Glad you sorted it. Might have been helpful to point out the video is essentially about DCC issues though. Those of us like myself using DC and hoping for a Hornby DMU repair video didn't have anything to learn from this.
Hi, a fair point. Everything regarding the servicing and fault finding would be the same for either DC or DCC up to the point of the decoder. If your motor is working ok when connected to a supply directly then the only thing it can be is the wiring to the wheel pick ups or the pick ups themselves. This loco is going to be the subject of another repair job and I might even treat it to a new motor. Not sure a video will feature it. Geoff
