if you look at the pic of the drawing draft layout I have the teeth number written on the coloured gears.
Ah yes, thanks. So that is 50:16 x 40:16 x 40:30 so just over 10:1.

Plod did his best with what gears he could purchase and the vertical space constraints in the Garratt bogie.
It will be interesting to see how it all works out.

It spins. Actually both of them spin. One gear to pinion join combo has a wee detectable wobble but of no consequence Nothing is yet fixed or pinned. Cover plates are next. Click the pic and it will take you to an eight second video.
