Hello
im looking into designing a custom pull-back or clockwork motor for a LEGO Armoured train that I plan on building. The front unit is going to be articulated to the rest of the train using hinge pieces and similar to Talgo rolling stock.
The only issue is building the custom motor to power the train. Where on the train should the motor be built at? And what gear ratios should I use to make it work?
important things to note is that I don’t have proper train wheels and I use certain technic pieces that work on the tracks, so the cars ride a little lower than regular trains would
Also, I believe that Custom Rail Vehicles was a term I created for this topic, if I’m wrong, tell me please
