Reply to "A Study in SG Motor Conversions"

Now, how about some can motor conversions.

This is the motor truck that is used in the steeplecab I ran on my Christmas layout. See it in action here:

It's a simple small can motor mounted parallel with traction tires. As you can see in the Christmas Layout video, it has no trouble pulling cars.

Sometimes ideas work better than the actual thing.

This was a motor used in something else, not sure what. I have yet to power it up and see if it works.

Simple can motor mounted perpendicular above the axle, chain drive to the other axle.

Same motor set-up, but it has a rubber band supporting the motor.

That covers some of the can motors, there are plenty more out there but they are all about the same.
