motorising thingies for the railbus and they both work well, Mashima can in one 5 pole( open frame Mashima) in the other older one.

 

provided that the pickup to the floating axle end isisulated by a sleeve to almost the wheel flange, and weight is centrally placed slow an smooth running is possible. Both have flywheels fitted by the way.
