2:26 The wheels aren't the only problem. The worm can't be moved on that way, it is physically impossible, it is a gear specially enginered to transmit the movement to another gear by spinning itself. But the movement only goes on thet direction, if you try to spin the gear to move the worm, it blocks. Thats how many gear actuators works on real life.

I have spent many years attempting motorisation of almost anything, so I can confidently say well done! Small train wheels have a lot of friction, so that would be putting extra unnecessary strain on the motor. I haven't seen it done anywhere else but I use a silicone spray to lubricate the axles which removes almost all friction and can more than quadruple the distance rollingstock can roll. It also gets rid of the annoying squeaking that it sometimes makes. It might not be the biggest issue or make the biggest difference for you because you use custom track and your models are quite light, but at the scale I build things it makes an insane difference.

@@LarrysLegoIt's possible to drive all four wheels. Use a Lego Technic cross axle to connect opposite train wheels and mount a bevel gear on the cross axle. Position the bevel gear to interlock with the bevel gear on the shaft running along the length of the box(car). Maybe that'll let it go over points without (a) problem(s). Also ask Circuit Cubes to make a smaller train motor brick to motorize narrow gauge locomotives. Worth a try.

yup, there was loads of torque (torque is a rotational 'strength' , the wheels were often spinning despite the lack of forward motion) but that was not being translated into a tractive ( a linear 'strength') force. A bit of additional weight on tractor unit * might* have helped.

Circuit Cubes is game changer for Lego builds, because more smaller option for motorised sets or MOCs, example Speed Champions sets or train sets(City). Lego will make smaller option for motorised sets, because they actual have oversize parts(example motors and battery boxes), if you don't want use old Power functions system with micro motors, maybe older Lego System Electric system(interesting solution for Lego City sets).

11:45 I don't think it's just number of wheels, but also weight of the pusher- your first design was so light that it didn't really have much pulling/pushing ability before the wheels would spin without traction. The second design did add an extra traction axle, but also added a lot of weight (via other bricks) to help the wheels grip

Good work! Thanks for the mention - very cool! I found that problems going over points and around curves increases with increased wheel base length. I reduced my wheel base on the locos to 8 studs total, which is the shortest I can go using the 20 tooth bevel gear mounted vertically driving a 12 tooth bevel gear on an axle powering both set of wheels. (I hope that all made sense.) My narrow gauge rollingstock is based on that used in Queensland on sugar plantations and our local amusement parks - 2’/610mm industrial tramway gauge, so rollingstock is disproportionally wide, often at or more than twice the track gauge itself. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with!

Glad you thought so! Even if there's no Percy (yet...) it was too fitting not to use 😄 S.A Music is so great

That was a lovely video. It looks like you learned a lot from the process. The final (for now) powered van is very neat. I wonder if there's scope to move the wheels closer, which would help with points.

Thank you! I sure did I should have more directly mentioned in the video that I didn't *want* the wheels to be so far apart, it's just that putting the components between them seemed to be the only way to fit it all in and that forced them to be exactly that far apart.

I got a six stud wide mock switcher I'mma gonna try this on. I already have the gear-train figured out, all I'd have to do is cosmetic modifications.

A good upgrade would probably be a rigid front coupler. It would make pushing easier, look better, and remove the need for swapping buffers

The low bufferbeam is kinda accurate, not for the utility van but some trucks and annie in the first seasons had low bufferbeams so they lineup with thomas' low bufferbeams (The truck can be seen in down the mine when thomas' fireman changes the points)

I bought their tank kit off amazon after watching your video. So 2 motors and a battery. Surprisingly 1 motor is enough to move a fairly big 6 wide train. Also because i have more space, playing with gear ratios you can get them to go fairly fast.

Nice one! Hope you are having fun with it. I know some use them for 6-wide trains too :)

If pushing train cars becomes an issue in corners, just make it pull the whole train backwards ans reverse the video
