sir douglas Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 for a long time ive been thinking of how to get the Moyse running after not being able to get the belt drive working since i built it 2 years ago quick recap since its been a while, the loco in question the old power arrangement of a N20+gearbox driven through bevel gears and then coupled by home made pulleys then last year i figured, the N20 motor would fit side ways in the middle with 2 equal gear trains either way to the axles But i didnt have any suitable sized gears to try out, which i do now. i had to get a new N20 motor as the right hand one has a very short shaft with a brass gear fixed on, so i'll leave t as it is to use on something else 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used railtec transfers to good effect for some fine ones on a Dapol model and you cant tell the difference from the originals. For an old Cooper Craft China clay conversion, which has quite large bolt heads, I cut them off the end I was turning into a door, then glued them back on again where needed. It's a bit of a faff to get things looking even though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir douglas Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 spent most of today drawing, ive a gear train sorted but now need to decide on the framing for it and preparing gears; the larger gears are second hand 11mm Heljan, the middle 4 are 6mm cut in half and the 4 smaller cut off the side of a set of 16mm gears. not shown is the 4mm gear on the motor but i couldnt just get 1 so had to buy a pack of them 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
