Re: Pulleys and Belts instead of gears

Charles Peck All Messages By This Member #4251 I was always disappointed by the jerkiness of the Athearn rubber band drives.? Possibly some modern O-rings may do better. I would look at toothed belts if it were not for the right angle problem.? Getting rid of the noise with new properly fitted worm and gear might be a satisfactory solution as well.?

Similar to the early locos that Athearn powered with rubber bands many years ago, I am going to try and re-power an old Mantua 0-4-0 with a pulley and belt, the advantage being quiet operation. So I'm wondering if anyone on here ever tried this approach. Richard in Vermont
