All Fixed Now! Problems with Lionel Pioneer Zephyr #6-51008

chugOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I recently ran my Lionel Zephyr and after a short time I suddenly had no speed control it either stopped or ran real fast. Upon removing the shell I discovered a familiar problem, the Odyssey magnetic ring had broken into 4 pieces. I ordered a replacement ring, installed it on the flywheel and expected good results, but now I find that the rear motor runs considerably faster than the front motor that I just serviced. I have checked and rechecked all plugs and wiring. The front motor is not binding and the new magnetic ring is properly positioned and secure. I suspect that I may have either a bad motor and or sensor. Unfortunately the Lionel web site shows this motor part #650-1104-101 as "unavailable". Thoughts on this problem most welcome and assuming it is the motor/sensor, where can I obtain a replacement?
