I can only imagine if someone made replacement gears for all these old locomotives they'd make some good $

Hello over there❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂🚂✨🌟🤗

Thanks hope you also had beautiful Christmas

Lovely Henry. Happy Christmas to you both. Great layout

Thank you Henry for the video and giving us a ride in the cab it felt so real. Next time give the snake a free ride to the Harbour 😂

This penalty be a case of winding an armature for a tree, for your layout?

It's a fun idea to make a train operator run a penalty lap for running a red sign or causing a derailment. What other rules do you have and use while operating a train? When I was a teenager in the early 2000s I would love to role play driving the train as realistically as possible and coming up with different loads and things that would happen along the way on-board of my passenger cars. I always wished I could put a camera in the front, or in a passenger cabin while looking out of the window. Especially during night runs and I lit up the whole town with lights inside the houses and improvised streetlights with LEDs I glued and soldered onto ice cream sticks. Have you ever considered getting a modern mini action camera like the Insta360 GO? It can provide both a live stabilized image and record in high definition at the same time. You could even use FPV Goggles. It's probably a bit big to hide it on a locomotive without using special fiber optics so it's probably best hidden in a Caboose or freight -like car.

I've accidently stumbled upon your video, and just wanted to say I love your passion and enthusiasm for your track lay-out. Also like what you've tried to achieve with the backdrops of the local landscape you are trying to recreate. It's nice to a glimpse of what a train journey in 1960's South-Afrika must have been like. Greetings from The Netherlands!

Awsome Henry I like it

Hi Henry, the new camera did a good job filming your layout, it was interesting to see your behind the scenes details. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Ah, fantastic to see the set running again. Quite a feat in such an older set. All the best with the work on the roof and any improvements. Great stuff to watch, sir. Thanks again. Cheers!

Thank you for your patience and skill to repair the locomotive there, sir. It's always nice to see an older locomotive returned to life as well as the sort of wear and tear the motors can get. Much appreciated and thanks for the post in the Monday Club. Always appreciated. All the best, Henry and best wishes for you and the family. Cheers!

Hi Henry, its good to see these older Lima Train sets being brought back to life and running so well. Caheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

I Just repaird the exact same model, what does the rest of the train set look like?

Great job Henry I admire your skill and passion

Hi Henry, very enjoyable to watch your servicing and especially the Lima Chassis repair. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Wow trains from SA🇿🇦

This is far better than Tauraco00 Railway, I get feed up of Elizabeth droning on with that terrible piono music, good to see some proper SA railways.

Dankie Henry die goeie ou dae

Baie nice Henry,het die video geniet

Beautiful! Love it.

Hi Henry, very nice modifucations and repainting of the Locos and rolling stock. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Henry, it was very interesting watching your Lima Models running. You have a very nice selection of South African Locos and passenger Coaches. Thanks for sharing these with us. Cheers, Paul👍👍🙏

Never knew Life like Did SAR, I know tyco did Victorian railways trains though for Australia

Very nice Henry thank you very much

The Old railway token and loop system was also used in India, Australia, Gabon etc, It's still used in Serbia.

You have a lot of classic era model on your layout. There's going to be a lot of those old Unbuilt Pola, Airfix, Merit, Hoffmann, Kibri and Vollmer kits circulating for another good 40 years I bet. Lima locomotives and rolling stock also

I have one of those classic Pola/Tyco Dockside cranes. In fact gaugemaster now makes them

Great use of space

Thank you, sir. Congratulations! An impressive celebration of so much work and enjoyment. It's fantastic to have shared that and as ever, always a pleasure to see. All the best and here's to the next 200 videos! Keep safe. Cheers!

great station, nice interior! enjoyed the video :)

excelente, es una idea inicial para lograr electricidad para anuncios giratorios

Thanks Henry great stuff

The correct sq cm is 16380cm square not 164 cm sq.

Excellent models. Your dad was a really good modeller, not many SA model locos on the market.

Thank you very much Henry for giving us a closer insight to your layout. I would like to see your layout one, day in person

Thanks Henry I can watch your videos for hours

Thanks Henry the shunting process is quite interesting

Thanks Henry always nice to watch your videos

Lionel introduced their first HO scale ALCo FA in 1959. It went through a number of design changes and liveries over the years, before Lionel gave up on their HO line in 1966. In the 70s, now under General Mills' MPC division, Lionel tried offering HO trains again- the ALCo FA returned with a new drive system, slightly retooled shell, and both some new and old liveries. The mechanism was good initially but later cheapened with a pancake style mechanism, and ultimately Lionel abandoned HO again after 1978. In 1989 it briefly returned to house the Lionel Railscope. This model, the 0555, was offered in sets (but not seperately) from 1963 to 1965. The mechanism in yours, Lionel called "helic drive"- it was introduced with their 1963 diesels, and kept until sometime in 1964 or 1965 when they went to a crown gear drive instead. Prior to the helic drive, Lionel used rubber O rings, and instead of traction tires they had both trucks be powered. The rubber O ring drives mostly run very smoothly and quietly, but changing the belts is a pain. Lionel HO is pretty interesting, but it can be difficult to work with because most of the parts are no longer available, or only available at steep prices. Also awkward is that Lionel's HO couplers use non-standard pivots, and the shanks are set lower than a normal horn-hook coupler. I usually work around broken couplers by splicing replacement coupler heads onto the original shanks, but it's a lot of work to go through.

Amazing🎉

Hi Henry, this is lovely. I subscribed🎉

please show me how you make this

I'm guessing it dates from late 1950s.

You know to fix a loco Henry

Thanks Henry nice of you explain the shunting

Hello Christo, nee, ek is in Pietermaritzburg. Was in Bloemfontein gedurende 2005.

Middag. Is jy dalk van Bloemfontein?

Expectacular la vista desde la cabina, felicitaciones.

Thanks so much for sharing. Did you kit bash the Lima coaches to make the combi coach? Which (Kadee?) couplers did you use for the passenger cars and are they body or boge mounted? The 16A looks beautiful - did you use a Mehana chassis for it? Your layout looks great and I really enjoy your "sky" based backgrounds too. Hoping that you don't experience too many more blackouts when running the trains.
