Great to see company's making updated parts to keep old locomotives going.

I think Hornby are missing a trick here. If they produced something similar it would encourage people into the hobby by making older, cheaper locos more viable. They may think it would deter people from buying new locos but I don't think it would. It would maybe actually increase sales of new models.

Marvellous demonstration of soldering , steady hand and a touch like a midwife . Something I'll have to get my cogs into 🙄👍🇬🇧

Hi all. Thank you for the interest and, Bill, thank you for the brilliant video. Some very good and constructive comments which I have used to make some improvements to the design. These are now back in stock for those that were waiting. Thank you.

Like others say, it looks a useful bit of kit to fall back on if needed. Might need to save up a bit though beforehand! Thank you for the very good video about it, I assume they come with some instructions.

Its a great idea but the price is going to have to come down before I buy one. Its great your feed back was helpful in its development.

🎉 just an update on these old motors should in breathe live into many old models. Great stuff. Did I miss the price here? Below a tenner and I could be forced with buying a load in bulk. That runs so well !

I would use that method, but using screw links means I couldn't use the bodies cause any cut goes wrong and the whole body splits

Slightly off topic, but are you still using the Morley Controller in the videos that you reviewed a while back ? I’m considering getting one.

Does the flywheel help with realistic acceleration or just slowing down?
@beeble2003
Жыл бұрын
Neither, really. It makes the motor want to run at constant speed, so it'll resist both acceleration and deceleration. The main point is to make the motor run more smoothly, for example when there are brief inerruptions to power.

Would you say the locos run quieter? is there an x03 replacement
@oobill
Жыл бұрын
They certainly run quieter yes. It should fit an X03 but you would need to find a L5662 worm gear. Or fit a X04 drive gear to the loco which means removing the wheels etc.

It seems like eBay UK and eBay Australia don't like talking to each other. I can't raise the seller in my eBay and besides he seems to be out of stock for those motors. Which is a great pity as I think it is a great idea to replace all of my x03 and X04 motors with them. I just find it so fiddly trying to work on the original Triang Hornby motors.

I was a bit worried when I saw you testing on your temporary loop, at high speed. I had a 2 mishaps doing that, (always twice before I learn), with locos and coaches on the floor!!!! Hope that hasn't happened to you.
@oobill

With the original worms I never got the locos to full speed as I knew they would fly. With the single start worms I just slowly increased speed to max. Once I knew max speed was safe then I was happy to whack it up on the loop for the video.

looked at his video and probably useful for dcc conversion but 35 pounds per motor and its not viable for me.

I converted one to dcc in my video, it was so easy. The motor terminals are easy to solder too.
