Hi,

Slightly smaller worm gears available here http://shop.kkpmo.com/index.php?cat=c63 ... ecken.html

Thanks PetrOs, I was thrown by there being no picture on that page but I've got it now.

Did you purchase your 2.85mm gears with a 1mm hole or a 1.5mm hole?
Joe.

I got the 1mm hole ones but I did get a set of axels without the gears so hopefully I'll just need to make the holes bigger.

I'll now get on with ordering the wrong worm.

Email sent.

Good luck with the check ride.

Ivan.

I had a little time, so I added some more detail to my locomotive. I added a ladder from the TGauge.com valve gear sheet, and some coal to the tender. I used Woodland scenics fine cinders. They seem like the perfect size for coal in this scale!

Uwe,

The video’s in my build thread of my Pennsylvania 4-6-2 show my model runs well using the tender for picking up power. I really have had no issues with drag, but I am only using two magnetic wheels on the front and rear bogies of the tender.

However, I will experiment with picking up power from the main wheels as you suggested.

Joe.
