Reply to "Doug Cockerham drives - newb question(s)"

Like a few of us, but Doug towards the end, he went to using gear head motors.  What you have is one of his later drives with a Pittman gear head motor.  As a matter of fact I'm using them on the 27 Baldwin Center Cab drives I'm building for Lou @CLW.  Everything beyond the gear head is 1:1.  Over the years I've worked on many of his drives and he did a great job and made things that were stout.  The gear tower is his own design but axle gearboxes varied because he was having difficulty getting the Ajin/Overland boxes he liked so much.  Mush more to the story but that's enough for now.
