@@anthonyshobbycorner Hi there, have 61 Fleischmann engines, 26 of them had some sort of issue; 11 shunting, 1 Bahn-bus, 7 V100, 8 V200, 2 V218, 3 BR68 SNCF, 2 Ae 6/6 Swiss, 7 BR55/44 Medium Steam, 9 BR01/50 large steam and 13 E10/E103/E44 electric. The issue is a lack of electric knowledge on my part, following your steps has solved a couple. I take apart a working engine to map out wiring to duplicate in a non-runner and still get a stuttering engine or track power killer. When HO Fleishmann ‘left the building’ I bought up hundreds of parts to keep the engines going for years. Have all the diagrams, thank you. I keep notes and take photos of everything. All a big challenge. Pat

The commutator of this motor was remarkably oily - I have never seen a condition like this before. But at least it prevented corrosion over 50 years in the box. Fleischmann recommended just a small drop of oil for each bearing. They offered a useful little bottle to apply the recommended oil (Art. 6599). But your "hobby oil" looks suitable. The older Fleischmann motors had a small washer similar to the buds you used to clean. It functioned as a kind of storage for the oil and prevented it from going on the commutator - if serviced as recommended and not drowned in whatever. In the newer versions the bearings themselves work like a sponge and keep the small amount of oil in position due to capillar effects. If too much oil is applied the same capillar effects will make the bearings running dry soon. There is as well a washer between bearing and commutator, very thin and translucent in this version, getting lost easily. It helps to keep the oil apart from the commutator and prevents the commutator from touching the housing. I do not use a special conducting oil for the commutator bearing.

Here in Brazil, we have a Sister of this locomotive.

A tip from me: Use an ultrasonic bath..... for the drivetrain aswell. . You use wayyy to much oil - half of a tiny drop is enough. Greetz from 🇳🇱

Awesome! 👍

Hi , which Locomotive did you get restored ? Is it a Fleischmann ? Trix ? Brawa ? Marklin ? Piko ?

Excellent video! I used it as a guide last week in servicing the motor on my first Fleischmann locomotive (4016 BR 70). It runs beautifully now but draws a lot of current, so much that it overloads my controller. Is there any common culprit in these motors that causes such huge power draws?

Hi Anthony, Need your help with a Fleischmann Alco FA unit. Ringfield and gears are fine, thanks to your tutelage with this video. It's missing the copper (brass) nub on the rear truck, which I am unsure makes a difference. It has trouble making a complete lap without nudging it, and for no reason the rear truck derails. I wish you had a personal email/Facebook page to message you with. Awaiting your answer. Thanks.

I found a locomotive from the 40s-50s last service was in 52 from the tag left on the inside of it I’d love to figure out what it is

Hi Robert, If you send me a few pictures , I may be able to help you figure it out . Please send me a pic of the bottom of the locomotive as well ( where I can see the wheels etc .. Send me the pictures to Anthonyshobbycorner@gmail.com. Glad to help out.

I happily I own to sets of the Alco FA'. So glad that I stumbled on to your channel. both of my sets were painted as Santa Fe. I stripped them and repainted the locomotives as New York Cwntral and the other set as Baltimore ^ Ohio. I also repaired the motors but not to the degree of yours. Can you tell me what the button is for on the rear truck? Is your F7 AC?

Hi Anthony, I came across your video just now while searching for resources to get a trio of old Fleischmann locomotives I picked up today running again. The seller couldn't tell me much about them but there where two old lubrication charts, one for a "1302 G + 1302 R 1202 Z" a little blue and white electric two axle loco with spring loaded pantograph on it's roof, the other for a a "1362" DB Steam locomotive (though underneath the two axle front idler wheels is cast then number '1342' while under the tender is cast 12/517. This locomotive has 3 drive wheel axles and a single rear idler wheel axle, though the images on the lube chart match this loco. The other one, also a DB, has '12/953' cast under the single front idler wheel axle, 5 drive wheel axles and no rear idler wheels. On the underside of the tender is cast '12/517' (though this tender is a different design from the first). Of the three the only one that worked for a short period is the '1362' but it was making grinding noise and stopped after about four feet. Do you know of a website with info on vintage Fleischmann locos? These are at least 30 or more years old and when I tried to find info on them at Fleischmann's present day site I came up empty. The little electric loco looks like it's got a similar motor to the one in your video & I suspect the steam locos are similar but with the actual motor in the tender as the 1st three axles have geared wheels on one side of the tender and I'm assuming the pickup wheels are on the locomotive itself as their are two wires that run between the tender and loco. I can send photos of them if you'd like

Thanks for this great in depth and detailed video. I really like older Fleischmann H0! I have an issue with the 4912, it was getting really hot and it was very noisy and didn't seem to run at full strength. I tried cleaning the commutator with cotton buds and circuit cleaner, but I was too afraid to compelety open up the motor. It's running a little more quiet and a lot cooler now, but still slow and more noisy than I'm used to. Any suggestions? I guess there's more gunk in there, so I will have to open up the motor and thoroughly clean it. Thank you for the multimeter tip too, I will check that as well. Much obliged!

Hi , It is hard to diagnose without hearing or seeing the locomotive. However I am more than willing to help you address this issue. Based on the Fleischmann DB, seems like this is a Special edition locomotive built in 2005 , which case as a stand alone loco, or as part of train set. It says that it has a NEM651 DI connector, a flywheel motor. Unfortunately , i am unable to locate the service sheet for this loco. If you give me your contact Info , I am more than happy to connect with you and help you diagnose the issue . Here is my email address. Anthonyb1019@gmail.com. I will give you my phone number , if you choose to connect with me via email . I am more than happy to connect and help you get this loco back to normal operation. Based on what you described , I am thinking that the bearings on each side of the motor is lacking lubrication . But I can't say that for sure without listening to the loco run . Further , If you need help , I can walk you through the process on how to clean the internals of the motor. It is not as scary as you think .. If this is a newer can motor , then it is unlikely that your commutator is fouled. - Regards, - Anthony . -

Hi Rusty , I found the information on your locomotive. If you give me your email address , I can send you quick screen capture of the info , which I have directly from Fleischmann Database . The 93. 1155B is a goods locomotive and it was an AC model specially made for Export to Belgium . It has the serial number 81-256 ( 55. 25-56) . The Fleischmann model was built in 1988 replicating Era III ( Epoch III).. I was also able to locate the service sheet ( how to open the loco and the list of parts ) for the 1155 locomotive . The service sheet indicates that it was manufactured in 1995 , but other data via fleischmann indicates 1998 . either way , you can assume it was manufactured between 1995 - 1998 . IF you want the service sheet, give me your email address and i will send you the PDF ... Regards, - Anthony -

Hi Anthony, glad I found your video. I have a layout and I have HirnbyTriang/Lima model trains. I recently purchased a non running Hornby and I found out it has a Fleischman motor. So I went on a journey ir comedy of errors trying to get it running. I eventually did but then decided to take the plate off to clean the armature. This was my worst nightmare and turned out to be. I lost the springs and cover clips for the brushes! I found the covers and obviously did not secure them properly. Is there a trick to ensuring the clips fit securely? Great job.

Hi , Thank you for your comment. I checked out your video of the Hornby/Fleischmann loco . This is the 1st time I have seen such a setup . Either way , I'm glad you finally got it working . Also , Did I hear correctly that you were in Toronto Canada ? If so , let me know . I live about 30 mins North , In Newmarket , Ontario. With regards to the clips ( covers which hold the springs ) the trick is to hold them with nose pliers . If they are sliding off too easy , you can give the curved tabs a bit of a squeeze to ensure they grab better . Here is my email . reach out to me via email and we can connect : anthonyshobbycorner@gmail.com . I have serviced a ton of these fleischmann's so if you need help with them please don't hesitate to ask . Also I use Brasso to clean the commutator . that is freely available here in any hardware store . take care - Regards - Anthony .

You have mis represented the model. This is not the original fleischmann f3 model 1341 was all metal and preceded this model by more than a decade. The original motor was not a ring field but rectangular. The ring field was adopted mid sixties than injection molding replaced diecast after 1970

good observation . However, I don't have a 1341 nor am I referring to it The 1341 is an Alco and was built between 1959 - 1967. , Rather I have a 1343 ( 4700 ) which is an EMD unit ( . According to the Fleischmann database , the 1343 was manufactured between 1960 - 1973. ) . You are correct in that the 1341 was built a decade prior , but that's not what i have.

@@anthonyshobbycorner The Fleischmann F7 was originally built in 1960 and came in Burlington colors (German catalogue). For the US market, it was also produced in Santa Fe, Union Pacific and New Haven colors, supplementing the 1341 Alco FA (with a die-cast shell) in the same colors. The German catalogue changed the livery from Burlington to Santa Fe in 1970, when their new numbering was introduced. The headlight was added by a previous owner as the Fleischmann F7s were produced without a working headlight. (The 1341 FAs had workling headlights and illuminated number boards.)
