I hope this is the right newsgroup for model railroading concerns.  I'm
interested in anyone's experience about improving the performance of HO
locos.  I am considering regearing the power drive for a higher ratio (around
30:1 or so) and before investing in gear kits i'd love to hear from others
who have done this.  Also, are there other things that should be done to the
loco to improve performance?  I know a little about lubeing them and adjusting
any linkages or other moving parts so there is no bind.  Has anyone replaced
the stock motors with better ones?  What do people think of flywheels?
