Dave,
What I’m planning on is outside the the original gearbox. It will go
between the motor and gearbox, as Berry called it a “sidewinder”.
I had the gear box out, but not apart on the first
one that I converted to battery. Didn’t see the bearings
I will agree with you on what you said about EMF.
I didn’t put the motor fan back in my first one, so we’ll see if I can
burn it up before I get it regeared.
If Botchman had not screwed up on the gearing and went with the 29 or 30
to 1 that Berry suggested, It would be a hell of a loco for the price.
