Who told you the motor needs the LED to run? The motor is a DC motor. It responds to voltage level across the red & black wires. They might be...
That is a coreless motor. Sure enough they list as a replacement on their web site. I am surprised & pleased that they are using those. I...
Not sure I understand how you checked the motor. In the CB motor the two frame sides provide the electrical connection to the two sides of the...
I use NCE systems for DCC. I have gone a number of decoder installs over the years. I have found that you need to to do a factory reset twice...
Thanks, I look into it.
4 Initial test results discussion To better understand the motor capabilities the normalized values of Torque capacity & speed need to be...
2. Test plan for each motor The specific plan is to measure no external load current draw & motor speed, rpm at various supply voltage settings....
My long term plan for this task is a clean & lightly lubricate. I find that the commutators are dirty & most tend to have some sort of liquid,...
I agree & understand that issue. I intend to deal with that on a different thread. This one is definitely related, but is focused on the motors...
The elements of this discussion are: Definition of the test motors. Test plan for each motor Analysis techniques. Initial test results...
I happened on to a number of N scale Bachman engines. Most run poorly. This group is the 1981 version as defined in Spookshow.com. Actually...
This shows that it is best to shop around. That does not necessarily reduce the final price, but it might. Another obvious choice is to wait &...
A couple of questions: Does speed or load matter? Does it derail with a nominal train load Is it an engine by itself issue Can you visualize...
Most of the DCC suppliers have very flexible with in gauge that will probably work for this. These are stranded as you want.
DCESharkman et all, I use these charts for a number of reasons in my improvement work. As I indicated in the first post, I am surprised that I am...
I have been looking further into this subject. Running Engine only & up to maximum train length data on some engines. Eventually this will...
The problem here is that there is eleven different axle lengths in N scale wheels. Some manufacturers have multiple lengths(Atlas). The MTL are...
DCESharkman, Thanks for the input. It gives me some interesting perspective to think about. For my more general testing, which will include my...
Is this going to be an one & done or will they produce the cars like the Burlington & NYC?
brokemoto, this Trix unit has a pretty good speed range. It’s min speed is 12 SMPH at 3.6 volts. A bit high in speed, but this is in as received...
