Worth a try.

Anybody got a scrap M7 maybe?

Thanks, I’ve had a look and don’t see anything obvious.

Thanks, but this isn’t the problem as the motor has exactly same problem when separated from the chassis.

I’ve pinched a motor out of one of my other M7s, but still need a replacement.

possibly, I didn't see the part number linked to the H but it would make sense.

Hi Folks, Some time back I converted an M7 to EM Gauge, it has never run smoothly at slow speed so I put it to one side and got on with other things. Anyway, today I stripped it down and it very much appears that the problem is the motor itself. With the motor separated from the chassis it stalls or doesn’t start at all. I’ve tried on both DC and DCC. It looks like the motor has not been available as a spare for some time. Does anyone know of a motor that could replace it, or does anyone have a spare? TIA Russell Davies

hi Jason, I have the book but nothing useful in it I’m afraid. Excellent, thanks.

Thanks Darius, That’ll do for me!

Hi Folks, Can anyone point me at a picture of one in Southern Region green with the lettering visible please? Thanks Russell Davies

Cannon Street looks a lot smaller https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/an-engine-being-rotated-on-a-turntable-at-cannon-street-news-photo/3139294

The right hand one shows up on the 1860 map and the left hand on a later map but look the same size. I guess it’s possible that one moved on.

I read that too, but surprised if Cannon Street had a table of that size.

Ilfracombe wasn’t unique Ex Hither Green

I don’t think these tables were ever covered over. Similar one at Hither Green, now reinstated at Robertsbridge on the RVR.
