BEA Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I have the above referenced ttender mmotor which I am overhauling, I just need to know if this type of motor needs to be magnetised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olly Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 you can't magnetised a tender drive locomotive. The magnet is rubber or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If necessary you may be able to replace the rubber magnet with a neo one but oft times the result can be worse than before.look on ebay for bowlers-croft, good bloke who knows what he is talking about.I have neo'd a Class 90 OK which runs beautifully but a Class 56 just wasnt suitable being notchy and would only run on heavy throttle.

Howbi Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Once you have cleaned and re-lubricated all the pivot points from motor to valve gear plus cleaned pick-up contact points you may well find that the motor runs perfectly and doesn't need a remag anyway..........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Its tender drive HBM so the loco side is likely incidental.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
