This an Awesome Modified Plarail. This fellow must have some engineering experience to design this combined motors let alone the artistic experience in the design and construction of the model. Just awesome work. What do you all think?

Well I struggled to understand what was going on there, even with frequent stops and re-winds. I will need to watch it again when I have some peace & quiet.

Exactly what I thought Dr Chris, that is why I had to guess this guy has to have had some type of engineering education as this is genius to come up with this idea and implementation in a normal mind. Besides his motor configuration skills, his artistic design of the train itself is outstanding.
Now that's clever; I'm familiar with the motor he used, that's one of the Tamiya Mini4WD model car motors, a type I actually reccomend for modding or replacing Plarail motors if you want higher speeds than a stock motor can provide, as they are built for speed but also match the dimensions of the standard electric motor used in Plarail stock [and F-P Trackmaster, if you think any of those need speed mods...]

This however is next-level, using the twin-axle motor and a modded gearbox for 4-wheel drive on a Plarail loco, that's absolutely superb Big Grin
Been building Plarail worlds since 2001; Building when I can in 2023 Cool
