    Dear AndyMan7, You answered my question about alternate wiring for the x04 motor.

    Could you confirm I have understood.

    I can remove the suppressor and any wiring attached to it, and remove the eyelet and screw.

    This means all I need is a single wire running from the pickup to the insulated spring brush which becomes the positive side. 

     

    This means when the suppressor was used it was connected off the live wire and current then ran via the suppressor to the screw into the engine block down to the plate to complete the circuit (-).

     

    Thank you in advance, I plan to complete the project tomorrow have been sidetracked and not had time. Andrew

    Thanks, yes I understand the suppressor role I just wanted to simplify the wiring. Motor was tested taken off the body with a 9V battery, works OK no stuttering or stalling Wheels are cleaned. Pickups cleaned. Does seem to be the wheels, removed the pickup and motor and still get shorting. Nothing obvious is touching the wheels from the chassis block Wheels lose? Wheel(s) wrong side - would that cause a shorting? or the little inserts between wheel and axil? Love these problems and thanks in advance for any further ideas and tips. Andrew Meyenn

    My first post on this site. I have been discussing this issue on a US Hornby site and thought I might ask the same question here. Train is Triang Queen Elizabeth, has x04 motor, which runs fine but not when on the track. Have cleaned everything and checked continuity and it seems the wiring needs to be re-done. I have read that the capacitor/suppressor is not required and there is a replacement scheme suggested, but it is a little unclear to me. Is this correct. 1. run a live wire from pickup plate to the positive brush 2. remove the capacitor and retain the eyelet and connect wire to it, fix eyelet to the screw used when capacitor attached. 3. fix the wire in (2) to the live wire The key change here is the removal of the capacitor. Trust it is clear. Comments appreciate.
