I built a prototype of a narrow gauge motor yesterday. I’m happy how it works so far as only one wheel is powered right now as I only had one worm gear. When I started building this I decided to emulate the drive trains of many model locomotives that I’ve seen which involve a motor with a worm gear 90 degrees to the powered axle. I tried that design initially and the locomotive was way too slow. So this build, I sped up the RPM of the worm gear by adding gears. The plan is to build the battery into another car that is coupled and powered through a universal gear as I’ve seen in other prototypes. These two “cars” will then push the “locomotive” which is currently a WIP.

My vote would be for a narrow gauge train.

I think it's great and something I'm planning in the future. Thanks for the information and inspiration.

It looks cool and I'm surprised that I didn't notice it was photoshopped. It looks like Lego artwork and gives me some ideas for building my backdrop.

Great pictures! Your backdrops are really cool. Do you print those too?

Trix Brix makes a R24 curve https://www.trixbrix.eu/en_US/p/Curved-Track-R24/32 I just received an order from them that included some narrow gauge track and turnouts as well as a couple of standard gauge switches and am quite happy.

Interested to know how you guys "geared down" the controller, there was a recent thread started about fine control for Lego trains. https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/158212-fine-control-for-lego-trains/ I am also very hopeful we'll see a new PF with Wifi or Bluetooth. I'm kind of disappointing with the IR and was planning to replace it with something more reliable. Patrick

I haven't heard any discussion about the signal mast on the box of the passenger train.
