VERTICAL ARMATURE MOTORS (Spinning Top)Integral motors as fitted in the 0-6-2T, 2-6-4T, A4, Duchess, City, Bullied Unrebuilt Pacific and Scot. These motors are of excellent basic design but often lack power. This is usually due to a poor magnetic field which results in a lack of torque and overheating. Rewinding in lap mode, and remagnetising in situ results in a dramatic improvement in performance. Thicker poles to improve magnetic field can be fitted to vertical armature motors but as it may involve slight modifications to fit into bodies, we need the bodies as well. An extra charge of £10.00 is required for this service, (part of which is used for the extra postage weight). 1/2" DIAMETER OPEN FRAME MOTORSAs fitted to early Dublo Castles, 8F and later Wrenn and Dublo 0-6-0's and the integral motors fitted to the BO-BO and Brighton Belle. These are not of such good design as the armature is small and the worm(s) large resulting in most of the output being used to overcome gear friction. However, rewinding in lap and remagnetising results in a worthwhile improvement. RINGFIELD MOTORSThese were Dublo's answer to the shortcomings of the 1/2'' type Castle and 8F motors, & also fitted to the CO-CO, CO-BO, Diesel Shunter & Southern Electric Motor Coach. Unfortunately these vary in performance and often burn out whilst attempting normal duties. Rewinding in lap & remagnetising, solves the problem and the improvement is well worthwhile. The cost to rewind, remagnetise & service (see General Information) the Hornby Dublo & Wrenn Locos, is £18.50 plus P&P. Try not to send the body.
Service includes checking & lubrication of motor & motion. Any minor missing or worn 'running’ parts replaced, fine tuning of brushes & pick-ups to provide maximum power.
SCALESPEED rewind H/D & Wrenn armatures in a unique way (lap) to provide more power although this maybe at the cost of top speed.
A remag is absolutely essential after removing any magnet. Measurements have shown that 70% of magnetism is lost immediately a magnet is disturbed let alone removed.
Pack Locos carefully in bubblewrap. Use a large enough box. Don't send body unless you are unsure about taking loco to pieces.
We cannot take responsibility for loss or damage in the post.
Loco's/motors will be returned by normal mail. Recorded delivery £1.00 extra. Postal charges apply to U.K. only. Please allow up to 21 days for the return of goods.
All Rewind work is guaranteed for 2 years.
