Great Western Railway Pannier Tank. Hundreds of them were built - converted from older locos I believe - and served for decades on mostly passenger lines in the west of England. Many in push-pull services on branch lines. Lasted in service on British Rail until the 1960s. The London Underground system operated them too in a gorgeous red livery. Great video. I have the GWR version myself and I run it with a push-pull Autocoach trailer.

@@SMTMainline if you’ve got the time just try putting the nut and bolt back in nice and tight (make sure there’s no air gap between the pole pieces and the magnet) and give the motor a 9v battery test . The coils look really clean to me so I’d be surprised if it was burnt out. The XO4 is a pretty rugged unit. When properly set up and serviced they are very reliable. The commutator slots can get gummed up with carbon deposits and need to be gently cleaned out with a wooden cocktail stick (don’t use anything metal). The commutator can be cleaned with meths, or the 00Bill T-cut on a cotton bud and a « scroosh » of aerosol contact cleaner method. It would be a shame to bin what is probably a perfectly good motor. I’ve saved nearly all of mine over the years just by treating them this way. If the coils are « bugg***d », you’ll find that out if you do a continuity test on each commutator segment with a multi-meter. Best of luck! I look forward to hearing how you get on. Triang Hornby put them in just about everything up until the late ´70’s. Yours looks like a later one with its gold coloured coils and just bare phosphor bronze bearings.

A good test of a motor magnet strength is to see how it attracts a small screwdriver. Comparison with your best open frame type motors will show what the strength should be. A weak magnet motor will always give sub optimal performance. Most of this era magnets will lose strength if taken out of the motor and thus be out of the magnetic circuit. Looks like this has happened in the past. Mashimas are a great motor, but I am amazed that you got the gear mesh even working with a hot glue method. If the gear mesh is not spot on , the motor will draw extra current and not perform as well as it should.

Excellent video! As per other comments here, I would never have thought of a hot glue gun and tape to mount the motor. Another technique in my tool box! Also as per other comments, I would have tried a neodymian magnet. Very cheap and powerful enough to have much smaller magnets and ignore any airgap if they don't quite fit. In fact you may actually want an airgap to reduce magnet power. Too much force as the armature rotates can apparently wear the armature axle bearing into an ovel shape so I am told. I have not experienced that problem myself however. Cheers!

I own quite a few Triang/Hornby models with that type of motor, specifically the X.04 motor, think of it as a downsized, 3 pole version of the DC71 motor, Triang created it and retrofitted almost all their models to use it, early diesels used a motor bogie with a motor frame cast into it, but all steam locos (barring the Caledonian and Dean singles) used the X.04, part of the reason why Triang did so well, the normalisation of components cheapened the models As for the creation of the X.04 itself, smaller motors were able to be used, as diecast bodies weren’t a thing Triang delved into, first using cellulose acetate bodies, before moving onto polystyrene in the mid 50s, lighter locomotives meant they didn’t need such beefy motors The X.04 continued production into the Hornby era, though a smaller motor was soon created, and tender engines/bogie diesels started to use their new Ringfield motors, starting with their 9F “Evening Star” loco, however tender engines with small tenders (namely the Ivatt 2MT and Holden B12) continued to use X.04s

I would suggest the armature is fine. Check the resistance across each of the three windings via the commutator. They should be around 7 ohms. The magnet may well need a re-mag. By the way, the body is held in place by the small screw under the left side water tank (as you attempted first) but needs to be completely removed to clear the body. The upper part of the boiler/ tanks that came off should be glued to the main part of the body.

A few comments, your pannier tank is missing the top of the Funnel which is fairly common. I will admit that I'm not exactly impressed that after on track test you concluded the motor was junk and decided to replace it. part of the issue was probably as you say the magnet was at the end of it's life but the screw holding the rear end of the motor together was also missing a nut meaning that screw was an affect useless which didn't help. I also noticed you didn't clean out the spaced between the commutator plates which is crucial maintenance on all motors if you can. I'm also surprised how the chassis of the loco was barely touched with some oil and looks to me the pick ups needed a bit of adjusting. It looks to be in overall good shape bit a bit of cleaning and a drop of oil goes a long way as you should know.
