In spite of multiple reports that the 2 vertical motor drives are performing
very well, I will always prefer 1 motor and driveshafts. No 2 motors will
ever be perfectly synchronized. Since they are/will be coming RTR with DCC
that lessons my concerns for wiring it though.

 

I have 6 or so mid 90s Overland/RRM diesels that came with 2 small HO motors
not coupled together. I will swap that set up out for 1 center motor and
driveshafts. If the motors were tied together I might not be as motivated to
change it.

 

The one possible plus about the 2 motor drive would on an articulated, if 1
drive could slip momentarily and have the sound unit pick up on the slip.
That would be interesting! Like it or not I have no choice. That is the way
it seems new locos are heading with 2 motors.

 

Thank You,
