Recently got hold of a United Scale Models Brass 2 truck Climax loco , it needs a new motor as the other one died.
The original motor was german made 25mm long x 15mm round and fits in a a reduction sleave of some kind called "Minimotor AGNO' , swiss made.
I am not sure if the reduction sleave if necessary , althought the climax dosn't move fast , i should be able to control it with the power pack.
The Loco is heavy and i would have though that the motor would have to be powerfull to push it.
Has anybody re-motored a brass loco , particulary this one , and can give me an idea of what i should look for in a new motor.I am looking at the Mashima range of motors as they are readily available here.
Any help or coments would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Ian
