| Each motor is supplied with a 'standard' dropper resistor which is 2.4mm diameter x 6mm long, remember to allow some lead length to each end for connecting the wires. |
| 6 volt rated 6mm x 12mm Micro Motor with dropper resistor (runs on 12Vdc) |
| You may be thinking 'why not a 12V micro motor?'. Just in case you don't think I have considered this lets just say that it took a couple of years to get to 6V and the evidence is pretty clear that a 12V motor this size is more or less impossible from a technical standpoint. Its all to do with how many turns of wire you need and how thin the wire needs to be as a result! |
| Note this drawing is around 2.5 times bigger than actual size. |

| Here are some pictures of a Marklin Z scale loco (8805) which I have re-motored with one of the 6V micro motors. It runs extremely smoothly! A suitable shaft 1mm adapter and resistor are now available. |

| This is a 6mm diameter x 12mm long 3 pole coreless DC motor nominally rated at 6V but suitable for running at voltages up to 12V DC with the resistor provided. It may be used as a drive motor from Z, Nn3 etc through 009/HOe/HOn30 and even in some HO/OO applications. |
| Click here for SMT resistor instructions. A 'surface mount' resistor with mounting pad is available seperately if needed, The SMT resistor is about 3.6mm x 2mm x 1.5mm on its mounting pad and the connection area is within this. |
| Precision turned brass shaft adapters are available to convert the 0.8mm shaft to 1mm or 1.5mm This motor is used in my O&K Montania Loco |
