The whole motor torque issue is still a problem. I didn't want to have to use a system of gears but it seems like the logical choice, and solution for remedying the following: motors need less voltage because less work, less spin outs, and the trains will run slower. This is actually a good thing considering the exposure or contact to the switch lines is dramatically reduced with the present trains. Hopefully the use of three gears, 9 teeth on the motor and next gear, and the last one in the series, attached to the wheel will be 18 teeth. The 2 to 1 ratio should increase the torque dramatically compared to the 1 to 2 ratio before.
