Train, hell yeah

U didnt even take the gears out.thats no restoration!!OMG

I do love that Bachmann GG1 in pristine condition and the layout with the Bachmann EZ-track is fine. I used that matt grass and painted the roads on with black spray paint plus used a white paint pen for traffic lines and it looked good. Great up-date, Jersey Bill

F40ph saved passenger railroading. Where is the gold tier?

cool car and a nice review :)

Hello👋

We can all agree that the Dash-8, F40 and Genesis are S Teir

I came across your videos .... Subscribed!!! 👍

That is a car I have not seen. Great video, Jersey Bill

Is it just me, or does the GTW paintscheme look nice & crisp on that model

The F40ph and the E8s are my favorite model of the train to watch and to draw a picture of

On the reverse unit in the tender, make sure the rotating drum is clean and contact fingers are making contact with the contacts on the drum, In the engine make the brushes are making good contact with the commutator , sometimes you have take the brushes out clean them and the commutator plates , The item you have with the motor looks like Lionel whistle, if you blow into the opening you should heir a whistle sound

Where did you get that train

You can run the o gauge loco on dc, it will just run a little bit hotter. And the s guage loco is also ac powered and will do the same on dc power. Although that Bachmann transformer will probably not be enough power to run them, try using a higher voltage transformer to power them. Good luck!

Based on the couplers the Lionel stuff is very late pre-war, say 1938-41. The couplers could be un-coupled remotely using a piece of push button accessory track. When production resumed in 1946 they'd switched to a knuckle coupler.

Looks like you have a large project on your hands so have fun. Jersey Bill

Nice video man but i need help with my athearn bluebox SP45, the couplers on it suck and i dont know how to open the coupler box thing like theres no screw on it or anything, do you know how to open it?

Very Nice.Tyco was my First train. Silver streak Alco... ❤❤❤

I love Athearn blue box locomotive.I have 4 Athearn blue box locomotives.❤ Greetings from Brazil

Depending on the space that was left after the weight was cut off, re-balance it with a motorcycle wheel weight and another crazy glued to the top of the inside shell roof. Run for a hour or so for the lub to work it's way through and put a little nox contact on the pick ups and slow starting should improve.

The motors in those engines are very poor, & I think they are 3 pole.A can motor would SIGNICANTLY improve the slow speed

These later Mehanno- made AHM locos are seriously underrated. They had a remarkably good mechanism for a toy grade locomotive.

Great Restoration Video.

The Swiss 🇨🇭 did not make any Locomotives for Amtrak so far. The RC-4 is Swedish 🇸🇪 😉

A thick white towel to lay these models on is extremely helpful, in keeping them from getting damaged while working on them to keeping tiny screws from getting scattered and lost. I've saved many a tiny screw just be having a white towel under the item I was working on! Nothing worse than to hear a tiny screw "bounce" on a hard tabletop and then it's like GONE... Just saying.

That 0-4-0 is a Lima model

I'm pretty sure it's Lima I have a similar one

Awesome video. Very enjoyable and I feel very much more informed after watching this informative video, which made me feel very much more informed after watching this informative video, which made me feel very much more informed after watching this informative video 👍🏼

This is a European locomotive with a Ring-Field motor. You can remove the brushes by bending back the copper brush plates before removing the commutator cover, the brush plates are made of soft copper for this reason. I really like these motors, but they are noisy. I see that Luke commented below that it is a Lima locomotive and I agree. Lima is now part of Hornby, and the locomotive is probably 00 GAGE That runs well on HO track. The only difference to worry about is slightly deeper flanges. As for the gear, you can buy used by looking for ring field motor parts. I like the video and can't wait for the next.

Super. I am always looking for small steam locomotives for my railroads sugar mill, but I have never seen this 0-4-0 before in any hobby shop, store, garage sale, or catalog, and I'm pretty old. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Here is the manufacture: it’s a Lima! This things never die!

They call her Maria? I just called her No. 6 my entire life.

Super. My Bachmann 0-6-0 shifter and tender with a pancake motor actually ran pretty well for about seven years or so, then I managed to drop it on a concrete floor and almost destroyed it. The cab broke in half, all three plastic pieces holding the axles together broke, (Yep, the geared one snapped.) the front pilot and headlight snapped off, and the valve and drive gear got messed up. After I pouted for awhile, I decided to use that locomotive as a stationary steam and power source. My railroad loads, hauls, and unloads sugar beets, (Small heavy brown beads.) and uses a conveyor belt to load beets into two of the loading silos. I decided to use the 0-6-0 as power for the belt, which was already motorized and functional. I glued the locomotive back together with its backhead, but without a cab, fixed the driving rods and rear drive wheels only, and set it on a foundation by the conveyor belt. I then hooked a drive belt to the grooved traction tire driving wheel, and hooked the drive belt to the pulley on the conveyor belt. Success. The former locomotive actually drives the conveyor belt, and a fake generator, and looks pretty good as scenery also, fitting right in with the sugar mill, and may actually be a better power source for the conveyor than it ever was as a locomotive. The 0-6-0 has been operating the conveyor belt for about twenty years now, and is still doing a fantastic job. A beautiful gently used Mantua/Tyco 0-4-0 steam shifter with tender was purchased and took over for the 0-6-0. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.😅

Super. My railroad still operates five Athearn EMD SW-7 Bluebox switchers, bought back when Athearn identified them as SW-1500 locomotives. Three cows and two calves, almost fifty years old, call my railroad home. Two, a cow and calf set, had radial couplers installed to allow them to work the freight on the trolley line, which has 4 3/4 inch radius curves and is mostly paved street trackage in the city. Good job fixing a classic. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Check the Bakelite wheels they might have cracked and need to be stabilized with CA,

Great fix-it video!

Super. My railroad still has six surviving MU-2 truck drive (A single truck mounted motor with four wheel/two axle geared drive.) powered Mantua/Tyco locomotives in operation. (And one Powertorque drive, and a few steamers, but we won't go there.) Two Plymouth CR-4 center cab switchers, one EMD F-7A, (Featuring an Aussie designed MU-2 drive truck with the screw on, not rivited, bottom cover plate and sideframes.) one Plymouth MDT switcher, a Brill Trolley, and an EMD GP-20, along with a matching EMD GP-20 dummy, call my railroad home. These models are a joy to operate, and MU well with my more modern locomotives. These, and other locomotives, survived my youth (Many didn't.) to become part of my model railroad. All of them operate quite well, even at almost 50 years old. I added dynamic brake blisters to the two GP-20 locomotives, from Lionel HO GP-9s, (Easy, one piece.) as only New York Central had GP-20s without dynamic brakes. I also added lots of weight, (Trolley too.) windows, lighting, Kadee knuckle couplers, better horns, details, and a picture of me in the cabs and at the controls of everything. The trolley got RADIAL X2-f couplers mounted to it (Decades ago.) so that I could haul passenger, freight, or maintenance cars around the 4 3/4 inch radius trolley curves. (Awesome) About 10% of my locomotive fleet, and about 25% of my train cars, are Mantua/Tyco, and all are operated constantly, both inside and outside, even in the rain and snow, which gives them a realistic patina after all these years.

Super. Is that a Baldwin BP-20 Passenger Sharknose and matching "B" unit? Nice passenger train, I hope that you find more matching passenger cars. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Use your flat x-acto blade and pry right in the middle of the side and it will pop off easily.
