This old Triang Jinty was sent to me by Darren. It was his first ever locomotive and no longer runs. Can I make it go again? www.buymeacoff... 00bill.wordpre...
Mate, just the ticket to have a crack at my old man’s same model. He bought the train set before my older brother was born and never let us play with it. He’s been long gone and now it’s mine. Choo Choo!
Mine is also one of 2 engines dad bought second hand back in the late 70's. Its still running and is cruising around my layout as I type this. So many memories attached to this little Jinty. Cheers, Mon from Brisbane
Those footsteps are so vulnerable to damage. Have many models with one or more missing. Always assumed I'd have to fabricate out of plasticard, but moulding might work... And certainly the idea of moulding new chimneys is a thought. Suggestion to the 3D printing enthusiasts reading this: please try printing replacement chimneys for Caly Pugs, Holden 101's, Jinty's and Pannier tanks. There are thousands of models out there with broken chimneys!
my first locomotive was a triang jinty it will now by approaching its 60th birthday, it has been "in storage for the last 34 years, I actually had it out yesterday, some signs of life but no movement- inspired by this video, may give it a go or look for someone more competent to get it working again
Really good repair, especially the chimney. Such a jolly little loco. Like many others, I have a similar vintage Jinty that came with broken steps on one side. I didn't know about that clever putty stuff so I made the steps out of styrene sheet, laminated and filed into shape. Pleased it took to the modern track so well. 😊👍
Nice job, Bill! Great to see a veteran Triang loco given new life! Runs really well given the oversize flanges. I’m sure Darren will be very pleased with it!
Nicely done. Takes me all the way back to June of 63 when i got my first train set. Same loco, two wagons, a brake van and hey presto hooked for years.
This is definitely an old engine. Pre 1960 with the split framed chassis. Well done on fixing the chimney and steps. Could you put a small piece of plasticard behind the steps and glued on to the steps/body to give it a bit more support if it got knocked The chassis is missing a screw between the rear 2 wheels on the left hand side. You can see where the counter sunk hole is on the chassis plate. You are right about the screw holding the body on. It should be a flat top and a chamfered underneath to fit a bit lower in the chimney. I do not think that the Jinty in real life was ever lined out. Except possibly when preserved. So it really just needs the BR logo and numbers as you mentioned.. Again another engine saved from the scrap bin plus great job with the Miliput.
I found one of these in my cupboard the other day. not only are there pieces missing (like side rods, meaning it doesn't move), but it's also severely deformed (plastic warping) I could probably repair it if I wanted to, but I'm not sure it's worth trying. The only thing it really has going for it, is the fact that it's old, and possibly rare.
excellent repair! especially using miliput on the chimney and wizard idea making a mould of the steps! I have repainted, renumbered and put decals and lined green locos in the past but i prefer 'repainting' unlined black locos these days! that was a seriously old Triang Jinty and yes it was great to see it running again!
I have one that I've brought to life learning from you. My Dad gave me mine as a kid in about 1974. My chimney has gone too... I need to get a new chimney possibly from another body, but I did see someone buy a glue on chimney, but where to buy them?
Hey Bill, great repair on this. Only just watched. Have you had any experience of the wheelsets in newer 0-6-0's - I've inherited a Thomas on 0-6-0 2009 chassis; narrowed a problem down to the wheels locking only when going forward (even when engine removed). Fixed it a bit by pressing in the crank pins; but its still making a good clunk as it rolls - wondered what could be the problem here? assume the crank pin was causing it to lock in place, any of your repairs cover this?
Have you tried "Blue Stuff" by Green Stuff World? The Blue Stuff is a reusable silicon mould that you just heat up with boiling water for a few minutes, press in the part that you wish to replicate and let it set for about 15 minutes to get your impression. You can then use the Milliput to create new parts, and it's really easy to separate the new part from the mould. The bonus it that you can then re-heat the Blue Stuff and create new moulds as many times as you like!
Also, for many years, I have used for moulding, Halfords car resin mixed with a little red hardener and filled if necessary with metal powder or fine sawdust
Bravo. One modest suggestion. If you had some way to monitor current draw [inline ammeter] when diagnosing, you might notice a "short" and quickly focused further investigations. A quibble considering the beautiful plastic surgery you performed.
to clean bad wheels i connect a power supply at least 1A and 10v and use a low grit nail board as the wheels turn, they come out nearly mirror finish and completely smooth
@@PeterJewell2 yes i understand that, it's just emery board is finer, and softer. The brass brush needs a lot more skill, i wasted a hst wheel trying it i may try wet and dry 1500+ soon next time triang wheels are dirty. that and maybe even a cotton bud of brasso. I'll experiment it
Always a pleasure watching you do this kind of thing. Very impressed with how neatly you managed to do the repairs to the body with the putty. I've never tried milliput. Maybe I should try and get some.
Hi Andy, In case you still need a demagnetiser - Look up Ronald Dodd on UTube. Ronald is an expert on Hornby Dublo and markets the remag unit you see Bill using in this video. You will need to email the very helpful guy and he should be able to quote you for a unit. His email address appears with each video he has posted. There is a vid demonstrating the correct method for using this equipment. I have had one in use for about 2 years and it has been a great help, keeping my fleet of locos in service. Happy Modelling, T 🚂

Choo Choo!
I remember having a jinty from the 1960s with smoke. It was so fast. It came with the car transporter set, had it for years.
That’s a great looking little engine!! Good job turning it into a good runner.👍🇨🇦
Lovely work Bill. never seen miliput used before. and to see the Jinty go again.....great stuff......thanks for sharing Tony
Mine is also one of 2 engines dad bought second hand back in the late 70's.
Its still running and is cruising around my layout as I type this.
So many memories attached to this little Jinty.
Cheers, Mon from Brisbane
I still have my Jinty bought in 1953 and it still runs!
Makes my 1961 one an absolute youngster.
Great restoring someone’s pride and joy

The Tri-Ang Jinty in my view was the best robust and bullet proof loco , a real work horse
Impressive rebuild of the chimney and step Bill. Another good job.
I did a simalar repair to mine which I would not of thought about unless I saw you do it so thank you
my first locomotive was a triang jinty it will now by approaching its 60th birthday, it has been "in storage for the last 34 years, I actually had it out yesterday, some signs of life but no movement- inspired by this video, may give it a go or look for someone more competent to get it working again

Greetings from Dublin, on a binge watch of your videos all day mate.. keep em coming.

I don't remember Jinties being lined either.
Absolutely brilliant Bill! Terrific transformation, I bet Dan will be over the moon with that. 👍
Enjoyed that,now time to have a look at my own one that has not run for years which is also triang
Before the can motors arrived, the Triang XO4 was a really tough, handy and powerful motor. I started scratchbuilding in 1966.
Impressed with the rebuild of the chimney and steps, well done Bill
Cheers!
Chris
The rebuild was really interesting. Love the old trains and the life you put back into them
Impressive bit of sculpting with the Miliputt.
Omg was quite tense - nice job DrBill. You Deffo put the “Jint” back in the Jinty. She looked V Cheeky back on the Track 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome idea of making a mold!!
Another great repair of such a classic little engine.
Well done Bill. As you say, updating the decals would have been a true transfermation...
Inspirational, you have worked your magic again. Looks and sounds great on the layout. Lovely with the coaches. 👍
Hi Bill, Top of the class , nice repair, could see the smile back on the old Jinty, All the Best Brian
Fantastic job Bill. Really good repair
That chimney and step repair look great. First chance I get, I'm buying Milliput! Always enjoyed repairing Jintys. Cheers,
Another great repair done owner be very happy with the repairs
Runs so well with the large flanges, nice repair job 👏
My father-in-law gave me his Triangle Jinty with smoke generator I feel like this video will come in handy with getting it running again.
I found one of these in my cupboard the other day.
not only are there pieces missing (like side rods, meaning it doesn't move), but it's also severely deformed (plastic warping)
I could probably repair it if I wanted to, but I'm not sure it's worth trying.

Another top notch job, thanks for sharing.
Excellent job well done 👍. A fantastic piece of repair work. Maybe some talc in the mould might help it release easier.
Excellent repair job.
Very good job. This video was a pleasure to watch. And I like your layout too.
I have one that I've brought to life learning from you. My Dad gave me mine as a kid in about 1974. My chimney has gone too... I need to get a new chimney possibly from another body, but I did see someone buy a glue on chimney, but where to buy them?
Once again a very good an instructional video. I always look forward to your content.👍
Very impressive,the owner is going to be a happy chappy
Hey Bill, great repair on this. Only just watched.

Much better than the Playdough which only lasted a certain time before becoming 'manky'.
Also, for many years, I have used for moulding, Halfords car resin mixed with a little red hardener and filled if necessary with metal powder or fine sawdust
There's a good video about Blue Stuff here: th-cam.com/video/mVZLXLaidjQ/w-d-xo.html
hi bill, i had one of these in the early 60s, a great all rounder loco, i now have one made in Margate 1968, still going
Another job well done. Nice body repair too :)
Bravo. One modest suggestion. If you had some way to monitor current draw [inline ammeter] when diagnosing, you might notice a "short" and quickly focused further investigations. A quibble considering the beautiful plastic surgery you performed.
Looking forward to this
nice Milliput work. I have used thin cork pices on the insife of the body to reduce noise ans rumble to some extent
Would you ever consider trying to reduce the depth of locomotive wheel flanges on older triangle Hornby tank engines?
Nicely done, Bill !! Is that a real guitar behind your workbench or an ornamental one?
Great repair mate with a chance to show your modelling skills.👍
you did it proud
Great modelling skills there Bill
Nick Australia
another great vidio bill enjoyed watching regards sam woodward
Great job.
Very good job there.
really enjoyed this one mate... great tranformation
Hi Bill, I've a triang jinty that needs attention, would you be ok to look at the model? Thanks Ian.
to clean bad wheels i connect a power supply at least 1A and 10v and use a low grit nail board as the wheels turn, they come out nearly mirror finish and completely smooth
The idea of using a brass brush is that it is softer than the metal of the wheels and hence will not scratch them.
@@PeterJewell2 yes i understand that, it's just emery board is finer, and softer. The brass brush needs a lot more skill, i wasted a hst wheel trying it
i may try wet and dry 1500+ soon next time triang wheels are dirty. that and maybe even a cotton bud of brasso. I'll experiment it
Great job done on that old Jinty. Now to subscribe :)
Very impressive!
Nostalgia, my dad bought mine back in the early 60's, still going strong
Always a pleasure watching you do this kind of thing. Very impressed with how neatly you managed to do the repairs to the body with the putty. I've never tried milliput. Maybe I should try and get some.
Good job Bill!!
Lovely job 👍😁
Hi where do you buy the decals from .
Not bad at all. That chimney screw is an atrocity mind you.
Hi Bill could you do a video on up grade to a 5 pole motor pleeeeeze
My very old Jinty wiggles it's way around the track and has very thick flanges but who's got the motivation to swap wheels on a six pound purchase...?
Hi - Mine doesn’t have a screw in the chimney - how do I get the body off??
Does it have a screw in the side near the front?
@@oobill hi - yes it does! Thank you - That was well hidden - I’m in, still not working, but I’ll keep trying!
hi, great video. do you know where i can buy a remanetiser, please. i cant find one. thamks

That bolt looks as if it came from an electrical socket!
