Revell loco motor

[mudcreek183]

 Found a old revell locomotive that was my dad's.Cleaned and lubed it and found out all the wires on the armature are broke off the commutator.Is there a pattern in which the go on to the commutator I beleive I can solder them back on.Or what other motor will fit it?

Having attempted that many years ago I would suggest using a new motor.  The chances of soldering the wires back correctly while maintaining rotor balance is slim to none.

 

Try posting a picture so a forum member can suggest a proper replacement motor.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

I've got an old Revell diesel switcher around here.  Buried.  My recollection is that the drive (for THAT one) is a clone of a Varney drive.  A pretty bad one, actually.

And I further recall that the motor was analagous to a Pittman DC-60.  Which surely doesn't help much, 'cause finding one of those.....

It might work to simply buy another Revell loco, and use the motor out of there.  A problem might be if there were several different drive versions.

Some info might be turned up at Hoseeker.
