Petrol generator set developing 12Volt for model locomotive. New from Maxitrak designed to slot right into the standard Ruston 2 or any other loco for that matter!
no it click over relays at the right time as well as reeving the engine up, and it is quite critical it is set up right or as the alternator loads up you can stall the engine!
No there are all sort of electrical things going on inside it alternator so it's none standard. The battery is for all the accessories the engine doesn't need it to work. It works as a 12v DC generator!
@maxitrak why not just have centrifugal clutch powering generator to avoid electronics. Also u could switch between series and parralel with more than one motor to vary speeds like the real things, maybe even field diverts?
Very nice! I have just got a 1940's 12V dynamo today to run with one of my stationary engines. How many amps does this put out,mines 30. I will hopefully film it tomorow.
Very nice! I have just recieved a 3.5hp Briggs and Stratton Petrol engine and hydraulic transmission, which will be going into a Loco at some point.However if the hydraulics don't work ot, then I may go for a 24v alternator a friend has offered me, and this will power an electric motor simallar to the one here, but a 24v one. How many amps does the generator put out at 12v?

Nice project, much better way than a nasty clutch.

Could I put the same system just on a bigger engine that the 2.8 horse Honda you guys use?

What did you use to connect the motor to the alternator?
Won't the wire connected to the loco from the alternator be a hindrance
could this make the electric motor transmit stronger force than a mechanical connection?or it's weaker than a directional piston transmission?
that's a big generator for a little 12v system.. not thought of just using a battery or even hooking it up to your car's battery?
how many amps does this sucker kick out? looks good and nice workshop :-)
What is the lever doing? Just accelerating the gazoline engine?
Do you know were to get the train tracks from to buy them
Is this something thats for sale from your website?
Hi, What have you used for your direct drive? cheers
where do you buy these? can't find them on maxitracks site
the set is £500-00
I am sure that you will find good way to make it on Inplix Webpage.
