(...) Agreed. I remember my 8448 as being very smooth when it was built, and I was able to motorise it using the older 9V ungeared motor no problem. If my memory is correct I geared the motor down by 9:1 before the gearbox, and it would even start (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

I know I've seen something about this before in .technic, but I've been searching for ages and can't find any posts on this. I recently bought the 8448 (after a couple of years of waiting to find one in a sale, but finally gave in), and the gearing (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)
