I remember my K-Line USRA Mikado having a really steep gear ratio, something like 12:1. Is the Husdon like that? I also found the 83XX Pitmans to be a bit 'coggy' at low speed with ERRCo Cruise for some reason, despite them being a 7 pole motor. I've seen those Hudsons go for cheap money but always avoided them since I wanted to pull a full train of GGD coaches that have lived under my layout for years now.

I’m sure Ted S. can tell us the gear ratio of these pups....as I have no clue off the top of my head....anything has got to be better than the whimpy 385 motor that resides in there now....8300 series & 8400 series Pittmans share the same can....If the 8300’s tend to be coggy, I’ll jump up .....everything I got here to try out are Pittman LO-COG’s ...so I reckon we’ll put their advertisement to the test....😉.............Pat
