Diesel live steam 4 3/4 gage

This is something I started over the summer. It will be running on 4 ¾ gage track and be 1. Scale. I had the idea for it for a few years now and thought I would put it out there for all to see. Ive seen two others out there that are using a gas engine to turn a generator for power but havent seen any one that is using an ESC also to run on battery power. The motors and sprockets are from http://www.electricscooterparts.com/

The motors are 350w 2600rpm

I tested one unit at the track and on the GPS I hit 13.6 mpr. That was on full power 24 volts. It may not sound fast but running on 4 ¾ gage track it was scary fast.

Great progress!

Are you still planning a military railyard diesel outline for it?
