开云体育Hi David,
?
I think the original motor supplied with the Ruston’s is the Mashima 1015
.
?
My re-motored Ruston has a Mashima 1020 . I think I may have had to remove
part of the firewall? Looking at the model now, there is a hole in the firewall,
and I cannot remember for certain, if that is how the kit came, or whether I had
to do some modifications?
?
By comparison, my BullAnt packet tells me that my Bullant powered Ruston’s
have Mashima 1024 motors. (Major firewall modifications.)
?
I like to let my models run continuously, so for me, having more power than
necessary will ensure that I am not over-working the motors!
?
I hope this helps?

Hi Bruce
?
By sheer coincidence my Ruston's
motor disintegrated while this thread has been going on.? Although I am a
fan of the BullAnt I was thinking of just replacing the old motor with something
a tad larger.
?
Can you recall which motor you
used and were there any pitfalls of which I should be aware?
The loco will only run with light loads, in the order of 3 skips, but it is a long way from one end of the layout to the other! ?
Many thanks
?

Hi Joe,
?
My experiences:
?
The Ruston kit supplied power chassis, works OK. However, the motor is very
small, and I found the wheels could have been better. My plan to replace the
mechanism addressed both these issues, with a much larger, more powerful motor,
and very high quality (Nickel Silver – I think?) wheels.
?
I do operate at least one Ruston with the original wheels, however the
motor has been upgraded, and this Ruston still has all its cab interior
intact.
?
Cheers
Bruce

I'm a newbie to O14. Is there a reason
not to use the power chassis available for the Ruston, supplied by KB Scale? Many thanks, Joe |
