Hi Andy, Tony's website **LINK**

has flat belting for sale. You might be able to salvage teh original belt by using a joiner or by stitching it with leather thonging.

On my old electric motor driven Drummond M-type, I use a poly V belt in place of the flat belt and it works wonderfully. It is a PK7 profile belt, from memory. Not sure if they make them long enough to reach down to the old knee banger.

Tony's website also has lots of info on Drummonds here

Show us some pics of what you have got. They are great old lathes, a lot more useful than many would think for something so old.

Hello everyone,

Not true model engineering perhaps, but I wondered if anyone knew of a design for an impulse or electromagnetic magnetiser that I could construct.

One that could be used to re-magnetise the older style motors in Hornby-Dublo locomotives.

I am aware of the new rare earth magnets available as replacements, but they seem a little too powerful and cause cogging where I have tried them previously.

Many thanks
