benblack5 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Hello all, In doing some maintenance/ detailing work to a friends ancient kit built loco, it has become apparent that one of the carbon brushs for the motor has at some point broken. We have no idea of the origin of the motor or how to go about sourcing a replacement brush. Any advise / recommendations / identification would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone!

jamieb Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It's a D11 motor, you may be able to use a short length of pencil lead as a brush,very unlikely you'll be able to source any spare parts,the motor is probably near 40 years old Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly sold under the Anchorage brand but I have seen some labelled as Mashima They can be quite good providing the correct ratio is chosen and they are meshed correctly The D11 (smaller than the D13) The larger D13 Both together If anyone thinks I have muddled things please correct any errors Edited February 5, 2022 by hayfield 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I have used a piece of pencil lead in an old K's motor to prove that it worked but I don't know how long it would last in service. It was from the compasses of an old drawing set. A friend has used a Graham Farish brush in an old motor and these are available from B R Lines. Go to the bottom of the page on this link. If you contact them they might be able to give you some dimensions. https://www.farishnspares.co.uk/graham-farish.html?page=2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
