RE: chipping a lgb crock for gorden
not the best photo, but i took 20, (and they were really bad)it shows 3 pins, we need 4, or, 3 pins and a wire..... at the mo-ment, its track power&motor feed combined, ..track power, .. motor feed.... we need to convert the 1st pin, seperate it from being a combined motor/track feed, into just a track feed,

as u can see, the top single pin runs across the pick up skates and bullets, it also acts as a direct motor feed....
the next pin down...., is more to the middle, this also picks up power, BUT misses the motor, and takes its power to the electrical gubbins in the loco,
underneith it, just visable, is the return motor feed pin, that comes back from the electrical gubbins... it CLEARLY dosnt touch any track feeds...
now would be a greattime to change any iffy bullets, grease , ect.

next up, brew, then, install the motor in the blockBE VERY , VERY CAREFULL TO MAKE SURE THE MOTOR SITS CORRECTLY IN THE BLOCK, failure to do so will result in a striped gear wheel.... the motor should lock into plasce, at the bottom off the motor, is a location pin, it sits in a grove/slot in the base off the motor block, if it wont sit down correctly(you can tell by rotating the wheels, they both shoudnt move, as the worm on the motor should be gripping them) you may need to remove more plastic were our new feed wire est/routs througfht the block....
