Sometimes my english, plays against me.....
My idea was to use the metallic wheels of the motor in a standard boggie, for
testing purposes, if this works, the following step was to make a copy of the
wheels with a lathe, but Larry and Dean make me notice that the wheels are
different. I never thought of using a motor box as source of energy for the
cars because it is too expensive.
My next step, is to use the standard plastic wheels (from cars boggie) with a
collar (ring) over this, I hope this works.
Keep you posted.
