I've tried this one with a Technic motor driving a cogwheel and carrying its
own battery pack. It worked fairly well but I was disappointed to discover
that it was outperformed (in terms of maximum incline) by an old 4.5V train
motor using just its rubber wheels for traction! I had the problem that
cogwheel would very easily skip when a steep incline was attempted. I could
easily come up with a better mechanism but doing it in the confines of a
realistic looking locomotive is really hard.
