Tips For Buying A Model Railway Locomotive

Check out the wheels. If the wheels are not connected to a gear, then the locomotive wheels will move easily when you push them with your finger. If the locomotive wheels move just a little and then go stiff, they�re connected to a gear. That�s a good sign. If the locomotive is slow to start, then consider buying something a bit better. A good locomotive is worth the investment!

The locomotive motor is also important and needs to be of good quality, to turn smoothly, using the least amount of electricity.

Model Railway Locomotive Weight


The weight of a locomotive is crucial to ensure that the wheels connect with the tracks. This is achieved through solid metal frames.

Model Railway Locomotive Flywheels

The flywheels on the locomtive are another important feature. Flywheels are solid-metal cylinders mounted in line with the motor. Flywheels at one or both ends of the locomotive motor ensure a smooth take-off by slowing down the initial rotation of the motor. Flywheels help achieve a smoother stop when the electricity is turned off. They also help the locomotive operate more smoothly and negotiate dirty track better.
