Hello, ever since I started model railroading, I’ve wondered why American couplers are engineered to work so miserably?, 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well done! I enjoyed your video 👍

How do you suck the waste water for the first time? So the water can come out by itself

congratulations on the fix

I can hear a slight pitch in the sound, but that should work itself out with plenty of running in time. Great job Tim!!

Wow that doodlebug just wasn't happy with you working on it lol got it to run and It killed the gears

I just subscribed.

HOwdy. Great stuff. I'm detailing a dozen F-7A's and a couple of F-7B's. Ten #80 holes in the tops of each A loco (14 for B unit-all hand drilled) after removing the nubs molded in and installing the lift rings. Each gets grab irons, window glass, nose & top lift rings, MU & air hoses, coupler lift bar and wired for dcc w/o sound. I finally got my AliExpress order which was some 0402 SMD prewired LED's with resistors and my circuit board. I got the circuit board (copper on top of some substrate) which are about 6"X5" and I cut 1/2" wide strips off with my mini table saw. I then cut them up into four pieces and use my razor saw to cut a strip down through the center thus separating the two halves electrically. I then solder positive wires from the trucks & positive motor wires to the plus side and solder negative wires from the trucks and the negative motor wire to the negative side. Makes wiring easier for future dcc installation. Plus it makes a very neat and compact installation. I'm using this on an Athearn locomotive and super glue the circuit board to the top motor clip. I'm on my next installation for another Athearn. You can cut across the board and add a resistor between the cut and now you have the power with current limiting resistor to power front and rear lights, number boards, etc. Cut across where you have the motor hooked up and you isolate the motor from the rest of the board. I usually solder the motor leads on the rear of the board so they can be isolated easily and next the truck pickup wires. The front part gets the wires for the LED's. Cheers from eastern TN

I have the Hornby pannier tank

Nice collection Tim. Great stuff 👍

Always fun to get more toys!

Nice haul Tim. Lima did a good job with their King Class locos, yours even has the bell insitu. I don't mind tender drive locos, people think they are poor runners, but mine all run really well. Steven.

The Tri-ang Class 3F Tender will have larger flanges so won't like newer Points. She was designed for code 125 Series 3 and Super 4 track. The Hornby Pannier Tank may have the same issue, still being of Tri-ang tooling. All 3 new loco's are in great condition. Great additions. 👍

Those little steamers are like the first one's I ever had in Scotland. Very nice.

Happy New Year Tim!. And welcome to the Doodle Bug club! lol.(I have a couple)

Anothe interesting collection of motors, crane, engine etc. Nice Engineering train. 👍 Happy New Year Tim. All the best for 2025.

How are you using a remote with a pump?

Heya Tim!. Those MDC/Roundhouse locomotives are great runners!. I had one years ago, that had a factory applied circus train paint scheme...but it was so ugly, I had it stripped and given a good black paint job,lol.

Blimey. You blokes whining all the time. Nice cranes. You blokes only have 2 axles per "wagon". When we change from plastic to metal wheelsets we have 4 per "wagon" as you blokes call a piece of rolling stock. Been building up my MOW fleet and have about 15 cars of various kinds in HO scale. Just got 4 new engines for Christmas. 3 MRC (Model Rectifier Corporation) EMD F-7's, 2 are FP-7A's & 1 F-7B. Got one Athearn FP-7A Amtrak to pull my Amtrak coaches. I really love the MRC models as they were the top of the line several years ago. They have 5 pole skewed armatures in a can motor, see through Farr grilles, all grab irons installed except for the eyebrow and front grille grabs. Also you can clip off the fake lift rings on top and add your own real ones. They have interiors and are already wired for DCC; just add a decoder of your choice. All mine came from fleaBay but are in excellent to new condition. I got each engine for under $50.00/each including shipping. Merry Christmas. Cheers from eastern TN

Awesome video

Awesome new locos Tim. Got to love the all wheel pick ups for slow yard switching.

Nice additions Tim. Run well. Happy Trains. 👍

Nice addition Tim. Should be racing trains from here on in. 👍

nice cranes Tim

Nice MOW cranes! I'm still in search for one for my HO Rock Island layout. Trying to find a very nicely detailed one. The joys of trying to find 'the one' LOL

Great additions Tim. Very nice indeed. They Run well too. I've been trying to fix my version of the 2 car crane without sucess. Glad yours are complete and in good working order. Happy Trains.

DMU's excellent for a ringfield...

g'day from Canada Tim ;-)

Very nice Tim! Also no I don't read the newspaper sent, but I do keep it so when we paint something where we need to tape/wrap something.

Look forward to seeing the repaired cranes Tim 👍 Happy Modelling

Really nice trains Tim. Looking forward to seeing the steam loco running.

Good stuff Tim. The B12 body and tender look genetally in good condition. R.866 from 1970 to 1979. The number on the body is not always the catalogue number as it was too hard to change the body mold for different livery of the same model. I just rebuilt a B12 Chassis for that model, same colour Apple Green wheels. That DMU runs great. Nice collection. Happy Trains 👍

Dont know how I missed this one Tim. Soldering with an 'ol' rather than sardering with 'ar'? 🤔😅 Good progress. 👍

Nice one Tim. Most of my wiring is for lighting. It's either on or off 😅 Happy Trains 🚂🎉

I like how neat and organized the wiring is. I think that is important for the future in case you have electrical problems. Seems easier to trace. Great video and subject.

Hi Tim great vid, I do the same thing except I run the switch through the negative side so I don't have 12 volts running permeantively through the switches Cheers Mark

Nice!!

Very nice, I enjoyed watching 👍🏻

Best 👌

Excellent system. I used a similar siphon system with the same 1inch clear hose to connect my sump to the aquarium and works perfectly. No need for drilling or worries about overflows during power outages, etc. Only I could not get the push connectors locally so I used pvc elbows and fittings and silicone to make it airtight and clamped the joins using either clamps or cable ties depending on the situation.

Nice job Tim. Loco runs smoothly.

That's a great fix Tim. Well done.

Whoop! Whoop!! Thanks for the shout out. Orange diffuser is for white people so the light dont make us look like ghosts. Didn't realize I was not subbed yet, so I hit the button and a thumb up. I need to figure out how to do a amazon associates link like you got. when you make the lights brighter the aperture on the camera changes and makes the image darker. I run my lights at 50% Take care Tim!!

Heya Tim, Liked and subscribed!.

Love the new lights tim it makes seeing all the little details pop out much better! I might have to add some to the new setup

Have we finally converted you to diesel? lol. I bet that thing is as dry as a bone inside. Get your lube out!

Brilliant video

What’s your method for dechlorinating and heating the new water please?

I've yoused your idea while ago. It works like a charm thanks!

Great collection Tim. Really good to see them rolling along on the track too. Excellent. Happy Modelling 👍
