An adapter for a popular motor

Updated: Mar 18, 2025


To make it easier for you to find the correct parts to make your models completely interactive, we have created a motor adapter for one of the most common electronic DC motors that can be found.




You have probably seen the 3-6V DC motors with yellow gearbox before.

Please note: We still recommend using the full metal motor and gearbox that we suggest in our manuals for it is far more robust and powerful. However, with this adapter, we want to make it easier than ever to make your model locomotives fully interactive on a budget.
