my locomotive motor is quite hot and it's just crawling around my carpet layout
I have replaced the brushes last year and it's been in the box for a long time it's much faster in reverse I have tried the E unit lever forward and back ��

Hi Stewart, good to hear from you, If your engine runs faster in one direction than the other it is usually brush tension. I would try to adjust the brush springs to get equal RPM, usually you can check this using a tooth pick and pushing down on the brushes...
