I absolutely wouldn't throw it away... super glue never seems to work well
for this kind of thing, but I'd imagine that's the first thing to try.
If it were me, when super glue inevitably fails, I might just use a screw through
the top, so I would literally use a small-ish flat head screw through the plate
and into the motor.
The other solution might be to glue a technique plate on top and don't use
the motor for something that needs to swivel, so you might use it in a tender
or some other section of train instead of the locomotive.
Ultimately it just sucks - I feel bad for you. These are rare components these
days, and I hate that LEGO stopped 9V - battery just doesn't do it for model
train enthusiasts.
Anybody have an idea how to fix this broken pin on a train 9v motor?
It's to good to trow it away...
Thx.
I'd use a soldering iron and would melt something like a Technic Pin or such.
Welding plastic works well.
Otherwise gorilla glue with baking soda really works to recreate matter.
thx for the tips, so...
I carefully drilled a hole in the top plate to glue another pin in but unfortunately
I hit the windings and now it doesn't work anymore so I can throw it away
:/
And then it’s loss would help benefit the catalog if it’s something you want
to do, feel free to let me know if you need any help and we can hope it’s not

I would have cut horizontal with a dremel type tool rather than drill vertical.
Or if no tool, maybe even just sanded it so the remainder of the pin was flat.
Then used that as a base to glue another cut down pin on to.
It might be worth keeping it for parts if you ever get other broken motors.

Best way is indeed to drill the broken bit out with a hole the same size as a
t3chnic pin which you can chop down and glue in place. Ensure as previously mentioned
that you get the right glue
