You asked in an earlier post if it was possible to add an extra motor. Your photo shows a motor in the tender, doesn't the loco also have a motor in it?
The split circle on the underside of the motor may explain why the pulling power is low. That split circle is the traction tyre which increases the "grip" of the loco on the track. It has broken throug age and would have fitted in the lower right hand wheel - the one with the channel in it. There is an LGB traction tyre which will fit as Playmobil ones are difficult to get hold of. I will check which LGB loco uses it.
Hi, there is only one motor, under the tender. It has the metallic wheels and it is heavy. There is no motor into the locomotive.
Every two years the rubber ring is out. I don't run the train a lot, but i believe that the ring is out of work because of the air conditions/dumpness and not the use. Four or five years ago, the spare part 7231 was still available and i bought 4 pieces. I believe it is LGB-69184.
My train is slow because of the weak tansformer, the ring was off last week, found lying on the tracks. Can you advise an alternative?
Thank you for your assistance
