a small bit of engine oil on the motor shaft with help the solder take to the metal shaft when you solder a better pinion on there. Or as someone has said get a better pinion that needs to be pressed on.

Hi, stumbled across this video and was after some advice. I have recently found my original Hornby 125 set from when I was a kid in the 1980s (recently rediscovered in my parents loft lol). Thing is after laying the track out and hooking up the power, no joy. When I last used it as a kid it worked just fine, so was wondering if you or anyone else could advise on how to go about checking what the issue is. If it needs a new power supply (assuming that’s what’s wrong) is it easy to get a replacement or will any modern one work with the old school stuff? I’m guessing it’s the power supply but not sure. Any help will be great fully appreciated as I’m at that age where I’d like to dust it off and start running it again…recently got back into RC after many decades so this is another toy ai want to resurrect lol

Hi! Firstly, best of luck. Finding a fault is a really annoying process! The easiest thing to do first is try out your loco on another layout - don't suppose you know anyone nearby? Failing that, you could use a volt meter to see if there is actually any power to the rails. If there's no power, you probably need a new controller. If there is power, then it's a case of giving your loco a really good service (clean wheels, contacts, very lightly oil moving parts - not the motor). I'm sure there will be a video out there to give you step by step instructions. Good luck - I'd love to know how you get on.

@@buckhamptonmodelrailway5923 thank you so much for detailed response. I know there is a group that runs ride-on trains at a park close to me (Harrow and Wembley Society of Model Engineers) so have dropped them an e-mail in the hope they might be able to help. I only hope they don’t laugh at me as the Society seems like your proper Railway enthusiast. Will gladly report back as in the long term I hope to get this back up and running. My first love is RC stuff, but I thanks to the rabbit hole that is KZbin I discovered scale’ rc which led me to model making (so Tamiya / Revell/ Airfix something I dabbled with as a kid around the time I got my train set) and then dioramas which then led me back to model railways. It appears that all these hobbies (addictions?) have a common theme 🙂👍 Thanks again for the great advice, very much appreciated. I look forward to seeing your model railway grow🙏

I ended up doing exactly that but then just got a CD drive motor conversion kit from Strathpeffer Junction.

A brass gear from Peter's Spares sorted it - just needed a tighter fit.
