You could try dipping the motor in methylated spit and letting it dry off.

I did this to my Bachmann Standard 4MT tank and it ran great after.

I’ve changed the discs round on mine without problems, IIRC They are etched with 2 very thin legs slotted into holes. I swapped positions of an open and a closed  and slotted them back into place

 

I think I used a scalpel blade to gently prize them out

Thanks for that. 
I’ll have a go at the weekend.

Well I’ve just received class 24 no 5099 and I have to say it’s wonderful!

I’m very impressed both with the level of detail, the sounds and the running. 
One tiny thing I wish they’d left the head code discs off as I’m worried about coursing damage to the paint work when I change them.

I recently had a go at a wee conversion to a Scottish region 24.

Looking at the above posts I could have done a better job of the headcodes

Hi Mr B

Great work on your conversion!  out of interest where did get the window frames over the tablet catcher? 

as I plan to do a couple of Scottish class 24/1 for my upcoming layout.

Thanks Dave:)

That looks realy nice!

Well I got one in the sale as an early Christmas present!  And I must say when I ran her on my test track she ran faultlessly.

I'm very impressed with the running and the level of detail. 

I only operate on DC.  

My layout is in a 8x6 unheated shed so all my locos, coaches & wagons get to come in the house at the end of the day.

Thanks for making me feel welcome!
