Model Railway Services
Hammond Models is a trusted provider of friendly and reliable servicing, repairs, and custom installations for all scales of Model Railway including electrical repairs and bespoke DCC and sound conversions.
Service and Repair
Servicing helps to improve the running performance, reliability and longevity of your models. For DCC and Sound converted models these issues are more pronounced, therefore maintenance is essential.
My services involve stripping motors down (unless they’re sealed can motors) and cleaning all electrical contacts, brushes and commutators. Brushes are replaced if they require replacement. This is followed by the removal of the drive and gear train to clean off any accumulated dirt and inspect for wear and cracks, before reassembly with light lubrication. The bogies and all pick-ups and electrical contacts are cleaned before running the motor and drive chain to check for correct operation. The wheels are then cleaned and any surplus lubrication removed before testing on a rolling road. The motor is then run-in in both directions on a rolling road, which also helps to bed in any new brushes installed.
