2:26 The wheels aren't the only problem. The worm can't be moved on that way, it is physically impossible, it is a gear specially enginered to transmit the movement to another gear by spinning itself. But the movement only goes on thet direction, if you try to spin the gear to move the worm, it blocks. Thats how many gear actuators works on real life.

@@LarrysLego you can put the worm gear on the output of the motor and make that drive a regular gear, but not the other way around. There's also small rubber bands that you put around the wheel to give it more traction.

@MaxProduction16 Місяць тому
I have spent many years attempting motorisation of almost anything, so I can confidently say well done! Small train wheels have a lot of friction, so that would be putting extra unnecessary strain on the motor. I haven't seen it done anywhere else but I use a silicone spray to lubricate the axles which removes almost all friction and can more than quadruple the distance rollingstock can roll. It also gets rid of the annoying squeaking that it sometimes makes. It might not be the biggest issue or make the biggest difference for you because you use custom track and your models are quite light, but at the scale I build things it makes an insane difference.
@LarrysLego Місяць тому
Thanks Max! And oh that's good to know. I'll have to try lubricating the axles :) And yeah I can't imagine how needed that would be with how big and heavy your creations are!
@petertrypsteen Місяць тому
@@LarrysLegoIt's possible to drive all four wheels. Use a Lego Technic cross axle to connect opposite train wheels and mount a bevel gear on the cross axle. Position the bevel gear to interlock with the bevel gear on the shaft running along the length of the box(car). Maybe that'll let it go over points without (a) problem(s). Also ask Circuit Cubes to make a smaller train motor brick to motorize narrow gauge locomotives. Worth a try.

Circuit Cubes is game changer for Lego builds, because more smaller option for motorised sets or MOCs, example Speed Champions sets or train sets(City). Lego will make smaller option for motorised sets, because they actual have oversize parts(example motors and battery boxes), if you don't want use old Power functions system with micro motors, maybe older Lego System Electric system(interesting solution for Lego City sets).

@coasterblocks3420 Місяць тому
Good work! Thanks for the mention - very cool! I found that problems going over points and around curves increases with increased wheel base length. I reduced my wheel base on the locos to 8 studs total, which is the shortest I can go using the 20 tooth bevel gear mounted vertically driving a 12 tooth bevel gear on an axle powering both set of wheels. (I hope that all made sense.) My narrow gauge rollingstock is based on that used in Queensland on sugar plantations and our local amusement parks - 2’/610mm industrial tramway gauge, so rollingstock is disproportionally wide, often at or more than twice the track gauge itself. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with!

You might be able to get it to fit into a standard train by swapping out the battery box with a small pouch cell li-on and having a discrete switch to turn it on and off. Also you could add some weights to give it some extra traction.
@nightwing36s Місяць тому
11:45 I don't think it's just number of wheels, but also weight of the pusher- your first design was so light that it didn't really have much pulling/pushing ability before the wheels would spin without traction. The second design did add an extra traction axle, but also added a lot of weight (via other bricks) to help the wheels grip

I think to the issue with the points is, When you pull it with a rope, yours moving it with directions and your lifting it up. But when the Motor Train moves, it just moves forward with no sense of directions and gets pulled down by gravity. For this issue to be fixed you will need a more precise track point to avoid the derailing issue, tho that is basically making or modifying the points lol.
@360lateflip Місяць тому

Of course! That is such a cool idea in theory. Unfortunately it would be way bigger than the rest of the train and the way the wheels work on it would mess it up. Neat idea though
