Dapol class 73 in trouble [strip down and service video]

(Note the reference to the suppressor capacitor has been removed as one was found on the DCC blanking plug, sorry about that)
This video looks at why my Dapol class 73 suddenly started behaving badly, slowing down and drawing a lot of current. Initially a suspect motor was thought to be the cause.
You will see a full strip down of the model, examination of the PCB, Motor and gear chain, including strip down of one of the bogies.
I’ll then offer some opinions and advice.
This video is suitable for intermediate service modelers.
If you disassemble to this level you could invalidate your warranty.
Be aware the camera is not fixed and follows the gaze of my eyes real time. Please don’t complaint about no tripod etc.
