Thanks for the great offer! It's actually working right now. I would need 2 bushings for 3MM shafts and 3.8+ holes. Maybe I could heat the plastic gears and cool the shafts for tighter fit on those bushings?
It's just around 4 times too fast! It was around 4 times too slow. I over shot it! At 10 MPH it seems like it's doing 40MPH. At 15 MPH, she's flying and maybe 60MPH or more?
John,
It think if I had some type of adjustable command control, or for conventional use, it would be fine. I noticed that when I added stripes, the sounds think the engine is running much slower? (chuffing slower, engine's fast) So maybe they're not all being read at higher speeds? I did just change the sound file.
I may have to work on the tach reader and flywheel?
My first tests had the diesel sound set inside so I don't have the sound comparison to go by. I only had a Challenger sound set for a G scale on my computer to try. Every time I try and get a sound file, I get a page of gibberish on my search from MTH.
This engine runs smooth and fast as I want now. I just have to get the control speed synced right.
