The Black Beetle powers our GE diesel and can be used to power a wide variety of models from streetcars and small internal combustion locomotives to "critters". They use Mashima can motors and are available in different  gauges, wheelbases and wheel sizes (both disc and spoke). Wheelbases range from 25.5 mm to 40.0 mm in .25 mm increments. Wheels range from 9.6 mm to 14 mm in several different sizes and disc or spoke patterns.  Track gauges include HO/On30, On3, S and O.
