Thanks so much for these videos..In Canada there aren't a lot of resources for repairs of the old Dublo equipment so this has really given me hope that I can restore some of my "tired" locos cheers, Frank
hi Ronald, just found in my loft suitcase with all my Hornby dublo train set in which my father bought me second hand for Christmas over 50 years ago, with the help of your videos have managed to get 2 of my 4 trains running the 3 will only run on 3/4 power then cuts out and the 4 needs a new motor, please can you help with the one that will only run on 3/4 power, and I also need 2 sets of brushes and spring where can I get them from ? cheers
HI Ronald. As any good electrician or mechanic will tell you. Never use any emery or carborundum paper on electrical items, as it will cause you problems. Sandpaper only !!!
Hiya Ronald i have tried to get to your personal information to get to you directly which i do not seem to be able to get so if you have another suggestion, to talk about the magnetizer & how i can purchase direct from you, Mark p,👍👍
Hello Ronald. Many thanks for your videos. I have a BR Standard 2 6 4 tank that runs, slowley, but only if I 'coax' it by flicking the armature with a toothpick! It has a really good magnet and brushes. Do you have any idea what the problem might be? Thanks again.
@@Raedodd5 Many thanks for your reply. I don't think there is a binding issue so as you say, and I think I suspected, a motor rewind is needed. Can you recommend anyone? Thank you again.

Hi, You need to determine if it is mechanically binding, if not it may need a motor re-wind.
