The original drive is via a vertical multi-stage gear train, and then via Jackshafts to each bogie - it makes the most dreadful grinding noise, amplified by the bodyshell - much better to do as Reinhard has done and use a GE 44-tonner chassis, or as I did, by fitting a modified Bachmann Underground Ernie chassis.
