Piko Motor Blocks

[steamskip]

HI there does anyone know of the wheel sizes and dimensions of the NEW piko motor block for the mogul please.

i am thinking of using it as a base for 2-6-2s and 4-6-2s using 3d printed blocks to "flesh out" the frames and join it appropriately.



with any luck i can use the 3d printed components i already have which consist of an modular boiler system with different types of fire boxes and cylinders.

regards oliver

Jeremy, that's a different block.

'steamskip', I once measured the Mogul block. Will look tomorrow if I still have those measurements.

 

[steamskip]

ah cool thank you very much yes i understand the confusion ive caused!

I seemed to have lost those measurements, but I will take my Mogul apart tomorrow (that was planned anyway, for a DCC install), so will take new measurements for you.

Axle distance (total): 119 mm
Axle distance (front to center): 64 mm
Axle distance (center to rear): 55 mm
Wheel diameter: 44,6 mm

The plastic motor block housing seems to have the same length, width and height measurements as the other 0-6-0 motor block housing (

I tried my best to measure correctly, but the measurements can be off by +/- 1 mm...

 

[steamskip]

Oh cool thank you very much most helpfull will now produce a 3d model and build various body's around the motor block .

All done thanks for your help ladies and gentleman i can continue working this into some nice looking locomotive designs.

hmmm im planning on doing something similar at some point but it would involve extended the frame to add another pair of drivers to make a 2-8-0 because nobody makes a 1:29th scale 2-8-0 anymore
