I bought an old Hornby R758 Class 35 "Hymek" Diesel Loco from ebay. Motor needed a complete overhaul but apart from that it's a nice example of this old model.

Got a couple of those Hymeks now. Great looking locos - of course I'm biased as my first proper train set was the Tri-ang big Big Train Blue Flyer from my grandfather. Spent hours in their front room on the floor running that thing. Must have got in my blood I think! Recently got one of mine running gain after a long period of neglect. The motor noise is so distinctive!

Great video. Through watching it I've also serviced my Hymek with the same motor. A fiddly thing to do, but now it works beautifully. I've also serviced a Hornby Ringfield and a Lima Ringfield after watching your videos and all the engines are running well again. Thank you.

Still one of the prettiest diesels from the time and I had the green version of this as a boy, I still remember picking it out in Scotch Corner in Kilmarnock just on looks. Although my layout will be set in Scotland I still plan to have a Hymek cos they are nice, ditto the Class 31s which are probably my favourite diesels of all despite never having ran around here.

Interesting video - thanks. I had one of these new as a boy in the late 60s or early 70s and from new it ran like crap. I can remember the disappointment to this day. So well done getting that thing to work! Still got a soft spot for Hymeks though.

great ,informative footage- BUT I, personally would never use grease on wheels (fantastic for use on the gear,s and teeth !!) or armature- bearings !! these metal bearings are designed to be slightly porous as to allow a tiny amount of the appropriate oil to "soak" into the metal - I would have thought that grease would have caused to much "drag " on the motor and wheels ?? also that may be the reason its quite a noisy runner ?? I would recommend a light, thin, -plastic compatible oil , maybe "Singer sowing machine oil " or "Peco " lube ??

They are called 'sintered bearings' (from the manufacturing process), but they are designed to be used with 'ordinary' oil, rather than grease.

@@oobill lol. Actually your videos have been very helpful. I'm just getting back into the hobby and my old locos have been in storage for some years. I'd given them a quick service and run them in, but they're still a bit noisy and juddery for my liking, especially when I compare them to a couple of new ones I've just bought, so you've given me some useful insights in to what could improve their performance.

Ive found that when taking the body off these that I have used normal standard business cards next to where the clips are , ie lever the body off the chassis and then if not big enough to get the whole body away from the clips then use two business cards on top of each other where each retaining clip is. They are a good looking engine arent they but are a tad loud but also adds to the sound of them. Anyhoo you probly already know this. Also what is the cleaning solution you use ie brand and name for the axles bearings and brushes ansd springs etc called please. Cheers from John in Australia.

Hi Bill ,, would the capacitor keep some voltage in the wires to get the loco across points and diamond crossing but being so small do you think it would make much difference to them stopping on points and diamond crossings. I have tried that and dosent seem to make any difference when i used to run them. Anyhoo keep the good work and gr8 video's there Bill and thankyou. Cheers from John in Australia

Yes you can. But when refitting them make sure the wiper pickups are on the inside of the wheels. It'll be easier if you remove the loco body.

This really shouldn't be this noisy. Check the fit of the bearings in the housing and make sure the mesh with the gears is ok. However if you have a pwm controller then this will make many motors buzz unnecessarily. E.g. the basic hornby controller is in fact pwm, but gaugemaster tend not to be. A Triang hymek was my first loco back In the day. You are lucky as you bought a late version with the extra pickups.
@oobill
@oobill 4 жыл бұрын
Since uploading I've added more oil to the gears, tightened the bearing clips and reduced the magnets to two neos instead of four and its running as quiet as I'd ever expect it to. Its maybe even quieter than my 37 which surprises me. I was very careful to buy one with the front pickup as I know the earlier ones didn't have it. 😉

Quite often these motors run very slow from cold . Try just running it for a while on max power. If everything is clean and lubricated it'll speed up.

Not really. I'd only consider "running in" a loco with brand new brushes or new gears. But yes sometimes it takes a loco a couple of laps round the track to behave properly after a service.

Quick question, how does your 37s wheels stay in without the traction magnets. If its easy to keep them in maybe I will remove mine
@oobill
@oobill 3 жыл бұрын
The wheels stay in fine as they are held in place with the underplate. The magnets were put there to provide some magnetic traction on older Hornby steel track. They serve little or no purpose on modern nickel track.

@@TheAntisocialTrain If the track is modern nickel track it won't be magnetic therefore the traction magnets do nothing. Put a magnet to your track and if it sticks then the traction magnets will improve traction a little. If it doesn't then they won't.
