Hi bill just to let you know that sir dinadan arrived today and it looks great I have a southern region coach which looks great with sir dinadan and runs beautifully thanks for your time and patience in fixing it for me
There's just something so nice about repairing a poorly loco, and have it run on the railway with a fellow classmate or another engine it would have worked alongside with
I must say that your layout appears more complete and great looking every time you show it. Such a basic repair, makes you wonder about whoever took it apart the first time. Still, at least it gave you the opportunity to finesse it and show it running nicely. 😊
I have a little book of British steam locomotives in 1958 and the J83 is in there. Origin: North British Railway Introduced: 1900 Driving Wheel: 4'6" Purpose: Light Freight and passenger shunting at Waverley Station. Power Classification: 2F. They were at former North British sheds in the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas so it's no surprise that OO Bill already has one. In 1958 the numbered series was 68442-68481 with gaps due to scrapping with the Hornby engine shown here as one of the later built ones.
Hi Bill ,, I got 1 of these J83's the other day along with a battle of britain spitfire and a couple of carriages ,, 1 being a green southern railways coach with guards compartment and a morone lner carriage with guards compartment too. The spitfire only needed a clean up and runs like it is brand new and these rarely are quiet but this one is quiet compared to the other spitfires i have. When it came to getting the J83 going it needed a good thorough pull down and cleaning. There were also brass bearings on the axles and these were actually stuck hard on to the axles and all 6 were seized solid. I give them a good swoosh of wd40 contact cleaner and with a small grab with the long nose pliers they all come free. They all made a small crack sound when they freed up so im presuming maybe that someone may have glued the bearings together onto the axles possibly. The axles and bearings freed up good but wanted to check if they were glued or not so I ended up pulling the wheels of the one side of the axles and pulled the bearing off to check the inner side of the bearings and even took pics with a magnifier app i have on my phone and I could only see a small bit of conjealed grease or oil but no superglue remnants anywhere and the axles themselves looked brand new and shiny. Maybe the crack noise was just the bearings freeing up from not being run for over 40 years. Anyhow its all back together and runs quietly too just like the spitfire does. The only trouble was i had to get them silly copper wipers pickups that hook into the plastic base plate underframe that screws to the chassis was a bit a pain to sort but was all good in the end. Yet another good and informative video. Thankyou. Cheers from John in Australia.
A simple rebuild for you Bill, I do like the tower on the the hill, looks great and a bit different to to the housing estates which most modelers try to make.
Great Video as always Bill, can you do a video on the progress off the layout itself because it looks really superb you have completed a lot more scenics which really looks nice, regards, Colin.
I got a hornby b17 that uses a ringfield motor and the motor releases allot of smoke when turned on is that fixable or is the motor done for buying a new one from britain would take a extremely long time cause i live overseas
Hi Bill ..Firstly `Happy Burns Night` ,,,,That`s a nice loco and nice and easy to work on ,i`ve got one somewhere which needs a scoosh and clean🤣🤣 ,,plenty of room in the cab for the crew ..The layout is coming on leaps and bounds , who makes the garage ?

Another great repair video Bill! Enjoyed the view of Mallard in the siding along with the other shed at 14:50 👍
I have always admired a man who could spot a bit of jiggery faffery Bill. 😁😂
Really appreciate these repair videos, they have recently helped me with a badly running jinty and some non working lights on a Class 158 👍🏻
I love myself a Eastern region tank engine
Your modelling skills are some of the very best I've seen...
🙂🙏🇳🇿
Nice new angles on the layout. Looking smart!
Great job on the loco. I always find it very satisfying getting them working again

Lovely little locos, especially considering they are of the Railroad type. great running session with them. Thanks.
Loved the shot of the 158 leaving
A perfect description of jiggery pfaffery . Very good .
Some great new camera angles on the layout. It is coming together nicely. 👏🏻

Great video bill 👍 the loco runs very smoothly 👌. And the layout is looking amazing 👏
This may be a stupid question but how did you immediately know that the wheel set was on upside down and back to front?
The oiling points (wee bits that stick up on the rods at each axle) were pointing down not up.
Sometimes you get lucky and the fix is simple.
Good work.
The layouts looks great Bill.
Happy Modelling

Aha... Been there before when tinkering. Good to see the repair videos make a return. Cheers 🍻

great video. Thank you !
Layout is looking fantastic
Sláinte Mhath and thanks for your videos.

It probably just needs a good clean. It's the dirt that smokes not the motor itself.
hi Bill. great video, can't believe these clowns put the rods on upside down.
Why are they clowns?
😅great little engines the jintys
Jiffery faffery! 😊 Never heard that word at teacher training college!
Also, at 10:42 is that a Pele Tower?
Yes. It was on my old layout as well.
@@oobill It's an interesting, historic building. What brand is it?
How is the good lady doing
Better every day thanks.

It's the Gaugemaster Fordhampton kit but with different pumps and totem.
Has the shed dog got a name
Shug
Absolute joy to watch. How's Mrs. 00Bill getting on?
