Hornby TT:120 3 pole motor Carbon Brush upgrade

Following on from the last video on what’s happening with 3pole BE brush motors and an full motor swap, this episode features a full upgrade to Carbon Brushes on Trigo.
The brushes are sourced from a 6v N20 motor. It’s a little more involved that a swap to BE Brushes from a similar dual shaft 12v motor to the OE Hornby one. This shows you how it can be done with minimal tools and some patience.
I strongly recommend getting hold of the gear puller from Sven at Tram Fabriek, it’s the one I used to swap the worm gear last time and it’s really useful.
Also big thanks to DJB Doug for his continued work in trying different motor options and to Too Tall for hunting down EBay options, both active on the Hornby Forum in the TT:120 section along with Garry Hall whose impressive range of TT:120 proprietary locos and self built includes an A4 running on carbon brushes too.
If you are not signed up on the forum and are modelling TT:120, you are missing out, always helpful and always friendly 😁
