DK123GWR Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Please could somebody help to identify this ringfield motor? It came in a joblot with some spares for a Jinty (I also have the bodywork of the bogie and the trailing bogie if that would help). Thanks in advance.

irishmail Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Looks like it may be a Lima one. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman7 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 It's a teeny pair of images but agreed that it looks like a Lima six wheel motor bogie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted September 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hard to see from the pictures but maybe the compact six wheel one from a deltic or a 50 with the HO bogies. Could also be from a foreign loco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK123GWR Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks for the info. I suspected Lima as it seemed to share a few features with my 47, but it didn't quite look the same (although I don't have the 47 available for a direct comparison. Looking at the trailing bogie (which has the frames fitted) it only reaches the buffer of the rolling stock I have compared it too (when aligned with the oposite edge) so the class 55/50 suggestion seems very plausible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsmb Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 deffo a lima one, looks like the earlier type with larger gearing (faster) but fully serviceable , I prefer the smaller geared one ,slower and more powerful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
