The aim is to take agepbiz's great G-gauge Thomas model, and motorise it.

This is a work in progress, and requires a lot of internal mods that have yet to be finalised.
The model will be remote control, battery operated.
OK, I have a fully functional mechanism for a G-gauge Thomas :-)
Had to do a lot of tinkering to the original design to fit the motor in.
Chassis is a modification of the tram chassis used in https://www.thingiverse.com, /thing:3097453 and uses the motor as linked to in the comments use 640rpm. (assuming the link still works, if not contact me)
It added several different ways of doing the wheels, I was able to print the rims in silver and the center in Thomas blue. To get around corners, you need to use a rimless mid wheel.
When I have time, I'll add a full write up of the construction :-)
Edit 6th April 2024
rebuild of main mech frame..
Centre wheel needs no flange for going around corners
Main drive gears needed a resize and some centre support
