Reply to "Marx 999 engines Stuck in one direction"

Choo Choo CharlieOGR Forum Member

I have tried drowning it Caig DeoxIT and working the pendulum pin in both directions. Mine has the holes in the side of the motor to get a little access. The piston is free and the pendulum works in the reverse position and swings to the forward position. About 9 volts were on one brush when running in reverse and no voltage when I force the pendulum to forward with a match stick. The pendulum is not making contact in forward and that is the cause of it not working. This is the same problem for both motors.

These two motors are in excellent shape and show no gear wear, etc. and look newer and better than any of my other 5 or 6, 999s or 666s. The fact they only work in reverse is the reason! To bad it is not stuck in forward as I could live with that and run it forward and neutral. I may have to make them Cab Forward engines to get to use them!

Any other ideas out there?

Thanks

Charlie
