Same, about time someone did a power bogie! I love the idea of the roof jig, and the new gearbox and motor looks much better designed too.

Looks good- how frictionless is a wood bearing or do they set brass bearings?

If Pete is well mannered enough to sensor it then that is fantastic. Just because you don't mind it doesn't mean that others won't.

Motor bogie + 2x Atlantic observation coach = DMU?
Or perhaps Ivan is working on that already.

Oooh as Will said, very cool! I already have the Obs coach to build, but that sounds even better!

Could be an interesting project for someone; may try it myself once the next loco has been bought. (Still saving for that one - need to prioritise.)
