Would anybody have a drawing for a tumbler type reverse gearbox that would be of use in a petrol locomotive? I have tried a google search and it has given me very little, Cheers, Mike

Try a search on the internal combustion boy web site,
sorry can't remember the exact address, but it should
be easy enough to find.
good luck

Hi Mike, If you wish to go the other route and purchase one, a good tumbler gearbox can be found inside the leg* of a marine outboard motor. It has forward, reverse and neutral. Quite a few people in my club use these in their locos. Andrew * not sure if that's the correct word. The part that sticks into the water  |

* not sure if that's the correct word. The part that sticks into the water As a boatie as well..that the right word  You can get bits from scrapped outboards for next to nothing, or buy a dead one..very cheap, but the F-N-R is likely to be ok. As another source, whats on the headstock end of your lathe? There is usually a tumbler reverse on a traditional BGSC lathe. Spare gears and carriers for that, plus a fabricated frame??
