The Meerkat Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 i got royal sovereign class 67 and it makes a racket of a squeal, but i think it is a case of sending it back to Hornby and letting them have ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a tiny drop of oil carefully applied to the motor bearings works wonders. If it is the gears, then a drop of oil can be applied to a visible gear and allowed to work its way round the rest of the gears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Decorum Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Without taking my 67 apart (it’s not the latest example, so might not be a good guide) I can’t say. However, with the body off, I’d guess that an oiler with a long application needle, such as offered by Woodland Scenics, should be able to reach a gear somewhere. Sorry not to be more helpful.

Well, if you have oiled the motor bearings and oiled where you could elsewhere, perhaps it is a job for Hornby. Please let us know how you get on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 10 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 10 (edited) To remove a bogie, you have to gently prise off the cap on top of the gear tower. There is also the option of removing the keeper plate/bogie moulding from underneath Edited January 10 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Meerkat if I understand what you’re describing I would say it’s a bit of a Hornby feature that has affected several of my Class 60s and 56s after a few years. I’ve found the solution in each case is a tiny drop of oil onto the top of the gear tower where the shaft from the motor enters, and same on other side. I’ve only ever had to treat any of my models once so far - not had an affected 67 yet though. Sounds like a screeching noise coming from within the loco?
