Hi
my Q1 is now in need of a new Motor, the old one still runs but gets rather hot and trips the decoders thermal protection.
I looked on DCCSupplies site and they don't list a motor, the only Q1 part they list is a motor cradle, which they also state is for the 9F, I did a quick check under 9F and they list a motor for that, so I assume if I get the 9F motor and 9F/Q1 motor cradle it should fit, right.
except the decoder socket PCB on the Q1 goes under the motor but on the 9F and just about every other Dapol steamer I have seen have the decoder PCB leaning against the back of the motor at an angle, so if the Q1/9F motor mount is correct how is it supposed to fit the Q1 as it does not have the recess for the decoder PCB, or have I missed something obvious.
thanks for any help with this.
