Excellent article! I want to make one, but the web site does not have November issue listed so unable to download file ...

Over the years I have gathered 3 Rivarrosi O gauge diesel locomotives. All use the same motor - a "can" style motor on the middle of a shaft with a worm gear at each end (a bit like the old Tri-ang motor bogie). Works well in both directions Stays stalled, even on full power, until given a nudge in the right direction Has never worked Has anyone any thoughts on what is wrong with no 2? Does anyone know of a source of replacements (other than another loco) for no 3? John H.
