| That might very well almost hold true (I am no expert) if your motors were hooked up like: [power]--------[moto...---[motor] (parallel circuit) But I have mine hooked up like: [motor]--------[powe...---[motor] (parallel circuits) I assume one motor (...)

| (...) the length of the wire has nothing to do with the speed. the problem is that one motor, the first one on the line, is getting most of the power. the motor at 9v, 12v or 115v that doesn't mean thats the exact amount of power that it uses, it (...)

The wire is connected to the lift span at both ends via (...) (21 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

It appears your diagonals go in both directions, mirrored about the center of the bridge: (URL) did you mean that your diagonals go from top right to bottom left (looking at the right-half of a span), and the diags on my (...)

You also need one control line(running off the same motor but geared down 2:1). The lifting line goes up the first (...) (21 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)
