Yep, I can only dream that the adjusted the gear ratio in the new motors. The
current 9v train motors run way to fast, I’d gladdly trade that for a bit
more torque.
But even at differnt speeds, the BBB wheels have less traction, allowing them
to slip some, and motors tend to to syncronize a bit once they’re under way.
So it might actually be cool, the steam engine’s drive wheels slip as try’s
to start up, then the train starts to move forward, and the wheels grab, off
she goes.
