....the top half, that is.
Suppose there were manufacturers -- well, importers -- that made good or at least good enough models of diesel and electric locomotives that would tempt you to buy them -- except for the twin motor China drives. Now suppose there was a small manufacturer who would supply a kit that would contain:
- two right angle drives, the vertical shaft of which had a suitable worm gear attached, that would bolt right to the existing motor mountings -- and which has a 'further' gear reduction
- two double universal drive shafts
- a good quality motor with premounted flywheel
- misc hardware to mount the above
Would you consider it ? Is there an opportunity for an entrepreneur [ not me !! ] here ? Has anyone done this just for themselves ?
This isn't the best solution of course -- but it might be a reasonable solution, and the relatively high degree of standard [ for each importer ] drive assemblies [ or so I am led to believe ] might make it feasible.....
Best regards, SZ
