Hornby Ringfield 3/5 Pole Armatures

John models OO Gauge and asks readers:

“Help please. I have an old Class 110. 3 car multiple unit Hornby R369 with a 3pole motor which could perform better. So I saw a video on how to change to 5pole, but on my motor armature the new 5pole (Part No X9024) shaft is only 1.99 mm diameter and the old 3pole shaft is 2.37 mm diameter. I am informed that bushes are or were available to fit. Can any one help to find or know who makes them.”

    melbournemodelraceway.com.au/trianghornby.html have a lot of Triang and Hornby spares. Maybe worth a try.

    Have now found a local man with a lathe to make some bushes which came in the post today, so will have to fit them soon. Thank you all.
