An easy solution saved the day and a nice little runner gets back on the tracks. It just shows that we should all start at the basic checks before we jump ahead of ourselves. Thanks for showing. Barry/.Devon
I had to look up "white spirits." It is a British description. It is the same as turpentine or mineral spirits in the states. I will try this. When I started repairing trains in a hobby shop some 50 years ago, I was taught to only use denatured alcohol, or grain alcohol poisoned to make it unsuitable to drink. In some cases, Electric contact cleaner could be used. We always made sure that the cleaner would not react with the plastic, or paints. Your solution is more economical. Thank you.
My 08 shunter is not working R152 moter is working help Cleaned comutatior pick ups buffer light goes out when i put it on track a shorting probleum ?????
I have an older Rivarossi Dreyfuss Hudson that is overheating. I'm thinking it needs an engine replacement. Now with your information it may not. I know from my experience with HO Scale slot cars that oil is a major enemy of the comutator.
Yes , it will also give an inertia effect . I did with a slot car. Model railway, on the other hand has a problem it runs both directions. Polarity of rail changes so you need a bipolar electrolytic capacitor or 2 standard in series back to back. Which will result in half capacity. Just need to experiment with size. Capacity in Farads × resistance In ohms will give a time constant x 5 will give time to discharge or charge. That give you an idea how long loco will run for.

Thank you so much for the video. This information is helpful. It can be purposed on my "S" and "O" gauge model trains.
Thanks, Jenny!

👍 First video! I'm subscribed now.
Try Servisol contact cleaner. It can be sprayed onto the commutator whilst running. Geoff. W.

I have about 2 dozen to be checked.
useful information jenny,nice one.jpj
LOL magic smoke!
Great video please follow dempster trains
Why is the Loco in the thumbnail so huge??
Good job!
Excelent quality video ...
No sound failures and very good production!
Bravooo!
