Ronald just letting you no buying your magnetiser machine was the best thing I have purchased the difference. It makes an incredible after servicing. My three rail. Locos putting in new brushes and springs in and cleaning it after watching your videos which really helped me.😢
I've had mine since 2017 and it's one of my favourite modelling tools. I can't imagine how many old Hornby Dublo locos are running well again because of you, Ron. Thanks again. Kev.
Hi Ronald I for got to let you now after joining the HRCA hornby club the spares catalogue is really help me purchasing, my parts for my models and magazines, I really enjoy reading once again. Thank you Ronald Colin
Hi Ronald good morning after watching your excellent video on your magnetising tool and after purchasing one yesterday, this will help me out a lot to do all my Hornby dublo locos so thank you very much Colin.
Just acquired one used from ebay without multimeter. Already revived one of my Triang Bo Bo motors. Happy with the price I paid and it should pay for itself with my ageing fleet. Thanks for making these Ronald.
Hi Ronald, just so happens that I figured out how to re-mag the ring field magnets today by my own experimentation. Your magnetiser did a great job on my original 1971 Evening Star magnet for the ring field tender drive. The original magnet would barely attract the needle on the compass so it took a bit of figuring out. I ended up checking with iron filings (old school style). The Evening Star is back to tip top form. So I have to smile when you tube suggests this video tonight! 8 hours too late! But never mind. Your magnetiser continues to be put to good use and my old motors still run like new. Kindest regards Mal
My magnetiser arrived here in Spain today, so perfect timing! Thanks Ron, excellent demonstration of how to use it properly, and thanks for the excellent quick service..
Thanks Mr Dodd. I have had mine in Spain only a few weeks. A great little piece of kit. Already started to pay for itself in the savings of sending locos to the UK to be remagnetised. So simple to use and so effective. I consider it to be a great investment. Thanks. D
A superb video. Really informative! My loco collection has grown substantially in the last year, so I really should think about purchasing one of these. Once the layout is up and running, I imagine most of the locos will need a thorough remagnetising.
Thanks for the update, I have been wondering whether I could do my ringfield motor magnets. This is indeed a very useful gadget and I’m glad I bought one.
PLUS you can pop a screwdriver in instead and magnetise that, useful for holding or picking up screws and other things! Works a treat on my Hornby-Dublo locos too!
An exemplary video, thank you. Your device will have kept countless locomotives from premature retirement. Very useful part of my servicing kit. Seeing the Ringfield magnetisation, would it actually matter if the magnetic field was out-of-alignment? If the magnet is completely circular (like more modern Lima./Hornby), presumably it doesn't?
Yes it is most important that you retain the correct magnetic alignment as this reacts with the magnetic coils in the rota that switch according to their position on the contact carbon brushes.
@@Raedodd5 - Ahh yes. As I've just seen in a comment somewhere else, the ring magnet field must be perpendicular to the brushes. Would be good to see a demonstration of magnetising a Hornby (or Lima) Ringfield motor magnet, as these are completely circular.
At last I’m going to be able to get hold of one of these! I’m asking for this for my 60th birthday. Do you have a listing on eBay Ronald? I haven’t been able to find it. I’m sure there was one when I looked last year?
Hello there Ron. Interesting video. My Hornby ringfield motors only start moving when the power controller is over 50%. Is this because the magnets are no longer strong enough ?. Would your remagnetiser work on these ringfield magnets made in margate in the 80s and early 90s. If so I would love one .many thanks Paul
I can attest that these magnetiser are brilliant and have given a new lease of life to my locomotives. Do you have a video up for servicing a Wrenn 2-6-4? I just can't get mine to run well, the motor makes a lot of noise despite adjusting the bearings and changing the balls, when it runs it slows down to a stop or shoots off at high speed. Thanks Mike
Hi Ronald i’ve just purchased the west country class it was going the wrong way so are used the magnetiser a purchase from you. I think I made a mistake. The loco was running great but the wrong way I am a subscriber to your channel what I should have done watch this video on magnetising what I did I put the full locomotive in the machine since then,the loco doesn’t run can you help me on this matter Ronald? Many thanks, Colin.
Hi Ronald it Colin again sorry I forgot to tell you after watching the video I stripped loco down, taking out the magnet use magnetising machine as you showed in the video put the logo back together as I said in my last message to you and Loco doesn’t run now Colin.
@@colinsuffolk9161 Hi Colin, There is no need to remove the magnet but you need to remove the motor complete via the underside screw. Enough of the magnet can be seen to re-magnetise. If running backwards then turn the motor 180 degrees and zap again. As you have disassembled the complete motor you will need to check that it is turning freely both out of the chassis and in the chassis and the brushes and their springs are correct. Try remag again as above. Ron
@@Raedodd5 hi Ronald thanks for getting back to me. I will check the motor is running free I will take the motor of the chassis and re magnetise it to get it into the right direction if I still have a problem if the locomotive still doesn’t run as I said it was running before I worked on the locomotive againI I will let you now the outcome again Ronald thanks for all your help. Colin.
@@Raedodd5 hi Ronald many thanks for your help it’s all sorted now locomotive running in the right direction converted to 3 rail. Running great you’r re magnetiser tool was one of the best investments I have made. I have a lot of three rail locomotives after watching your videos on service on them. My collection are running really nice and smooth once again thanks for all your help. Colin.
Just came from 00bill's video. I'd seen you using it before but had no idea you actually sold them until now. I think I need one of these ! How much are they ? And can you ship to France?

Thanks Ronald. Even after using the magnetiser for several months I found one or two of you tips quite useful.
Excellent video Ron. As usual very precise and methodical. Your magnetiser is definitely a value for money investment.
Thank you Kevin for your kind comments.
Hi Ron, received my magnetizer today. well worth the money. Works a treat.
Thanks Ron, a very helpful video. I’m enjoying the difference my magnetiser makes.
I have had mine for a number of years now and still gives reliable service,
Great video Ron been using our remagnetiser we bought from you a lot in the club and at shows we attend
Thanks for the update, I have been wondering whether I could do my ringfield motor magnets. This is indeed a very useful gadget and I’m glad I bought one.
Very informative video Ron I bought one of these earlier this year a great item cannot recommend it enough
great video, as usual very informative,gives me the confidence to service my own locos
Very interesting Ronald

I wish I could get y hands on one of these in Australia. I have 4 Hornby Dublo 3 rail trains I would love to get running again.
Hi, looks a very good machine. Would it work with the Hornby X9852 motor?
Hi Simon, can motors are usually made using 'permanent magnets' that cannot be magnetised and should not need it. The hint is in the name.
At last I’m going to be able to get hold of one of these! I’m asking for this for my 60th birthday.
Do you have a listing on eBay Ronald? I haven’t been able to find it. I’m sure there was one when I looked last year?
