My Hudswell 040 shunter scratch build

Yup, gearing is an important issue. We're heading towards matters outside of my pay grade, but electric motors are happier when they're spinning freely - they're not good at bottom end grunt. This is why gearing is important in model railway terms; it's not just about speed.

In G scale, some of our trains can be weighty :nod::nod:

I can understand the mechanical bit, but with some of the electrical theory I can only repeat what I've been told :emo::emo:

I think we are on the same pay grade, I only know about these motors ( Crawler motors ) that are happy to inch along at very slow speeds and carry a car weight of up to 4 kg's, but pull that trigger and they are off at
a break neck speed, something to do with the amount of turns in the wiring I believe, and it's a good idea to not let the smoke out of them .:tmi:

As I had mentioned in my newbie post I have been building a scratch built Hudswell battery powered, and I now know how
to post my pic's on here LOL, anyhow, it's made from brass sheet upper with steel chassis. I am about to scrap my drive line
as I don't think it will preform well enough, so I'm on the hunt for better ideas on here, so here it is so far.. trouble is I did take photos until I was well into it. :rolleyes:
