Shane McD Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Try switching the wires to the motor over to change the poles over. +-/-+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane McD Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hi Popeye, thanks for that. Unfortunately it didn't work. Just wondering if its anything to do with the magnets? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane McD Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane McD Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Unsure Sven-E but based on their age I'll have to say DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
