Jim,
I have heard a O scale Big Boy with double PFM setups, sounded great
when starting but at speed it became just noise. However, with the more
modern sound decoders, the adjustments can certainly help in that regard.
A local modeler who has since past on, had reportedly put two drive
shafts from a single motor. One shaft was contained within the other.
Obviously the smaller or inside shaft continued to the front set of
drivers. I don't know if it was a great success or not, but he was darn
good at things like that.
