Re: Rivarossi FEF-3
It does seem to have enough power, but I want smoothness... can you give me more data on your Sagami conversion? I also picked up a Big Boy at the same time, it has a center Can motor that is butter

Re: Rivarossi FEF-3
Nathan, The motor in the FEF-3 is the large one in all of their UP large steam and is actually quite powerful and cool running, but... it only has three poles. I fit a sizeable Sagami in mine. It

Re: Rivarossi FEF-3

Hey gang- I just got a Rivarossi FEF-3 at the train show today and I notice that while it has the RP-25 flanges, it seems to have the older design of motor. As such, I find its performance to be a

Re: Teardown Instructions - Rivarossi Milwaukee F-7 4-6-4
These Hiawathas were 90's runs, and they had very good Japanese can motors made by Igarashi. The old Riv made motors were made for cab mounting, and had one mesh brush and disk type commutators with

Re: Teardown Instructions - Rivarossi Milwaukee F-7 4-6-4
The reason I know of all this noise is because I had my radio on a weak AM station , those motors made lots of emi . Back when there was a kit for supperssion from AHM ? A choke was used across the

Re: Teardown Instructions - Rivarossi Milwaukee F-7 4-6-4
Dunno... what you see is what came to me off eBay a while ago. The motor is a perfect fit in the chassis/retainer, so suspect factory original. Regarding interferance/shielding- is that with all

Re: Teardown Instructions - Rivarossi Milwaukee F-7 4-6-4
That looks really good. Was this converted or is it a newer version with that nice can motor? That doesn't look like most Rivarossi engines I have seen. Vic Bitleris Raleigh,

Re: Teardown Instructions - Rivarossi Milwaukee F-7 4-6-4
Yeah, I think so too. If you watch the brush end you can see it sparking. It may be related to that strange screen brush they have on one side? Vic Bitleris Raleigh,

Re: Teardown Instructions - Rivarossi Milwaukee F-7 4-6-4
Quick test this evening. I don't think I'll bother re-motoring. Sounds pretty good, even at full-speed, 12V: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YiY2RLHCy3pBgz6ppMCWbCwKJjVgdd4z

Re: Teardown Instructions - Rivarossi Milwaukee F-7 4-6-4
Thanks very much for the effort! I'll still need to decide if it's worth re-motoring this for even-better performance, or leave as-is for simplicity. I'll probably try to run the mechanism this

Re: Teardown Instructions - Rivarossi Milwaukee F-7 4-6-4

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to, since the attachments don't show in my first post or the attachments section. That used to work. As for the album, I deleted it after it resized the larger
