Roy,
You won't believe it but I missed that bit about shaping the brush
housing. It's taken a few moments to spot it on the chassis block
diagram this morning, but that might have something to do with a late
night. Typical for me is to do the 'difficult' and miss the obvious. The
motor is changed now, and it runs O.K. so I'll leave it as it is. I'm a
bit happier with the extra clearance of the wiring, especially as a
short there would probably burn out the chip. I've arranged the pickups
to run on top of the treads, so it acts as if it's slightly sprung, and
it runs like a dream. With this springing effect and the weight, as long
as the track is clean the pickup is totally reliable, which with
something running this slow is essential. It isn't going to be racing
round and round a circuit, so this smaller motor should be fine.

The motor housing of my LISTER kit should fit snugly over the motor,
just as
per the real thing. It does NOT 'stand up on short legs' - these only
serve to locate the housing on the bed casting. Providing the plastic
brush housing on the motor is shaped as shown in the instructions the
housing will fit. I've built plenty of these with no problems at all.
