The one on the left has the motors installed. The one on the right has yet to be installed.

Here is a project I started, using RADIO SHACKS ZIP ZAP motors. They measure 1/4x5/8 inches, and turn at 10,000 at 3 volts dc.

WIND GENERATOR, RPM Tom F Thanks for the information, believe I will live with the 30 RPM I able to run at. I now have a small fortune in them now, and need not spend more. Thanks again.

WIND GENERATOR, RPM VIEW WITHOUT COVER.

WIND GENERATOR, RPM MIKE Im sure you are correct as to the rpm. As you will see, no room for gears, already had to make the housing 3/16" higher to fit the motor. Im not saying I will give up, but until I find a better way, I'll have to live with what I have

WIND GENERATOR RPM Yesterday I recieved a slow speed motor from ATLAS, After a short brake-in time, I have it turning at 30 RPM. THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH.:) :) :)

CBnQ Thanks for the info. I can't seem to be able to get the motors to run that slow without stalling. I am using a ATLAS loco motor at 1-2 volts and can only get 58 to 60 rpm min. If any of you electronic minded members have any ideas as to how I can slow these motors, Im all ears.:) :D

Gavin, Are you getting e-mail from the gauge when someone replys to your post. I am getting e-mail from the gauge when someone replys to your post and don't know why, not that I mind, it save time looking it up, I just don't understand why.

Gavin, After seeing your latest photos I'm convinced my first impression is correct. Your layout is great. Everything looks so authenic. Looks like the real thing. What kind of camera do you use? I have a digital but have been getting better depth by using my 35mm and setting the aperture at f 32.

cars David, Thanks for the idea with the car trunk. My wife's the detail person and I'm the builder so I'll see if she can figure out how to do it, great idea, she says she did that once when she was a teen. While laughing about this told her how I got caught once too. Brings back memories!

Airport I want this area to be a small private airport, but can't find planes even close to scale. If anyone knows of some, please let me know.
