KevWright Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I'm about to start on a couple of GWR 0-6-0's and I can't get hold of my preferred gearbox, the Roadrunner+, as HLK aren't back in business yet. Looking at alternatives, there's the Comet GB5 which can have a drive extender added that seems to give the same sort of configuration possibilities, and the Branchlines Slimline 2SL box which might also give me what I need. Just wondering if anyone has experience of either of these, before I spend my hard-earned dosh? Many thanks in advance. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barclay Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I have always liked the Branchlines Multibox with its variety of axle locations, although from what you say you may require something slimmer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Comet do a 2 stage gearbox, I have one which is very good. Markits also produce 2 stage gearboxes, look for the newer gearsets with smaller worm gears though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrtal Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I have assembled a couple of the Comet GB5's and am very happy with them. Functional, with solid looking brass gears. John.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
