Testing the New Homemade Tri-ang Hornby X0-3 X0-4 Custom Carbon Brush. Starting The Endurance Test

#modelrailways #vintage #repair
Thanks for looking in, after making my first prototype carbon brush last week I have prepared a motor and locomotive to use as a test bed for it. I want to but plenty of hours on this homemade item to see how it compares to a standard Hornby item. See the test track I have built and the first running of the loco in this short video

Lovely runner - I wish I could get my Jintys to run that quiet - Watching trains go around is very therapeutic.. 👍🏻

It is unusual for these to be quite so quiet, lets hope it stays reliable. All the best to you

Good morning Mr snooze 😊 We spend hundreds or even thousands on new DCC railways and I’m one of them 🙄 But look at this little 40 year old Hornby Pannier tank running as sweet as a nut 🔩 😊👍🏻 Well done 👏🏻

Thanks for looking and the kind comment. The new items have so much detail and look superb. I do check them out in the local hobby shop, I must resist and stick to my vintage items. Best regards to you

Great to see her back in action with your own home made brush.
An excellent outcome, as to be expected with things you do on your channel.
Well done.
Stay safe.
Mon 👍

Looks to be running very well so far, it’ll be interesting to see how it wears against the original one.

[@MrSnooze]

Well so far so good, I'll get some more hours on it soon. Thanks for looking, all the best to you
