Title: electrical contact springs to send track power to motor.
Post by: Walter Seiler on March 25, 2011, 04:01:31 PM
the spring(s) that makes the contact from the track power to the body(motor) are not usable for repair. How do I get replacement springs?

Can you be more specific?  (loco type, age, etc)

There is a parts dept.  Click on "Parts & Svc" above.

...or you could install Tomar Locomotive power pick ups. Check out their website for more information. I use these pick ups on my transfer tables and they work extremely well (someday the plan is to install them on my Bachmann Plymouth WDT and eliminate the unreliable axle-to-frame electrical connection).

Walter-

Or are you asking about the connections to the motor's brushes? If so, there may be better options than replacing just the brushes, depending on what you have. Please give us some more details.
