Flat Can Motor, Style 2430, 12v

Put three of these in a boxcar upgrade project and each one runs noticeably smoother than the stock motor ever did. The 12v rating is perfect for my DCC setup, and the flat can shape made installation straightforward.

My old locomotive crawled and stuttered on every curve, but after dropping this 12v flat can motor in, it glides through switches without a hiccup. The permag design really delivers consistent torque at low speeds. Wish I'd bought the three-pack with the volume discount right off the bat.

Replacing the stock motor took about ten minutes since the mounting holes line up perfectly. It spins smooth and quiet at 12v, and the volume discount makes it easy to justify buying a few spares for future projects.
