Hi.... trying to get my old analog Marklin 1 gauge engine ( model 5700) ready for the holidays and so I tested it recently. It ran rough and lubricating helped a little. However, I believe the brushes may need to be replaced. Unfortunately I lost or misplaced the user manual some time ago and am not sure which type of Marlin brushes would work. I've noticed that they look very similar to the brushes I have on some of my older Marklin HO engines that I own. Any info would be much appreciated.

I think they are the same 6003 brushes as for older H0 AC, now called 600300 - one graphite & one copper/brass roll. Since I don't have any experience with 1 Gauge, I might be wrong, but the early 1 Gauge used the same motors as H0... Other members will know better.  |

Ken Hi Ken, Here are the original service sheets for this model from April 1970. The original part number for the brushes was 60041, this was for a pair of Graphite Brushes. Later they moved to a single graphite brush and a single copper brush, the copper brush aids cleaning of the armature commutator. As far as I know, 60041 became 600410, and is now sold as 600350 which appears to be a current item in the online shop.... E600350 - Accessory Set Bürstenpaar € 6.00 recommended retail price E This older thread might help also https://www.marklin-user...are-parts-and-battery-rcHope this helps you find them Regards Steve    |

Thanks so much for all of your input and thanks to Steve for that Manual he included. I really rely on the information provided by the members in this forum since my knowledge of all things Marklin is unfortunately lacking.
