Mehano/RSO 2-8-2 Mikado #9353 "The George Washington"...


A growing air of normalcy is slowly settling in as I pull out a remotoring project purchased before the move.  The motor was toast, giving me the perfect opportunity to shoehorn this massive German coreless motor that's been sitting around, waiting for a job to do.  It outweighs the original motor by at least twice the original's weight.  The torque of the motor is high enough that it will likely blow apart the gear box before it even heats up under load...sweet.
