I just finished a new rail truck that I am rather proud of:
It is a color modified version of the Rio Grande Southern Motor #1 which
currently resides in Colorado’s Ridgeway Railroad Museum. My model is based
on the model of this by Bachmann, and is customized to my own Horseshoe Bend
Rail Road.
It is motorized with a regular geared 9V motor, powered by a 9V battery box
in the back of the truck. The drive wheels are Big Ben Brick small wheels.

Thats is really nice, curiously I was reading a magazine review of the Bachmann
model a couple of days ago. I love the way you have managed to fit the
‘workings’ into the load space and keep the diminutive look of the cab and hood.
Its one of those MOCs thats just ‘right’ As a matter of interest how fast does
it go?

| (...) I haven't timed it but it does pretty good. Just about fast enough for something like this, probably equivilant to around a settling of 3 (of 8) on the 9V speed controller. Fast enough to move nicely and not be speeding - I would guess a scale (...) (18 years ago, 30-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
