Made from two dummy drive blocks left over from a LGB LCE repowering exercise. I wanted a staggered axle Mogul drive for another project and decided to use some parts laying around. Drive blocks must be bonded with high-strength epoxy glue, as solvent glues will not attach the parts. LGB Mogul drivers are fitted to the standard four-wheel block LGB axle (the Mogul gear as supplied on the axle is too large a diameter and will not fit the gearbox drive). First axle is rod driven. Second and third are motor/gear driven. Rods are modified B’mann Anniversary. Power pickups are a slight problem as the drive block is designed for smaller diameter wheels and not the larger Mogul drive wheels. I will devise a suitable power pickup. Sliders are able to be fitted as per standard LGB design. Drive will be fitted to a modified (shortened) Anniversary body. I need to bond 0.030" styrene to the sides of the drive block to enable detail parts to be fitted and also to limit sideplay in the axles (as I do not run R1 radius curves).
