Oh God, imagine having a guest on for this. Someone who also loves model railways and locomotive, but has little to no mechanical knowledge on how these models work. Imagine asking them to repair an engine under the pressure of a time limit. Complete chaos! 😂
In this series the only locomotive that was fed to the evil scrap man was the little diesel shunter...but this 4mt looks beautiful in BR Black. Cheers mate and have a good one!
After seeing the Scrapman in action in the first episode, I’m happy to see this 4MT return to service after the state it was in. I’m telling you, if this was an actual show on TV or something I would SO binge watch it
this series has the energy of one of those, science shows ion the cbbc that were on near 2 decades ago, and i ate those shows up, keep up the good work sam.
Definetly love this series as it's so satisfying to see these models be ever for future or current modelers. I especially love your use of the 3D Printer as that can inspire people to not have to search high and low for original parts when you can make them yourself. Top Notch as always and can't wait for the rest of the series to continue.
great video, chap! I love this series, and I love that you're able to salvage these wonderful forgotten models to their former glory. Can't wait for the next one!
My exactly the same model has recently refused to run after a long period of storage. To cut a long storage short, the gear had a hairline split. Prompted by TH-camr Paul Cherry's second video on this model, I gently and slightly shortened the large gear end of the spindle of part X9993 (Star Class) by careful filing and so far so good. I hope I have not tempted fate by stating that!
Great stuff Sam! 👏 Happy to see these back. I enjoyed the first series. Great work as always and inspiration to pick up some duffers from boot sales and get them going.
I appreciate this was a challenge, however, given the state of the model I felt it was a golden opportunity for you to take us through a super detailing exercise.
Hey Sam. Great Video! Just wanted to let you know that on the last couple of salvage or scrap videos, during the review section where you show the details of the loco, the video comes up very dark and difficult to see. I thought it may be my phone brightness however it is up full and i tried it on my ipad which was the same. Maybe just cos the locos were all black or something but just thought I'd let you know in case anyone else had similar issues. Really enjoy watching these series. All the best.
Off-topic, Sam, but I've just been notified by my Hornby Tier 1 retailer that they can't supply the Evening Star loco I ordered because Hornby have cut between 33% and 92% of the individual items allocated to them. This is the second retailer which had to cancel my order for this loco. Start treating us with respect, Hornby! If you think you'll compel me to buy direct from you, you're wrong!
It is great to see you getting them to run again in this series Salvaged or Scrap, but I can't believe you sold this 2008 model for the winning bit of £128.99 on eBay.
In short : you are talented. It's a splendid work you have done here, and you will make an happy modeller when this engine will be sold. In my opinion, this series is one of your best ideas. Keep the good job done !
Hey Sam, I started collecting hornby trains when I was around 9. I still have a small collection and I’m clueless on how to service them, they have also been in poor storage. Is there any chance of getting in touch and possibly sending them over to you to see if you can sort the problem? At least 2 of them won’t even start and one creates plenty of sparks. Looking forward to your response!
It depends on the controller - analogue controllers can run any analogue loco, Hornby Digital controllers in theory should be able to control any digital loco... but they're a bit rubbish, so this doesn't always work! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam, I've really been enjoying Salvage or Scrap, but I think it would be even more awesome if you had a series where you put more effort into models, didn't have a time limit, were able to buy spare parts, and even repainted some locos if needed. Sort of like some automotive restoration shows. Like I said I really enjoy this series, but something without the time limit would be more my style! You could even restore a loco over multiple videos to make it seam like a long term project! Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback! There are times where I do put more time and effort into fixing the models properly - but that's not the intention here - this format is more geared for entertainment, though of course it won't be for everyone! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam. What do you use to lubricate your locomotives? And can you do a comparison video on lubricants in the same format as the cleaning fluid comparison video? Please include the lubricant you personally use as well
It depends - I use petroleum jelly for electrical contacts, silicone grease for gears, and hemline sewing machine oil for bearings! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam will you do a review or make any videos on Peco's new TT gauge track? Maybe explain it and compare it to OO and N. Heljan are releasing a class 31 in TT soon
Yes I have been thinking about whether I can do some content on that - I don't think now is the good time though, there's so little to choose from. Not much good for content, and surely not very useful for modellers either! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've got a squeaky hornby intercity 125 with the old BR blue livery, what would the issue be. I was told when I brought it, second hand, it was a runner but turned out to be one noisy loco
Check out my videos on the ringfield motor - a strip down and service will almost certainly fix the issue... unless it's a modern Hornby one of course! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This week, on Salvage Or Scrap: Can Sam fix a Standard Class 4mt within a specified time limit, or will we get another victim to *THE SCRAP MAN*? Find out today on this second episode of Season 2 of Salvage Or Scrap!
I absolutely luv these salvage and scrap vids, but can you maybe review a Fleischmann locomotive like the 4020 tank, please remember that Fleischmann is a German brand
This series is great, it gave me the confidence to try getting some "bad runner" engines and have a go at fixing them, Currently working on an unknown kit build J70 that I'm having a go at getting running again, On a side note, what settings and nozzle size do you use for your 3d printer?
Thanks for the wishes, Currently got the problem of keeping the worm gear meshing with the drive gear on the axle, so me thinks there'll be some slight adjusting brackets soon,
in the next video can yuo do raceing with james vs edward , thomas vs duck , percy vs toby, gordon vs emily , bill vs ben , arry vs bert , mavis vs rosie , donald vs douglas , henry vs spencer, flying scottman vs black 5 and oliver vs class A4 and there is 1 winner please can you do it
Great to see you safe another locomotive from being scrapped! 45 minutes is sure the perfect time to complete this restoration to get this locomotive running again!
Always a joy to watch this particular series. Good one, and the next owner can of course tinker with it further, should that be desired, knowing that it had a well good service. Cheers.
This brings a smile to my face knowing that this series is back. Thanks Sam
That's very good to hear Tim - thanks very much! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)

haha that's true - maybe the Scrapman prefers diesels?!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I don’t know, but if I was a scrapman, I wouldn’t like drinking diesel oil
I don't think diesel oil is that bad at all, I actually drink some every morning at breakfast.

Thank you so much - it was nice to have this one working again, especially without having to buy any new parts!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
If this series doesn't get on cable tv I will cry
haha!! It'll probably always be here on TH-cam xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
great video, chap! I love this series, and I love that you're able to salvage these wonderful forgotten models to their former glory. Can't wait for the next one!
Love the way you build the tension like other DIY shows. “It’s really bad, I don’t think I can do it………..amazing it works! 😀
I agree about the black gunk. It gets everywhere and starts pulling the wires, risking catastrophe.
oh yeah it is back and working, always nice to see.
This was a cool episode, Great Job Sam
"You don't get much less realistic than having no buffers at all"
Engines built with no buffers: am i a joke to you?

The “Model Railway Engineer Electricity TH-cam Bloke” really got me lol
haha, it is a superb title xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Why does that sound a lot like my name
Great stuff Sam! 👏 Happy to see these back. I enjoyed the first series. Great work as always and inspiration to pick up some duffers from boot sales and get them going.

You should propose this idea to Netflix because this seems like it should be a Netflix show so great job Sam
Got my popcorn out. Time to watch the greatest series on TH-cam!
haha you're very kind - hope you enjoy! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video love watching these your so talented
This is such a great series.
Thanks so much Gregory! :D
Great video Sam. Good looking loco at the end of the day> Well done.
Thanks William - glad you like the result! :D
Oh yes I've been waiting for another episode I love this series
Awesome, really hope you enjoy it :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
It is a great day on TH-cam when a new episode of Salvaged or Scrapped is released.
haha thank you so much!! :D
Well done on fixing the loco Sam :)
Thanks a lot Paul! :D

I live these repair videos. Shows how you can fix them up. See you at Warley I hope.
Missed Salvage or Scrap, glad is back again. Awesome.
Thank you - so glad you like the series! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
0:10 question: what kind of engine is that Green 0-4-0 tank
Not a bad repair. Well done.
Denied AGAIN Scrapman! Take a hike! Sam's got you beat!

Thanks for sharing Rob - yes I've heard a lot about this already - Hornby up to their old tricks again annoyingly :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Keep up the good work
Good Job On This One, Really Made Up From Last Time
haha it sure did - thanks my friend!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Thank You that was fun.
Awesome video today Sam
Well done sam
Another edge of the seat instalment :D
Hola buen dia excente trabajo quedo como nueva gran trabajo abrazo grande
somebody got very hungry and ate the buffers and funnel XD nice video sam
Well ur motor maybe burn out but my hornby gordon short circuts my controllers
It is great to see you getting them to run again in this series Salvaged or Scrap, but I can't believe you sold this 2008 model for the winning bit of £128.99 on eBay.
19:14 🤗 Yay!
(And I don’t need it for now on.)
do they get left to the scrap man or what happens to them
Decent video there Sam good looking locomotive to restore.
Thanks David! :D
I love the new 4mt
Awesome video Sam's trains
Thanks Brian! :D
@@SamsTrains you're welcome
Hey Sam I just restored a BR 4mt as well. And It went very good. Now he is on the mainline
Cheers: Jasper & Willow
That's great work - well done you! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hornby 4TMs are worth the work to restore. I have one bought brand new, and it's a very nice engine to run, especially on a branch line.
Turned out lovely sam 👍
Thanks Ciaran - I'm pretty happy with this one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
“There could be glue marks visible, Hornby style” XD
In short : you are talented. It's a splendid work you have done here, and you will make an happy modeller when this engine will be sold.
In my opinion, this series is one of your best ideas. Keep the good job done !
I really like your content it's so relaxing listening to your reviews and how calm you are during the salvage or scrap series
haha glad I sounded calm... these are always a bit stressful, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Class 4MT: *Yay!* *Thanks!*
*”I Can Running Again, I never been run for many years!*
I like the custom funnel! Mayber next time you get a locomotive without its funnel, you give it a Giesel funnel like what Edward Thomas and a 9F had
Thank you! Ooh that'd be fun - nice idea that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great restoration work and interesting / educational. Personally I wouldn't apply a time limit as you may chuck away what could be a very nice loco.
Good one, Sam. Too late to bid, but another one saved.

Did you hear about Hornby cancelling the Titfield Thunderbolt pack?
Well done it’s great to see a loco brought back to life again.
Thanks Tony - I'm glad this one was fixable!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Another great video. Have you considered repairing things like this as a side gig assuming it's not already what you do?
I'm curious, what is the Scrap Man saying in his lines? In the intro it sounds like he's saying "Graham".
As long the model works that what matters most
Try either "Glu and Glaze" or Tamiya Extra Thin when gluing glazing
Thanks for the tip - I can look at doing that!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Will there finally be a train consumed
There was last episode!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You should open an bachmann/hornby parts store
Can the hornby controller of my set controll other locos?
It depends on the controller - analogue controllers can run any analogue loco, Hornby Digital controllers in theory should be able to control any digital loco... but they're a bit rubbish, so this doesn't always work!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains thank you mine Is a Square in black with Red controls and its from the Valley drifter set can It control maybe a deans goods?
Got outbid at 53 pounds, it’s very cool. Good luck to the winner!
Ahh sorry to hear that - thanks for taking a look anyway! :D

You should ask people to send broken old model trains to your PO Box for you to try and repair and send it back
Hey Sam, I know it’s late, but I’m currently dealing with ants, and I’m ready afraid of ants, thanks for giving me the courage to deal with them
Oh no!! Hope you can deal with the ants - good luck!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains thanks, I managed to get them away. I’ve got a question, how bad are the ants over there

Nice man
Is going to get Scraped or Salvaged either way it's going to be a great video
I wanna buy that locmotive
Sweet vid man. No offense of any kind but I love this intro more than the last season. Keep up the good work.

i really like the 4mt
Yay and another steam engine escapes the scrap yard hurrah
Finally! I love this series and am so glad it's back again! I really liked this loco and was thrilled when you were able to repair it.
Thank you so much, really glad you liked the episode! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Thank you so much for continuing this series! i hope it never dies!
It's a pleasure - I am hoping to do more! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
If the 4MT weren’t restored to its former glory, it could have become a Scrap Mam Sausage.
Ooh there's a sinister thought!! ;D
neato as always mah man
Thank you! :D
I love this series so much!
Reminds me of a black 5, which is my favorite steam locomotive
Do you remember that lima diesel engine Sam. I bought it, I think 9 months ago
Cheers Jasper & Willow
Yeah I remember it!! Did you buy the Salvage or Scrap one??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Ps I am currently making a new baseboard for my layout. Do you have any tips and/or tricks?
it isn't new
it's a season 2 of an old series
