Problem Locomotive HO Hornby Dublo 2019 2-6-4 By Meccano

Steve is hoping for some advice from experienced model railroaders and asks:

“I got an old Hornby Dublo Set from my uncle, No 2019 2-6-4 Train Goods Set Manufactured by Meccano LTD, The engine doesn’t seem to work everything turns. I have tried voltage directory to the terminals but nothing. Has anybody got any ideas or know where I can get some instructions on pulling it apart? It has one copper colored spring in the brushes and a shorter stainless one with a homemade Brush on the other side so I’m guessing there has been running repairs done at some stage”

Add your suggestion below.

    Hi Robert, The problem with the motor sounds to me like there is a wire on the armeture that is broken. If you can take it apart withcare it can be soldered.

    Hy Brian, I contact Hornby spares and
    talk to Peter, ([email protected]) he can help you he find for me an armour for a Britannia steam loco, and he also find for me the respective drawing of the complete machine.
    Good luck,
    Carlos (from Lima – Peru – South America)

    Try Lendons of Cardiff you will find them on the Webb, they carry service/maintenance sheets for all Hornby products that you can down load.
    Regards
    Eric
