i use gaugemaster or hob e lube lite oil, works for me, also use their gear lube

you have just answered my question, no screamer but bush is loose thanks for that :) i got a remagnestiser anyway

basically the loco was running slow, even with rewound armature, checked the usual suspects though I will try and get photos up today or tomorrow to show the problem

thanks mate for tip :)

i've noticed you cannot get couplings for love nor money for the split chassis 04, tried everywhere

Hi everyone, hope all is good, bit of a puzzle, I have stripped down 2 ringfield class 47/9f motors due to issues with armatures and had to replace the motor bearings (s2371) however they keep coming out when i try to replace the armature, I have fitted them in the correct way though, Any thoughts on this please? Many thanks cheers Rob.

why? serviced they are actually decent runners, no need for cd motor

Hi brian (its rob ingram from the railways in south wales facebook group) :)

just needs a service thats all, no need to use cd motor

it was a post on this forum, I will have to dig it out when i get five, I'am a customer at the end of the day.

wonder if its worth setting up rewinding etc of lima armatures

i would like to see that mod for the Hornby hymek, thanks andyman for info I will order bogie tomorrow :) , no luck sourcing later western motor yet though

regarding what you said about the warship motors being 26/33 etc, I had a look on ebay and the wheels look smaller or am I mistaken?, I found the extra pickups on the 47s etc lima fitted were a nuisance with running. so removed them

tamaya extra thin cement works on them :)

interesting, I've remotored all my westerns with the later motor, and find they run much better, i've also re-wired them as well which helps, but would like to get additional motors
