Hi, fairly new to this hobby and have aquired an older Bachmann loco which requires new brushes, can anyone tell me where to get these please.

What scale? What model? Can motor or early pancake motor?

Get a new, brushless motor (see my thread on this subject) and tell us how and if it works out?

;)

brian-

I can't agree with GoCanes that you should install a brushless motor. I believe we already have enough evidence that current brushless motors leave something to be desired in model trains and I'm not so sure that using your model as another test of that is such a hot idea.

You might get some answers on a UK forum, such as the New Railway Modellers forum.
