Title: 80 ton three truck shay motor replacement
Post by: jfe42 on October 19, 2008, 02:22:36 PM
The mentioned HO scale engine needs a motor replacement.  How can they be purchased?   The Spectrum instruction sheet that came with the engine mentions a loco chassis assembly H81911 but that seems an over kill for a simple motor replacement.  The present motor's commutator segment separated from the armature which caused the stall condition.  Thought Backmann would be the logical staring resource if not them then NWSL.  Any suggestions?

Dear JFE,
please call the service department tomorrow. They'll let you know if the motor is in stock.
Have fun!
