Talking to Julian and Susan
what a friendly couple, at Railwells last weekend. They are Taff Vale models. Something caught my eye, some very small motor and gearboxes.
The motor/gearbox and shaft have a total length of 35mm. The motor and gearbox are 10mm x 12mm square, shaft length is 10mm with a 3mm diameter shaft. The gearbox is 150:1 so is extremely slow but linked to a suitable worm drive and gear wheel could be made to run faster or even slower.
I thought they might be ideal for operating doors, gates etc or probably ideal for a turntable.
I have know relation to them but thought were really good so check them out.

I was intrigued and at £6.00 bought a couple for a future project

Pretty great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and
wanted to mention that I've truly enjoyed surfing around your weblog posts.
After all I will be subscribing in your rss feed and I hope you write once more
very soon!
Thank you for taking the time to look. There will be lots more posts in the future and as I have just started building Exton Quay's there will be various updates on the project, so, keep watching.
