dombanks Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 bit of a wierd question but in a box of stuff that my parents found of mine in their loft was a hornby train, anyone know how i can test it to see if it works? i was thinking its likely to be a simple 12V motor so i could just use a lab pack to test it.

Lawrie Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 They were all 12 volt before it went digital Quote

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Is it a two rail type or the older three rail kind? Quote
pistonbroke Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Some had the engine ( motor ) in the tender rather than the loco itself Quote
