Hornby TT 120 A3 motor end cap conversion.
This has turned out quite well but not as good as the A4 I did last week.
The brushes do touch each other when the end cap is released, so I tried to ease the tension, which resulted in one brush being bent. I managed to get it reasonably straight but think it is rubbing on the commutator end disc sheet.
This is probably the reason that I had to increase the speed from setting 25 to 40 on the controller.
Still, I hope to get more hours from the motor now than I would have with the wipers.

Hornby TT 120 weathered A4 and non standard Hornby open wagons
Переглядів 207День тому
While buying some wagons at KJB models I noticed they had a second hand A4 that had been weathered. It looked nice although it was DCC but as soon as I got home I swapped the chip for a blanking plug and she runs fine. She certainly looks good in this condition and I may think about the odd one or two of mine. I had gone to KJB models to buy the last 5 Hornby 7 plank open wagons they had. These...

My EE type 4 is coming along nicely and is pulling some coaches for the first time. I think one of the motor bogies is sticking a little so needs looking at. She also needs some weight adding as she is very light but I am pleased so far.

Hornby TT 120 motor end cap swapped from wipers to brushes
Переглядів 65214 днів тому
The Hornby TT 120 motors are fitted with metal wipers on the commutator, and these are wearing out after about 30 hours or so. Therefore I have decided to attempt to fit an end cap with brushes onto the Hornby motor. I could not locate any 12v motors with brushes so had to get low voltage ones to use the end cap assembly. It was not the easiest thing to do but seems to have worked reasonably we...
TT 120 retesting the Farish 08

Someone said the diecast Farish body was helping the 08 pull the coaches last night so just to show the Farish 08 power without the die cast body I have redone the test. Initially due to no body weight, the chassis was only on the rear wheels due to the coupling height pulling it down and still pulled 11 coaches. Then, I fitted magnet couplings allowing the loco chassis to sit on the rail corre...

TT 120 experimental Farish chassis
Переглядів 261Місяць тому
This is an experiment of regauging a Farish N gauge chassis to 12mm. All that was done was to replace the axles with 1/16" brass wire and open the pick ups out a little. There is no way it is supposed to be a Jinty chassis as the wheelbase is obviously completely wrong, I just wanted to see if it was possible for a future project, which I think could work.

30 hours of motor life isn’t all that great. Why can’t Hornby fit some motors with decent brushes?
@@sullivanrachael you tell me?
@sullivanrachael Hornby do know of the issue and are looking at using a carbon brushed motor in their J50 later this year. It is possible they were mis informed by the motor supplier over the longevity of these motors.
Nice, hope it wears in soon. Those 'new' wagons look great.
@@timallen_uk thanks Tim, most of those new wagons want a touch of paint, a couple I may keep the names on.
Give it a while to run in Garry, the carbon brushes will start to take the wear shape of the commutator and running should become more free.
@HighFell that is what I am hoping for Matt..
Looking Good! Thanks for popping in, see you again soon 😊
@kjbmodels89 hope so. The A4 runs really well as soon as I changed it to analogue, thank you.
Good stuff. Silky smooth running
@gregmacdonald927 thanks Greg.
Nice work as usual Garry 😁👍
@@HighFell thanks Matt
Hornby is TT:120 is so amazing. Such a shame Accurascale didn’t continue with this because of Hornby 💀 I mean they could’ve just…announced other model but oh well. Guess I’m never getting a Stirling Single
@jxxgames I think you mean Heljan? It was not really due to Hornby it was Heljans own childish attitude using Hornby as an excuse. If they had been serious about it theirs would have been out 8 months ago last year. They used it to just knock Hornby.
Heljan not Accurascale, and they never actually spent more than 15 mins on dropping TT:120 couplings onto a OO 3D image and put it out to get reaction. Heljan were lazy.
Ihr habt so schöne TT - Modelle, ich glaub ich zieh um... :-) Aber ich bin "nur" Fensterputzer - wird sich nicht lohnen :-(
@onkelmichl3300 thank you (Danke)
That train looks like mavis
Runs well Garry. I do like a small shunter
@gregmacdonald927 thanks Greg, I needed the match truck to keep the rear buffer beam intact otherwise it may have looked silly cut away. One day I would like to fit pick ups to the match trucks too.
Danke für's Zeigen. Gruß aus Thüringen.
@@onkelmichl3300 hopefully not too long before it is running with the body on. The body is nearly finished just requiring the wash stripes and numbers now.
Good stuff Garry. Great to hear you explaining the process
@PeachyTT120 thanks Chris. I hate talking but Nevaeh won't do it as she has a plate in and sounds different. There was a little more to it than just remove and replace though. Hopefully next time it will be easier and quicker.
@@garryhall5552 personally I find you chipping in takes the video up a notch, keep it up I say 👍
is that a silver king two rail
? This is TT 120 which is only 2-rail. In Dublo (and TT 120) Silver King only had a single chimney. This is a double and was William Whitelaw from the Easterner set.
Well done on that Garry, seems to run smoothly and hopefully swap from BE brushes to Carbon ones gets some extended life!
@HighFell thanks Matt. Hopefully as you say, I will get an extended life from the motor. I will certainly be looking at trying to reduce the brush pressure next time. Look forward to seeing your video later to see how you manage with the swap and possibly have an easier assembly method than mine.
Not great, 30 hours and broke isnt great but eh. Good too see someone else have a got at rectifying this issue.
@class_31clag It is possible Hornby were misled by the motor manufacturer as they said they should at least last 100 hours. They are aware of the issue which is why they are looking at a motor with brushes to fit in the J50
Hi Garry. Have you upgraded your camera? The video quality seems really good here. Well done on the swap
@gregmacdonald927 hi Greg, I did get a new phone recently but the last 6 or 7 videos were with it too. This is the first video I have actually joined different clips together but that was through software downloaded. It was certainly not the easiest job swapping the motor e d cap over as this one was slightly thicker and needed some plastic removing to fit into the chassis. I certainly will not be in a rush to do others but just wait until they die on me.
Ich finde diese Waggons ganz hervorragend.
@onkelmichl3300 yes, just a pity the Peco couplings are not as flexible as the Hornby ones.
Die kleinen Maschinen hüpfen genauso wie auf meiner Anlage :)
Zum Verlieben diese Maschine.
Ich wußte gar nciht, dass es so schöne TT - Modelle gibt. Danke für'S Zeigen. Gruß aus Thüringen und selbstverständlich ABO.
@onkelmichl3300 thank you, a lot of my locos are made using 3d printed bodies on Hornby chassis's or use Halling motor bogies.
Great to see some Southern rolling stock Garry, very impressive. Are these 3D printed bodies?
@edhiggins4346 the unrebuilt loco with tender, and, the tender for the rebuilt loco are 3D prints from Shapeways. The rebuilt loco body is a heavily modified Corgi Britannia. I do also have a Q1 and USA dock tank which are Shapeways 3D prints. My Lord Nelson is a 3D print but from Lincoln-Locos.
Are there any DEMU’s like class 201’s in tt120.
@T4Van-E-daycamp not that I know of. At one one time SR bodies of various classes were available from Shapeways but since they ceased a couple of months ago no idea where you can get any.
More great work Garry 😁
@HighFell thanks Matt. That is it for now a warmer climate is calling.
Bravo! I've lost count of the number of N Gauge experts who have told me this cannot be done.
@user-lp9cr6lw6h at least you have seen it done now
Hornby announced a few days ago what other engines we want them to make. I’m really hoping they make an LNER W1, LNER B12, LNER J94, GWR 5700 Pannier, BR Class 04, BR Class 07, and both LNER P2s. These would definitely be a game changer for the TT:120 since we would have more 0-6-0s and we’ll be able to make more customs. Although I’ve been planning to make a 5700 and possibly an N2/N7 using a J50 chassis
@jxxgames do you mean they "asked" what we would like? I pesonally don't think the W1 and P2's would be big sellers yet but we all like to think what "we" like would be good. I would swap those for a B1 and Black 5. Hornby already have it in their pans for a 57xx and J94. I already have thoughts of an N2 from a J50 chassis as the wheelbase is correct, but the wheels are too small.
@@garryhall5552 Black Fives would actually be genius. Also I agree with you with the LNER W1s since their OO gauge ones were pretty flimsy with the win deflectors being very fragile and breaking easily. The P2s will definitely be a nice edition for a new for wheel configurations and could possibly make for great customs. But I would possibly also swap the P2s with a 9F since they’re really nice models and their OO models have sold nicely with their amazing details
@@jxxgames the P2's to be a little more popular might have to be the rebuilt unstreamlined version.
Good collection of locos. TT:120 is the ideal thing for those who have got more money than sense! It is a good job old Simon Kohler invented the Hornby version of it! Or else you'd still be collecting all that old Triang stuff! Thanks for uploading.
@@AllensTrains what do you mean "more money than sense"?
The whole point of TT:120 is it’s not manufacturer invention, it’s a true scale unlike any RTR scale in UK; N, OO or O are all incorrect. 1:120 is the correct TT scale as used across rest of the world. Garry has created an impressive range through traditional modelling skills, most of these don’t exist as RTR models.
@@HighFell thanks Matt.
@@garryhall5552 This is a caveat that applies to any collector of model trains, including myself!
@AllensTrains right, it is just some people have used it in a different and impolite way towards me.
The era 5 ones? How do they run compared to LMS and era4's?
@timallen_uk the two brakes coupled together (same number) are beautiful runners like most of the blood and custard ones. The other 4 (brake has different number) have a very, very slight scrape but nothing like the LMS. It is so little they run very free and it is not noticeable on the main layout. I am not even going to bother touching these.
My brake 3rd in BR Maroon runs a treat but my 50’ full brakes in early & late run well too. I like the roof detail on these as well as the variety over the MK1’s. These make great local service trains on High Fell 😁
@HighFell I actually like these better than the Mk1s and as you say the roof detail is excellent. I just want Hornby to do Stanier Kitchen and Dining cars now but a good guess says that will be a long long time off.
Great video love the 52 👍🏼
@@darrenfawkner2018 thank you.
Ey the bogie frames make yoyr diesels look so much better, only complaint is lack of fuel/water tanks. Any idea when we'll see the class 40 at all?
@lukeslocos6610 If I cannot find any spare fuel tanks then there are two people who do 3d prints of them. The Halling bogies for the 40 should be here this week so might start it but going on holiday at the end of the week so it could be a while yet.
Stellar stuff there! Looks like it'd fit one of my models very well - which locomotive did you borrow the chassis from?
@MoonlitLab I have no idea which loco the chassis came from it has been in my possession since I dabbled in N in the 90's. What are you looking at using it for?
@@garryhall5552 I bought a small tank engine kit from Sparkshot - where you got your Baltic tank. Ideally I'm looking for something about the size of a J94 or a terrier.
@MoonlitLab for something like that, this would probably suit it being a short wheelbase.
@@garryhall5552 Awesome! Do you know which class of locomotive the chassis you used comes from?
@MoonlitLab no sorry, it is from when I did some N gauge in the 90's and cannot remember. It could possibly have been just a chassis bought as I used to scratch build bodies to fit Farish chassis''s, similar I suppose to now with 3D bodies on Hornby chassis's.
Hi Garry, I've always wondered - is your track a mixture of Peco HOm and TT:120? Excellent work on this and the baby Deltic too!
@MikeTT120 thanks for the comment Mike. Regarding the track, all original track, which is the lower level, is Peco H0m and was modified for Triang TT loco use. The modern Hornby still run very well on it so where possible (future portable layout) I will continue to use it. The upper level, when I get around to it, is mainly Hornby 120 as I needed the set curves as too tight to do properly with flexible. However, the station area and pointwork will be Peco H0m still.
@@garryhall5552I think the wider spacing of the sleepers with HOm really suits TT:120. Not sure if it’s more or less realistic compared to Peco/Hornby TT track though?
@MikeTT120 scale/accuracy has never bothered me and, in my own view the Hornby/Peco sleepers looks too close together. Plus, it is easier to ballast lol.
Nice build Garry, she runs very well
@HighFell thanks Matt, just hope it is not too long before the nameplates are made for this and the Scot. Doug at Silver Tay said he has been very busy with the names already done, which is a good thing really.

Nice and great to see out and about.
Runs great and looks superb. Medium sized tank engine is hopefully not too far away for those of us less talented on the engine builds 😁
Thanks Matt, when I was asked at one of the shows Hornby were at what loco would I like to see I did say "any, I don't mind but what would be nice is the 00 2-6-0 you have just released, or, standard 4 tank". Don't think my one view will make it happen though.
@@garryhall5552 I think the standard class locos would be a great place to extend the steam range. BR late steam is popular and standard classes were everywhere. A nice 4MT would be perfect for almost any layout
@@HighFell they certainly would. Just seen today that Lincoln Locos do the 2-6-0 3mt and I would love one. Alas at the moment no suitable chassis and doubt the J50 will fit. I want 77012 as it was a York engine and a photo I took of her won me a competition in the college photography class.
They both look great! Which colour you used for the blue duchess?
Thanks. The blue is Precision steam loco blue. I would have preferred to use a car spray like my A3 but it was impossible to mask everything so it is brush painted.
fun times
Absolutely mind blown by how well you've completed that SCC Sparkshot Baltic Tank. The standard of finish is second to non. So nice to see it running too. 😍
Thank you, it is a lovely 3d print too. Just washed and painted it, no sanding etc required.
Nice looking layout.
Thank you.
Is this a 3D print?
Yes both loco bodies are. From Lincoln-Locos.
You are just teasing me now Garry 🤣
Sorry Matt, I know you are wanting a 9F for High Fell so could not resist.
That’s going be a very useful loco 😁
Certainly unusual in any model scale and I am hoping to do it in Furness colours, similar to LMS.
Awesone job Garry. They look mega!

Thanks, just bought another 6 to do.
Glad you had a go. They start to look so much better weathered and the detail starts to come out 😁
Thanks Matt, just bought another 6 to do and 11 should be enough for now until the unfitted ones appear.
nice! the 9f is one of my favourite locos, I have a Hornby OO version, and I built the old airfix evening star kit as an everyday loco. a few years back I was at York railway museum, saw both the evening star and flying Scotsman which was in for servicing work, and if I'm honest I was more impressed by evening star (heresy, I know!)
That’s mighty impressive
Thanks, hopefully better when the chassis and wheels are black and cylinders raised. For Evening Star I need a double chimney of something. I had thought with a single chimney I might do black but the paintwork is too nice t paint over.
He's done it, set the bar higher with skills XD
Nice!
