@@SamsTrains Hello there Sam. one of your US viewers here. I wanted to say when it comes to reviving old model trains I'm just like you. I love what you're doing. Main thing why im contacting you though is because I'm curious to know what you did for a living before your YT channel had taken off to the point where it's at now? Please let me know because I would love to know what your pervious occupation was since you're so damned good at restoring these old model trains. Cheers and have a great one. Kind regards and best wishes, Dylan. 😁
That video was fun to watch. I love seeing old, nonworking locomotives brought back to life. You could do without the time limit, though. I would rather see you take the time to do a proper job and not have to cut corners because of time. Also, by not having to rush, you can take the time to show your repairs more clearly. I am definitely looking forward to your next repair video.
Hi Sam, only discovered your channel recently and I now find it compulsive viewing! 'Salvage or Scrap' adds another dimension! My last model train was a Hornby OO in the 1950s, that my dad had great fun building a permanent layout for! Unfortunately in 1959 we moved house and there was no space at the new home for the layout! That was the end of my train hobby! Keep up the excellent work your channel is so entertaining, I look forward to the next video. Thank you
Yay, Salvage or Scrap is back! I'm watching this while installing a sound decoder into a loco, and I'm glad I don't have such a tight time limit. I also find it interesting how old British model locomotives were built.
Those blue polystyrene packing things you use as a cradle are really useful for that. Though I've seen stalls at exhibitions trying to charge £10 for them- i found one lying on the street the other day, a quick rinse under the tap was all it needed!
Your trouble shooting and motor knowledge is impressive. Motors are a mystery to me. I enjoy watching your repair videos, but I personally prefer you working without such a tense time limit. Kudos!
Salvage or scrap is , Excellent.. but so much steam locomotives, can you do more a mix? Also can you review a new or old Hornby APT train please. Cheers
Hi Sam ,, I have great pleasure in cleaning and oiling all my new additions and i find that cleaning the wheels with loads of built up gunk on them is most gratifying and cleaning the bodies are just as gratifying but i use cotton buds and just normal kitchen bench cleaner and is safe with most paints and decals except for the really early triang locos and some carriages which the paint tends to run a bit. You can certainly tell if you have purchased a loco from a smoking house or not. I have also noticed that that most of the trains i buy have like a sweatly clothes cupboard type of fresh clean linen smell to them and these are mostly from the uk. Yet another awesome video there sam and keep them coming. Thanks heeps for the oarsum video. Cheers from John in Australia.
Really enjoyed watching you use your skills under pressure conditions! Great effort despite hard wiring the tender power wire! And it worked after its repair. Well done 🎉🎉
These always feel very early to mid 2000s project shows like mythbusters. There’s such A charming nostalgic feel. From the music to the title cards, it’s very refreshing in an odd way.
Time to right the wrongs of careless modelers! Good luck Sam, you are definitely gonna want it for this series as all of these locomotives to me look so darn beautiful. From TH-camr to TH-camr. 😉✌️
I honestly love this series- Idk why, but I’d like to see a sub series about the SOS locos in their saved condition, though I know it’s unlikely, as I know the salvaged locos are sold to a new home after the show
The demonstrating the strip down of the locomotive will be very useful to many new to the hobby and with the present prices of new locomotives the tutorial is good. But please forget against the clock with flashing lights and buzzers as I feel it detracts what is a worthwhile and useful video .
Sam I want to say I can't wait to see the repairs on the Ohio Loco with the Orange Cab roof( I don't know what class of logo it actually is) and the Adams Loco if you end up saving those 2 and the repairs go perfectly. I say you should keep those because 1. I would love to see you have another Adams Loco to go with the others that you have including that lime green one and that black one. 2. I would love to see that American Tank Engine I'm guessing. Alongside your other American Locos. I don't know you decide if you want to keep them or not I know I would because I love the detail on those Locos including the Ohio Tank Engine the detail on that one in my opinion is incredible.
"im panicking" XD Looks fine with its rusty-ish patina, anyway the lining was faded on the tender and it would have never looked as new. It should looks pretty great hauling a dirty freight train.
Hi Sam for a bit of fun as this is a new series to give yourself a bit of extra time on a salvage where an odd minute might save the salvage do the same as Unused phone data where you keep a total of the quick repairs unused time BUT when needed you can only use up to a maximum of say 10% of your total for 1 salvage at a time.
Like a regular exciting TV series. We're always chuffed to bits. Pfew, close call this time but the next owner can rather simply take it a step further if so wished. Must have been quite stressful!
Just as a note, it actually is a good thing to have a slight layer of carbon on the commutator. This is usually from the brushes, and acts as a lubricant to protect the copper contacts, and is conductive. As long as the gaps between the segments are clean, usually no issues. I am not sure why model railway people are so insistent on removing this carbon layer. Other commutated motors, in domestic and industrial use, don't ever get the commutators cleaned in the way model railway people do and they work absolutely fine.
hey sam i have a old triang railways blue and yellow double cab train it wont work and needs a repaint and fixing becuase idk what happend to it but idk if its dc or dcc becuase i got dcc layout
The Yorkshire version of the D49 is a very collectible model. If you find one and don’t like tender drive. The bodies are a straight swap on to loco drive Railroad D49s. They are if their era, but IMHO still nice locos for a layout. They are compact, with nice valve gear interest. Normally a lot cheaper than a more contemporary model of a passenger loco.
Mad restoration skills there Sam! Always good to see an old loco come back from the grave. (You paid £45 for it? Not like you to get the worst of a deal!)
i paused this at the start as these videos are good for when your eating dinner they are like how i used to watch dr who with my late mother back when i was a small lad mind you the food has gone up in quality lol my mothers food made for fine strong children but left alot to be desired!
I see you have a Lifelike 0-4-0 “teakettle” amongst the roster of locomotives. These models are notorious for having cracked nylon gears, good luck with that.😮
Have fun fixing the Life like. That is actually considered to be one of the worst model trains ever made. I got one brand new and it's actually pretty good but I've seen others which are in really rough shape. Word of advice get a weight for that model.
that GWR 2661 could easily pass as a Martin Mart-Mertinson locomotive like that GWR mogul. The Oxford Rail Adams Radial Tank is another I'm interested to see
I love this series, also I just realized what the Scrapman is saying: "I am... the Scrapman." Small request, could you move the Ebay link in the description one or two lines down? It shows up even when scrolled all the way up, and it gives away whether or not the loco survived the episode.
Sorry Sam didn't mean to spoil your fun It's the only locomotive I know out of the whole lot you have Can't wait to see which ones get repaired or which 1's get scrapped
Watched your videos for quite a while now, and always meant to ask, what's that white lubrication pen you use? Is it a store-bought item or did you customize something else into it?
Love to see this series back again. I've got a Hornby Thomas that I've had for easily 20 years now, that sadly doesn't work any more, and I'd love to be able to fix it up. Keep up the great content!
Hey, speaking of that "Ruinous Radial" (I'm assuming it's an Oxford one), can you please upload the files for those 3d printed motor brackets you came up with a few months ago? I'd love to make sure my Oxford radial doesn't wind up like the one on the Salvage Shelf
YES! Salvage or scrap is BACK! So good to see this wonderful series has made a comeback!
Thank you so much - hope you like the new episodes :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yaaaa IS BACKKKKKK

The time limit is a silly gimmick. I suspect the time is added after the fact in editing.

"Salvage or Scrap" is awesome. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Sam, as a newbie this is amazingly useful. Brilliant!
it's like a legit reality TV show. Love it!
I saw a Lifelike tea kettle in that starting lineup, in advance, good luck and Godspeed.

Great rapid work! You could simply describe the remaining rust a intentional weathering.
That was intense - You have gained a subscriber!
I’m delighted seeing how your able to salvage and restore these old models.
Brilliant as usual, Sam. You might find an ultrasonic cleaner useful for removing crud from engine bodies and wheels.

It’s back!!!!!!! This series is great!
Thank you so much!! :D
Good to see that this one got restored Sam, I have an old hornby tender driven d49 myself, it’s in the LNER green though and it’s a great runner.
Thanks so much David - ahh fantastic - glad yours runs well! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I think there has to be a Transatlantic collaboration between you and smt mainline. Who can get a similar engine operating quicker.
That would be epic.
Always enjoy these videos. Cheers Stu
Yay! we love this series Sam!
I enjoy these repair videos, and you clearly have some fans with deeper pockets than mine. A nice little earner for you 😊
Bro has a tyco tea kettle, the most unreliable engine ever built

Thank you Sam for bringing this series back. This was a great and tense first episode. I look for to the next one in the series.
Now you have our interest! Thank you!
Great video as always. Are you planing on reviewing accurascale siphon g?
Nice job, i do hope scotman and the 0-6-0 diesel are salvaged, and i like the addition of tender driven models to add the the mix
Thank you!! Fingers crossed for those ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Mad restoration skills there Sam! Always good to see an old loco come back from the grave. (You paid £45 for it? Not like you to get the worst of a deal!)
How did you get the lube stik
They're just syringes that I bought on Ebay, and I fill them myself!

I sense A fresh new episode
I miss these vids , and amazing vids sam
Have fun fixing the Life like. That is actually considered to be one of the worst model trains ever made. I got one brand new and it's actually pretty good but I've seen others which are in really rough shape. Word of advice get a weight for that model.
Fun to watch!!
It's Back lady's and gentlemen, IT'S BACK!!!
Cheers Jasper & Willow
hahaha yes!! Back for one more series :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This really feels like a TV show Sam ;)
Cheers Jasper & Willow
Thank you so much!! :D
that GWR 2661 could easily pass as a Martin Mart-Mertinson locomotive like that GWR mogul. The Oxford Rail Adams Radial Tank is another I'm interested to see
that looks like a d49 there sam, we have the sole surviving one at the bo'ness and kinneil railway
old hornby tender drives are bomb proof and easy to repair as well.
I love this series, also I just realized what the Scrapman is saying: "I am... the Scrapman." Small request, could you move the Ebay link in the description one or two lines down? It shows up even when scrolled all the way up, and it gives away whether or not the loco survived the episode.
Lots of rust left; So does Cloe have to redue it for thorough maintenance ? BUT how does it run on the tracks ?
0:17 I bet you Sam, that one is going to be a hard one to fix.
Cheers Jasper & Willow
hahaha it certainly will be ;D
the Scrap locos i need
What are the chanses i was binge watching ss today and then sam uplodes a new episode 😃
Good to se it back! Just seen two double headed castle classes on a railtour!
Thank you!! Oh wow amazing - I've never seen anything like that before!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You Bloody Beauty Sam bringing Salvage or Scrap back. Good onya mate👍.
errrmmm about time salvage or scrap !!!! excellent
Please continue doing salvage or scrap Sam’s trains I don’t want it to be discontinued
Sorry Sam didn't mean to spoil your fun It's the only locomotive I know out of the whole lot you have Can't wait to see which ones get repaired or which 1's get scrapped
I suggest you use the remaining parts/bodies of locomotives as like it was rotting on your set
Yay a new series of Salvage or Scrap
It's finally back :D
Yay salvage or scrap is back!
Good luck with the boltmore and ohio steam locomotive.
Watched your videos for quite a while now, and always meant to ask, what's that white lubrication pen you use? Is it a store-bought item or did you customize something else into it?
The rust adds character, it shouldn't have been removed entirely in the first place!
I was feeling chills when the clock was running out
But The Engine Was Saved At Last
hahaha so was I!! ;D
Love to see this series back again. I've got a Hornby Thomas that I've had for easily 20 years now, that sadly doesn't work any more, and I'd love to be able to fix it up. Keep up the great content!
Hurrah for Season Three!
i could never be able to do that. it took me an hour to findout how to remove the body from a hornby pug.
Awesome video Sam's trains
Thanks Brian :D
@@SamsTrains you're welcome 😊 buddy
Didn't know that OL BIG BENNY was there.
SEASON 3!!! YEEEAAAAHHH!!!
Superb ! It's still one of your best idea on this channel. I love it !
What a cool 20 min upload! What tools were you using?
Get er done slamin sam!!! Get er done!!!👍👍🙏🙏
Any chance you’ll fix the BR logo on the side of the tender? Half of it’s faded off.
I don't have the means to do that unfortunately - very tricky to print an irregular shape onto black!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam what happeneds when the locomotives after they are scrapped
The scrapman consumes them to rebuild his body..... or I keep them for spare parts ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains cool
Great to see this series back! Love the Quest TV style you take for these ones, keep up the great work!
High stress episode. I guess you didn’t do a part 2 to finish the cosmetics. At least anyone buying it knows what they have left to do. Nice job
Excellent use for an old pool noodle
Hey, speaking of that "Ruinous Radial" (I'm assuming it's an Oxford one), can you please upload the files for those 3d printed motor brackets you came up with a few months ago?

A long awaited return
Thanks a lot David!
YES ITS BACK
Nice Job Sam
