Reply to ""O" gauge trains and LEGO"

Personally, I don't like tender driven locomotives; it's much cooler if you can power the drive wheels. I can imagine a couple ways it can be done. The largest issue would be bending the drive train 90 degrees - this is usually done with bevel gears, but there wouldn't be room for bevel gears if standard technic beams are used. But... A worm gear might be feasible. You would have to gear up the connection between the motor and worm gear, though, in order for it to not be incredibly slow.
