Our Reversing Gearboxes for model steam boats use well proven proprietary very heavy duty gearboxes.
They are built into our special machined brass housing with a phosphor bronze main bearing
They are suitable for any model marine or stationary steam engine.
The photograph on the left shows the Gearbox with universal joints fitted - these are an optional extra.
Dimensions:
Length: 3 1/2 inches (89mm)
Width: 1 3/4 inches (43mm)
Height 2 3/8 inches (60mm)
The main benefits of this type of reversing gearbox are:
They are compact high quality units that transmit power smoothly.
Low friction - almost a direct drive to the propeller when in forward gear.
No unreliable reversing valve gear required on your steam engine.
The gearbox has a "Neutral" position
The Reversing Gearbox unit can be simply fitted to any miniature steam engine.
Full spare parts supplies are available - even in the unlikely event that you will ever need any.
Standard radio control or a manual lever can be fitted for remote operation of the reversing mechanism.
This a photograph of an early geared version of the gearbox fitted into a steam launch - the latest version of the gearbox is direct drive.
