Notes:

This is a light Mikado. Overland produced extra gearboxes about 6 months after these engines came out as some modelers found the original gearboxes caused the engine to run too fast. There was nothing wrong mechanically with the original gearbox; the new ones just had different gearing in them.

A secondhand, incomplete project, but it nonetheless shows the various components that this model was made of.

Jace Kahn wound up with two of these engines, both secondhand. After disassembly, to figure out running issues, he noticed the two had very different drive systems. Is one of these the original drive and the other one which had the Overland replacement gearbox installed. His question was, which is which, but the Groups.io discussion never really yielded a final decision.

As you can see, both of them appear to have the genuine Ajin name on them. The top, unpainted one, seems to be original gearbox, per consensus.
