Hi just need some advice ☺ I have a later Hornby eurostar with a dead motor my local shop has several eurostars like it too . I have found can motors exact same company name on but don't have the shaft coming out both end's of the motor. Does anyone know of a good conversion for these? I brought it second hand so don't really want to use the original tpye of motor as they seem to be a problem and im up for doing a conversion if it means reliabilaty ! Thank's mark ☺

Exactley the same as me family when i was growing up brought me a random mix of locos and coaches for christmas an birthdays. I got back unto the hobby 2 years ago and thought what can i do with this lot! Nene valley is my local preserved line too been there lot's

Well that phone call was a waste of time about getting my class 56 fixed under warranty! Im very disapointed with how i just got spoke to after spending £130 on a model with 37 minutes running i would think i should last longer than that!

Thank's for the info I sent Dapol a email about it so hopefully hear something from them after christmas break. I had it running last night all light's stopped working then going one way have come back on and are still working now :s I have Seen on Dapol own site an google with some Dapol loco's dry solder joint's is fairly common :/ .Iv'e been after a n gauge 56 for age's an saved for age's after more important bill's im a bit diapointed as it run's so well compared to even my farish class 66 an 170 . I actually think it is as detailed if not more than my oo gauge 56's ! I have had no luck with my recent n gauge purchase's hopefully something simple Dapol can fix for me after all this bad luck ! Thank's mark
