Yay got my Locomotech motor shipped to Sydney Australia from UK. Very pleased and only took 10 days to get here. Installation went nicely and it runs super super smooth. Absolutely no jerkiness at all. The only thing I'd like to do is program the decoder (I have NCE Powercab), so that when I stop the power it doesn't continue for a half a second. I know this suits loco's but not for turntable operation. Seriously has to be THE BEST Peco turntable motor out there!!

Looks good! My Peco NB-55 (N scale) turntable had lots of issues with track power connectivity that in the end I gave up with it and simply connected the two bridge rails directly to my DCC bus via a DPDT switch in order to reverse the polarity. I never lose sound momentarily as the bridge rotates across the gap in the brass split ring. The Locomotech motor seems quiet and does the job well.

Thanks for your comment and information regarding DPDT switch Philip I will give it a try regards Mike
@phillipg158810 ай бұрын
@@mscangliarailJust remember that the Peco brass Split ring negates the need for any reverse polarity switch when the turntable rotates 180 degrees. It's actually a good design sort of, EXCEPT my bridge rails could never get a nice continuous helping of power, and it was the connectivity of the two spring loaded pins from beneath both rails not making good contact with the brass split ring below them in the turntable well. It was always a hit and miss affair. So fed up in the end, I removed the split brass rings completely and both spring loaded pins from under both rails and fed my own power wires from my DCC bus to beneath the rails on the bridge. The result - brilliant uninterrupted power on the turntable bridge that now obviously requires the switch to reverse the polarity prior to driving the loco off.

I was on this train. 70013 failed at Swainsthorpe. 47 804 provided some rear end assistance. Some questionable driving. 47 804 had a bufferstop collision at Liverpool Street. 70013 was thrashed to death because the driver knew her boiler certificate was due to expire. Enjoyable day. Still my favourite kettle.

Great information. I'm just a little confused about polarity. Some say you need an autoreverse for polarity, and some don't. I see you didn't use one. Would a stay alive help with sound not cutting out for a split second?
@mscangliarail Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment if you look down the comments people who replied one suggested fitting a thin shim under the contacts and a auto reverser I did not try this as I have only a couple of sound locos Mike

Hi Mike - thanks for this tutorial. I used the "new" DC Peco turntable motor and was disapponted with the result, but part of the issue were the moulded turntable "wheels" snagging on the floor of the pit making the whole thing so jerky that it would actually derail the loco. Did you have any issues with that? Your video seems to show that your rotation is perfectly smooth. If that's the case I'll do this over again with a new turntable and the Locomotech kit and enable DCC - much more convenient for me anyway.

It looks like something you would have seen on the German or Dutch railways circa 1990. Not nice. The tacky livery doesn't help. That said I'm sure they will provide a performance and comfort improvement over the class 15x, despite their rather offensive lack of design cohesion. The one door per coach design seems really stupid and will mean alighting/boarding will take forever in peak times!
