    basically the loco was running slow, even with rewound armature, checked the usual suspects though I will try and get photos up today or tomorrow to show the problem

    Hi everyone, hope all is good, bit of a puzzle, I have stripped down 2 ringfield class 47/9f motors due to issues with armatures and had to replace the motor bearings (s2371) however they keep coming out when i try to replace the armature, I have fitted them in the correct way though, Any thoughts on this please? Many thanks cheers Rob.

    wonder if its worth setting up rewinding etc of lima armatures

    i would like to see that mod for the Hornby hymek, thanks andyman for info I will order bogie tomorrow :) , no luck sourcing later western motor yet though

    regarding what you said about the warship motors being 26/33 etc, I had a look on ebay and the wheels look smaller or am I mistaken?, I found the extra pickups on the 47s etc lima fitted were a nuisance with running. so removed them

    tamaya extra thin cement works on them :)

    interesting, I've remotored all my westerns with the later motor, and find they run much better, i've also re-wired them as well which helps, but would like to get additional motors

    I can see where you are coming from, and its not a backward step i can assure you. my lima fleet runs perfectly due to some simple modifications thats all.

    I hope that is a joke.

    alot of organisations are having same issue mate, struggling to get volunteers.

    Hornby pls pls make motors you can service, how about reintroducing the lima pancake for the railroad models?. which will make it cheaper and give youngsters engineering experience from servicing it

    not sure tbh, but the later lower geared motors are much better runners i've found, i've remotored all my westerns bar western duke which came from new, with the later low ratio motors, and i've re-wired them and they run better, also on my lima 47s i've removed the additional pickup on the non powered bogie as found it was causing more problems with current pickup so removed it.

    on that note, with the western motors, what motors will fit them please? as trying to get additional later low geared motors for my fleet, as i prefer the later motors, The later ones are known as supertraction which tbh are better motors than the earlier high geared ones

    it is a interesting theory, my rationale is that they tend to concentrate on steam or modern image, but what about pre tops blue etc? dont we get a look in? Tbh I actually miss lima
  23. vikingsmb
    tbh not impressed with this at all far from it, Hornby need to get their act together
  24. vikingsmb
    hattons have been brilliant, and im the same the major manufacturers dont cater for pre tops blue much
  25. vikingsmb
