Hornby 373 Motor replacement

[WayneKennerley]

Hi All, where might I be able to get a replacement can motor with twin worm drive for a Hornby 373 chassis please. I picked one up recently for a project but I cannot get the motor to run well. It pretty much does not start turning when power is applied, even full power - it will sometimes run after a push. I took off the wheels and it ran slightly better, still needing a push on the worm drive to make it start up. On one of my controllers it ran full speed for a few seconds, then about half speed returned to full speed etc etc. I am hoping I can just replace the can motor to get it running again. I have had a look at Peters Spares, they can supply a whole bogie but I am trying to get just the can motor and worm drives

 

Many thanks Wayne
