Just located a supply of “Igarashi” can motors for re-motoring and I was wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with this brand ?
Johnboy standing by…awaiting your replies.
How does a Google search answer his question?
It doesn’t , perhaps you need some of this.
He asked if anyone has any experience with them, if you don’t, them move on to the next post Mr Google Link.
Geez
Obvious Man says, he has to do some home work. Read through the links. The answer “might” be there. I guess I have to spell it out.
I did not indicate I had an answer. He might even find many useful links.
I find many useful things when searching about model railroading by reading though many of the links and storing the links in favorites. I rarely have to ask a question in forums and am able to sometimes help other who are not aware of the possibilities from web searches.
Yahoo searches or Scroogle searchs work also.
Yes, I know some resent the search suggestions. I hope you feel better fter that.

Igarashi motors are used by BLI/PCM, Rivarossi, and probably a few others. They’re smooth running, reliable, and have decent torque. In my experience, they have a tendency to be super quiet in one direction, and then make an audible (but not loud) buzzing noise in the other. The torque isn’t as high as a Mashima or Canon motor of the same size, but it’s still a very good motor with enough power to drive even a large steam engine or diesel.
