motors for Wrightlines WW1 Simplex

annie95065 All Messages By This Member #6456 开云体育 Hi all, ? I’m just wondering what experience you all might have of building the Wrightlines WW1 Simplex “Tin Turtles”? I have a kit W225 and was wondering about the best way to motorise it. ? Should I use a Keykits motor-bogey, or perhaps a Black-Beetle? Does the KB scale chassis fit? ? Also are there any other little extra details or known issues with the kit? ? Any help and advice very gratefully received. ? Thanks, Tim
David John All Messages By This Member #6457 Hi Tim Mine is on the Wrightlines 014 motor bogie and fits fine.? Top end is a little lively - but then no-one shoots at it on Rhyd!? Slow running is perfectly acceptible. I understand the Black Beetle is not easy to regauge down to 14mm and both the Halling and BullAnt are probably too high for the cast floor - but may be possible if you cut bits away.

[email protected] #6459 Tim, Hollywood will do a BullAnt bogie to TT fine = 14.2mm gauge and do go down to TT coarse = 12mm so an exactly 14mm gauge version ought to be possible. I would go for one of those, unless you want to run the turtle with its doors open when there might be visibility of motor issues. Adrian

Bruce Wilson All Messages By This Member #6462 开云体育 I just ordered and received a drive with a Mashima motor so I suppose he still has stock or access to them.
