Canon EN22 Replacement motor, Mabuchi SF-266SA UPDATE

Thanks for your input Ron!!

I read almost all of the posts in the RepowerRegear Groups-io site so I’m a bit behind finding the SF-266 motors.

I don’t run as much time on DCC as I do DC but I have rewired all of my locomotives for DCC most using the 8 pin NMRA socket. I went with the 9 pin JST for some of my E7s.

After reading the Repower site thoroughly I’m not as concerned with the interior cap as I was early on. I can’t run DCC on my layout until I finish my control panel project. I did set up a small loop on the floor of the hobby room and ran a dual motor Rivarossi articulated on DCC and I can’t see any problems with the BEMF.

The SF-266 seems to have more low end power than a EN22, both roughly draw the same amount of current within 10 to 15ma from 0 to 12 volts.
