Reply to "Overland loco drivetrain noise"

Well, it's not an Overland but I didn't feel like opening a new thread.

 

Just finished this one. It's a Car Works FM H-16-44. It came with a Weaver drive. The owner wanted a new drive, DCC and concersion to P48. Runs fairly well and draws less the 1/2 amp at full throttle.

 

I installed a new Faulhaber gear head motor.  The gear head has a 14:1 reduction and is a planetary type.  Everything beyond the gear head is 1:1.  All bearings, including the axle journals, are ball bearings. It has an HO Tsunami decoder, it doesn't need anything larger because at full throttle it draws less than 1/2 an amp.  This particular model was converted to P48.

The bottom two attachments are actually videos. If you click on the picture you may get a video. Since I really don't know what I'm doing when I try to create the videos it's kind of a crap shoot! Hope they work.
