Well guys, I think I found a chain and sprocket combination that would work. My question is, should I also play with the gearing? I don't think I have a lot of extra space in the trucks, but I do in the body of the Boxcab.
Currently, the ratio of the pulley system is 1:1, but would it be better to install a bigger sprocket? This might increase the speed a bit, but i'm not clear how fast this thing can actually run on as it is, since it can barely propel itself.
I figure if I'm going to modify this engine, I might as well do it right. these parts are MUCH cheaper than any other option and seem to require the least amount of work.
This is nearly identical to the drive in my T3, except its one motor with double shafts. I would question whether or not it would work, but we'll see.

The last idea is inserted into drawing - I replaced the single rubber rings by a double ring drive. And I'm sure that it should work!
Unfortunately my construction is yet a plan and so I can not show you practical results.
