Motor

How it works

• It is a powered gear. It turns steadily by itself and drives every gear that meshes with it.
• It is strong, so ordinary loads do not slow it.
• Flip it to reverse its direction.
• Give it a colour and it runs only when that colour's power is on. Switched off, it does not brake, so its gears coast on until something stops them.

Tips

• A switched-off motor train keeps spinning for a while. Block it if you need it to stop.
• Big gears turn slower and small gears turn faster, even on the same motor.
