Hello All,
I have a C&S mogul that has been sitting for a years. I pulled it down and tried to get her running. I'm using a MRC 7200 transformer and a small track (10 feet test track), the mogul starts slow and will not move unless I have the power cranked over 50%. She starts slow but will eventually get going...she draws about .9 to 1.1 amps at full speed (with no tender or firebox running) running with no amp/draw spikes when starting from stop.
The motor spin freely. I cleaned the inside of the wheels that contact the brushes. I also cleaned the commutator on the arm and the brushes inside the motor can.
I will take an ohm meter from the pick up to the leads in the tender to see if there is a lot of resistance although I don't know what is normal resistance.
I noticed the metal weights are also starting to disintegrate where there is white dust everywhere inside the gear and motor housing. Is it okay to clear coat the weight to help control the dust.
Any suggestion?
Also anyone know where I can get the boiler little black plastic hand rail holder for a mogul?
I noticed inside the boiler the cam wiring for the sound was not hooked up to the circuit board. I did not see any open blocks to plug the harness from the cam wheel sensor. There is a block that will fit the harness...but two green wires to a harness is already in that area. Does anyone know where the wire harness for the cam sensor goes on the circuit board? I did remove the two green wires harness and plugged in the harness from the rear wheel cam sensor but the sounds timing does not sync with the engine....any suggestions?
I bought this used a log time ago I just let her sit and I don't know if this train is running normal or not. There are no instructions and I printed the schematic, but there is not operating instructions.
I have mostly sets in Z, N, O and G...but no HO (that is my brothers gauge). Nothing big, I just take them out and run them from time to time.
Thanks,
TG
