Hi diesel,

I have noticed on some (but not all) of the decoders in my locos some very low buzzing noise, too. Usually not to be heard as the noise from the motor is stronger. I think this does not necessarily indicate that there is a problem. The motor regulation of the decoders works with rather high frequency, and I suppose the sound is caused by some capacitiors (or whatever) on the PCB. You can also find such noise in a TV set or a light dimmer.

In order to get complete clarity, you could simply connect a small DC motor to the green and blue decoder wires. If no can motor available, a simple DC toy motor should do as well for testing whether e.g. the load regulation works correctly.

Your 60905 is not the only one - I have an Uhlenbrock 76320 which makes a slight buzzing noise, but only when you turn the controller from zero. So the noise can still be heard at low speeds, but once I go past 50 or so, the motor/gear noise is louder.

I have installed SB motors in several old Liliput (Wien) Loks.
All of them work perfectly, eliminating the problems of the original motor-transmission.
The Loks I've modified so far are BR05, BR12 and BR45.
Installation of the SB kit implies some abilities for milling, not very difficult, at least for these Liliputs.
Before start, you should take into account that there is no backout and any mistake will render a ruined Lok. There are no spare tenders available.
Be careful when selecting the decoder: only high-frequency decoders must be used with coreless motors.
Low freq decoders will burn the coreless motor out.
I've installed Lokpilots in my SB Loks.
Best regards,

Sorry
Photos did not turn out. I will try again.

You need to upload the photss to the Forum. We cannot read them from your computer.
In the Forum Topics uner Site Specific Stuff theree is a ost on how to upload Photos.

After uploading (Taking not of the Location) use the Yelloe Envelope Icon and have the Format Mode to Help and paste the address.
Hope that helps.

OK that failed
Try again


Fingers crossed and I may even have to open some red wine to get this to work !!!!!

Diesel,
Reason this one failed was that there was an Enter before the last "bracket /img bracket]"
AS above If I take the enter out the picture will mysteriously appear.

Pleased to be of assistance.

Yes thanks for the assistance BUT how do you know that
"There was an Enter before the last "bracket /img bracket]"
all I see on my page is red X in a square box.


Pianne,
With all the conversions I have done to date, the motor is designed to sit on the mounting block which sits on a flat surface of the original engine chasis. Some need more milling than others but Sb- Faulhaber supply good instructions and pictures.
Once you have the block in place you simply position the motor on top of the block and glue it on making sure the gears are lined up as per the picture in the instructions There is definitely a small area of movement available.
The instructions are in German and my German is extremly poor ie almost non existent.
I have relied on the pictures which also have diagrams showing measurements for cutting.
I usually dissasemble the loco and just simply sitting down and think it out over a few days before I do any cutting.
These days with the internet you can contact SB-Faulhber and they help translate the instructions for you and some actually come in English.
I did my first three conversions 10 years ago because there were no conversionn kits for those locos - just the basic 6090. Now I am converting locos that have already been converted into 5 pole but I am not happy with their performance in regard to slow speed running smoothness and quietness. Some are definitely OK and do not need converting.

regards

Diesel

Deisel,
I replied to your post and I could see the text and could see the spaces where there shouls be no spaces.
I will reply to your post again and I will take out the Enter Space.

unfortunately I cannot see any text when the picture does not show - just the square and red X. My web browser must be set up differently.
I feel that I have worked out how to insert the pictures consistently and can check using another computor which is also connected to the net but not networked to this one. I have also written a few notes to refer back to in future.

Diesel

Hey Nev
That is great. Now I can see the original text and the differences in the photo locations that I used. I did not realize I could edit a message once I had posted it.
Computors never cease to amaze me.
Thanks again and I am now converting my old e191. A little tricky but I feel it is much easier than computor logic.

Regards

Diesel
