Hi all
Fareham club needs to motorise one of these for use on our kids "drive it yourself" layout.
It will be the second one we have done, the first one had a motor in the base and transferred the drive to the sails via a rubber band, but it was very erratic in operation and the blades did not spin at a constant rate. It looked so obviously "wrong" on the layout that we took it off to find a better solution. However, now no one can remember who has it and everyone denies having it at home so I have bought a new kit and intend to build it with a proper mechanism.
Has anyone done this successfully? what did you use?
Grateful for any steers before we break the new one out of its packet and start to assemble it.
