    Arriving in the post today from " the bay " is the above loco kit.

    I'll post up a couple of pictures of the contents and a few words when I get back in later tonight.

    Cheers

    and inside the box ........ first off is the instructions. pretty detailed although I've not read them right through yet.
    [​IMG]

    well packed and protected.

    slaters wheels and gears are included but not the motor ........ no hasttle there ...... 1 mashima will be on order shortly.
    [​IMG]
    then we have the resin cast boiler tank etc.
    [​IMG] and then ........ [​IMG]
    nickel silver chassis
    [​IMG]

    then ....... [​IMG]
    etched brass cab and dooberies.
    and there we have it. All looks present and correct although I still have to officially check the parts off against the parts list that comes with the destructions. should be ok as none of the parts bags have been opened but I'll check any way.
    looks like a nice kit ...... sorry about the last photo dunno what I did there. :avatar:
    cheers for now

    I am aware that the Mashima 1833 motor is the motor of choice for this model. I have the gearbox etc but cant seem to be able to buy a motor by itself. can anyone suggest an alternative that will suit. I'm sure the gearbox is a 40/1 ratio.
    cheers

    Cheers,

    What does a flywheel do when added to a motor and is it really beneficial to have ?

    The fly wheels are used to smooth out the motor pulses plus give the motor some additional rotating mass as it says fly wheel in some cases on DC control can help if there is a dead spot and looses power

    Some say with DCC not nessasary but I have 2 locos that are basically the same one with one without F/W and the one with the flywheel is a little smoother running
