(...) That's what I figured. Not having any of these motors, I cobbled it in LDRAW, and the clips in the model are too low. I figure I'll just make a dolly the same size from bricks and the old train wheels (with the metal axle from the 4.5V days) (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Correct me if I'm wrong, but the cadence will be set by the slowest assembly cell, correct? So if your goal is a a fast cadence, you need *every* cell to meet at least that minimum requirement. Or, since you are using train track, with (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
