Any traction Motor can be re-geared as the pinion gears are pressed on to
the shaft and the main gear on to the wheel set. The traction Motor complete
with gear is then hung off the axle and placed as a unit into the bogie.This
combination of gearing can be altered within the parts available from Clyde
to alter any loco gear ratios.
I believe the N class received a minor adjustment to improve there on time
running soon after entering service.
