Opposite Directions

[Shane McD]

Hi all,

Just looking for a tip on engine direction....

I have 3 engines that use the Hornby Hymek Class 35 engine. I wasn't working properly but I've sorted that now.

My issue is that when testing the engines 2 go in the same direction when powered up but one goes the opposite way. When I swap them around the same.

Is there something that I have to do to get them all heading the same direction?

 

Cheers,

Shane McD

Try switching the wires to the motor over to change the poles over. +-/-+

Hi Popeye, thanks for that.

Unfortunately it didn't work.

Just wondering if its anything to do with the magnets?

Cheers

So simple in the end.

I had the magnet casing the wrong way round, thus the power was the wrong way! Doh.

Thanks for your suggestion Popeye, it actually was right but I had to work it out.

DC or DCC?

Unsure Sven-E but based on their age I'll have to say DC.
