miniature train EV project Hello everyone,Looking for advice and maybe several

next part --------------These are 12? gauge locos, approx 8? long, 26? wide
and weigh around 1000# fully equipped with power train, trucks (frames that
hold axles and wheels). Traditionally these locos were powered with 4 cylinder
gas motors and small reduction gears connected with shafts to each truck, and
could pull 4-5 passenger cars with a total weight of around 6,000-8,000 pounds,
at a max speed of 10 MPH.I would like to replace the gas engine with one or
two, used, 5 Kw smallish 24volt, series wound forklift motors. One per
truck.However, so far, haven?t been able to determine what the amp hour draw
might be for these size motors, or what kind of battery pack would allow 6-8
hours operation.Anybody have any experience with these size motors?Or
alternatively, any suggestions as to what might be a reasonable, DYI
conversion?Thanks much, for any information, or ideas, you might be able to
offer.Regards,Glenn B.Sent from my
