<–has two old DVD players and a crap-load of CD burners. Going hunting.
Maybe it’s just me, but what about an Estes rocket motor in brass “Birdey” locomotive for a remotoring project. That’s what I’m talkin’ about! [}:)]

This thread interests me strangely - since I just acquired three motors by disassembling a dead printer. Haven’t decided what, if anything to do with them.
I have three of the Tsubomi 'Plantation" 0-4-0Ts in HOjn30. They have outside frames, and I had to explain (to the gentleman who manufactured them) why Americans referred to narrow gauge outside frame locos as ‘Mudhens.’ Ken Kidder never advertised that they were 1:80 scale!
And then there’s the Forney (none illustrated.) That’s a tank loco, usually 0-4-4T or 2-4-4T, with the cistern and bunker behind the cab. They were popular as motive power for elevated rapid transit lines in pre-EMU days. Looked rather like the ‘Birdie,’ but with a solid frame.

Lou, that probably would be the only thing faster than an old Athearn rubber band drive Hustler! They were faster than some slot cars back in the day. Dan
Cassete deck motor will likely have a governor on it to maintain steady playing speed.
After reading this posting I remember I put aside a DVD drive from an old computer that I had disposed of some time ago.
When I opened up the unit, I was surprised to find two small can motors,
Now to hunt up a suitable candidate .
