Trouleshooting and everthing else.
Walther's came through today.
Parts are in and I will have to remove the worm gear to installl the new 5 pole armature.Moan. One plan is to push the armature shaft out. With a yardsale mic. I measured about 40/ 1000th Guess what? a paper clip is slightly less. I have the chassis structure on the other side if I pull. Chassis obstructs the access to the lower armature. Not good.
So the engine is stripped found some corrosion on one axle. The old motor is dead. It didn't work without a load, (axles removed). The worm gear is sharp.
I did take some Pic,s, but no time today. I used tweezers and my smalllest precision screwdriver for disassembly. Copper contacts could use a cleaning.
You should of seen the size of the shipping box.![]()
SWMBO ???If I could persuade SWMBO to let me have a larger area, I'd change to HO in a second!
Hmm, nice idea, but I didn't think N scale is as prototypical - and I've been a Maerklin fan since 1962!I've seen Z-scale stuff, it's impressive, but tiny! If I were going really small, I think N-scale would be my lower limit.
I don't know, as I've never really been interested in it. I'm only repeating what I was told, and therefore happy to be proven wrong.What's less prototypical about N-scale over Z-scale?
