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.

@@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).

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

2:26 dude, it wasn't a torque problem, it was a friction problem, the wheels were slipping under the too much torque and not enough weight to push it down, it didn't have grip and traction to pull itself so it was just spinning in place like a toyota pickup that buried itself knee deep in mud. For the wormgear config: Almost in all cases the wormgear is the driven part that will drive the cogwheels. bear in mind the gear reduction as there is always a gear reduction on those things. it will give you more torque in return for speed. my advice is to mount the battery and mototor inline, attach the wormgear to the mototor, connect the two wheels on the front via this config: L.wheel=cogwheel=R.wheel. it will give you more torque. if you notice the wheels slipping add gear reduction (not to increase torque but to decrease speed) or weight.

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.

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!

No problem! Ah yes that makes sense - don't worry, it all did Oh that's cool! I did not know that loco had a basis, nice one :) That also explains the disproportionately wide loco Thanks Coaster Blocks, likewise!

In regards to making it smaller: I know that lego has made an official "micro motor" that runs on 9V and is the size of a 2x2 brick. Many people use it for motorizing lego miniatures (a good example is the golf marbe maze that JK brickworks made). Unfortunately there would be a problem with getting power to it, but I feel like a bodge with some bluetooth micro battery pack wouldn't be hard.

As a Technic aficionado and future engineer, seeing you struggle with the gears and not taking the cables into account when designing was quite infuriating, but I’m glad you figured it out 😅 Great vid Larry

I bet! I am not an engineer 😅 (I even had cut dialogue saying this...) But having people who knew it more in live chat helped!

I’m not even a engineer but I feel like it common sense that when a gear rotates another gear, the other gear rotates in the opposite direction.

Personaly they look closer to a GWR van however it is very close to regular scale , and especially from standing or kneeling its hard to tell apart

That was a lovely video. It looks like you learned a lot from the process. The final (for now) powered van is very neat. I wonder if there's scope to move the wheels closer, which would help with points.

@LarrysLego Ай бұрын
Thank you! I sure did I should have more directly mentioned in the video that I didn't *want* the wheels to be so far apart, it's just that putting the components between them seemed to be the only way to fit it all in and that forced them to be exactly that far apart.

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
