Motor type

[ebtnut]

Somewhere I have a very small motor squirelled away that might be those same dimentions, but it is only 3 volts.  YM, is yours 12 volts?

[Bucksco]

Yes - 12 volt DC

An aside -

NEVER place a locomotive equipped with a coreless type motor on DCC powered track without the motor connected to a DCC decoder.

Diameter is actually 7.0mm - sorry about the typo.

Wow! That's even better than 10mm. That will easily fit in the trucks of some old interurbans I've had kicking around for a long time waiting on new motors. Now I'll be able to get rid of the "boxes" that covered the originals and put seats in.

And you know this...because?...

That's OK-I've done my share as well.

I know this because ... Not what you surmise.

I know the DCC waveform, the design of a coreless motor and the effect AC type waveform will  have on a coreless motor. Thus -- No,  I have not destroyed a coreless motor trying to run it without a DCC decoder attached using DCC. However,  I have read the results of those who have.

I would suggest people Google, coreless motors with dcc
There are issues. I did this some time ago but rather not post the links here.
No doubt, you will find results from those who have run coreless motors.

There are no issues running Bachmann locos with coreless motors.
