Woodlock Logging

A little bit of potting up to make the house side siding more aesthetic.

A little bit of autumn sunshine.... Bit annoyed as it looks like I'm going to lose a feature conifer....

Winter Maintenance. Henry Hoovered out the gunk and leaves from point work. Oiled the slide chairs. Cleaned the track. And any other general maintenance. 1 seized point motor that is struggling to move the blades, tried adjusting and oiling but no such luck.

Good day for it. I'm doing exactly the same whilst the weather holds. Nice to see one of my kidnapped locomotives hard at work

As often as not the seized motor if it is EPL can be recovered, it could be crud in the rack or rust within the metal where the cylinder with magnet inside rotates. Recently sorted a couple by taking fully apart, cleaning out the rust some silicone grease then used to give good rotation and was working again after cleaning out the contacts with a small file. Look out for unsoldered wire from the contacts to the armature. Note when you pull apart the small spot that is used to stop rotation whilst moving the rack and the side bits where the longest outlet is at the front.
