Thanks for this Mike. This was just what I needed to get my Bachmann 25 running quietly again. An excellent description to get to the motor bearings. After a light oiling its now running smoothly and quietly. Really helpful :) Best wishes from New Zealand, David.
Great video and much appreciated as has answered questions about a Class 25 I brought on eBay. Runs well but in reverse as it seems the previous owner has removed the PCB and rewired incorrectly! At least now I know how to get inside and which wire should be going where…
great video mike was very well explained don't think i would have the confidence to do it my self but i is a joy to see someone else do it so well very interesting and really well put to together thanks all the best al 👍👍👍👍👌😀
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited I was running it on my model railway and my model railway club's layout and kept hearing this grinding noise on those two occasions, so I took It back to where I had bought it from and the guy (a nice person) checked it over and tested it, said that it needed a new motor, within a few days I got the loco back and now it runs brilliant (sorry for the really long reply)
Thank you so much for the tutorial. It was very helpful. I bought a second hand bachmann 32 class which had a very similar mech. It needed a good service as it was very noisy. Your method worked like a charm.
Very good, just replaced a motor on a class 25 as it sounded like a coffee grinder 😢 unfortunately the new motor from Bachmann isn’t any better. I think the motor is vibrating against the base plate on the chassis. I’ll have to keep investigating 😅
Excellent, what a great help, Loco now running like a sewing machine, thank you.
So glad to help

Cheers Al, glad you enjoyed it, not too bad a job if you know what to expect :)
I have a class 25 and the motor went on it. Its now been fixed and its a lovely little runner like you class 24 :)
Many thanks, how did the motor come to go then, usually very solid?

Another great and informative video! This could be your new career maybe? Thanks for this excellent step by step service guide.
Many thanks indeed, a few more planned as time passes
Thank you Mike, Similar to the Bachmann Spectrum North American locos of the same vintage. David.
Many thanks David!

Great information 👍
Thanks
