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.

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

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!

@@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.

I had a thought. If you were building a full size steam engine, you could put the motor in the tender and run a drive shaft to the locomotive. The large wheels will actually enhance the look of the engine. The catch is making the engine heavier with some more non Lego components.

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).

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!

I bought their tank kit off amazon after watching your video. So 2 motors and a battery. Surprisingly 1 motor is enough to move a fairly big 6 wide train. Also because i have more space, playing with gear ratios you can get them to go fairly fast.

Nice one! Hope you are having fun with it. I know some use them for 6-wide trains too :)

I think the word you used for Torque you need is Tractive Effort. They are very different, as tractive effort is an Indicator of pulling power. Basically, weight and amount of powered axles are good if they are higher

yup, there was loads of torque (torque is a rotational 'strength' , the wheels were often spinning despite the lack of forward motion) but that was not being translated into a tractive ( a linear 'strength') force. A bit of additional weight on tractor unit * might* have helped.

I have noticed with my set of circuit cubes that they often loose the bluetooth connection with the device that controls them, and I was wondering if you ever had that problem. I also noticed that your motor looks very fast on the narrow gauge track (faster than it looks on standard gauge). Very well done! hope you can work out the bugs, and maybe fit it in a LEGO Gordon or Henry.

Oh right, I had that but only if I left it alone for a long while. And thank you! :) It's worth noting that in the final montage with it pushing trains I sometimes sped up the footage for it to sync with the music

I feel like actually fits in because it look almost identical to any other cargo train cart

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.
