Oh wow, old Märklin locomotives have a very similar issue called "Hardened Oil Syndrome" where the original factory oil has a problem that causes it to congeal and harden if the locomotive isn't run for a while. It's mostly an issue for small Z scale trains, and it effected one or two of mine. Great video as always!
One thing about videoing your repairs you can look back to see if a part was missing or where it may have fallen , in this case the chassis spacer was always missing.
Yeah that's very true actually - though I don't see that part looking back at the footage... I wonder if it was missing to begin with?? Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I bought an original 03 and a plastic split axle Broke in half ! Lovely model so I scratched built a chassis with Romford wheels and a Portescape Motor. Took me a bit longer than you did but it was well worth the effort, and still runs well today 👍regards from Ron
Great show on a Saturday evening Sam. Oh dear, the dreaded hardened factory lubricant, and what a mess actually... All that cleaning up and re-oiling in ~15 minutes does certainly show your profound experience. The cosmetics, buffers and couplings can easily be fixed by the next owner. At least she runs well! Cheerio,
Love these salvage or scrap episodes. I suggest you invest in some aerosol contact cleaner though… and given that it starts slow and then picks up speed the motor probably needs remagnetising.
You are a dying breed like myself. A person with the ability to use their initiative to fix something made by a fellow human being. Well done. The hobby and this WORLD needs people like us. Keep it up. 😊
Do you think its possible to put a circular track on a baseboard that spins anti clockwise and then run a train on it so it looks like it stays in the same place.
I believe Jenny Kirk achieved something very similar this in the first series of "Hornby- a Model world" in which two Hornby Pugs ran themselves rather than the scenery revolving.
Ok so all this engine needs now is front buffers and new couplers Buffers can be robbed from an old triang model and glued into place and painted The couplers . Bachman spares had my back becasue this model uses the same couplers as bachmans Thomas and James models . Done
I hadn't realised this design dated back so long. I have a Mainline version, which is even older and uses a pod-style ringfield instead of the more conventional motor here, and the mainline ringfields are absolutely terrible.
Hmm if it's worn out there might not be much you can do - I guess pick up another loco spares or repairs and look at swapping it?? Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I always enjoy seeing an old loco brought back to life. The lubricant can get quite stiff quite quickly. I have had a Bachmann 0-6-0 Collett from new and that struggled after only a year or so of not being run. It was so bad the motor smoke and I thought it had had it but new lubricant saved the day.
That’s an 04 shunter. I can tell by the cone-shaped exhaust. You’re leaving the Evil Scrapman to die of starvation as we speak. Wonder of there’s such thing as gear decay from all that dried up lube?
I’m sorry to correct you but 04s had a flat fuel tank just in front of the cab and 03s have the larger fuel tank with a raised bit in front of the cab so this is most definitely a 03 also the flower pot and cone chimneys are on both 03s and 04s this one is currently preserved at Mangapps railway museum in Essex
@@gmaster5754 Well, rimbus dimbus! You are right, my good man. How could I be such a foolish dumbass to not notice the larger engine. It was the exhaust that caught me off guard.
Now let’s just watch as the eBay prices go through the roof! You probably make more on those auctions anyway! Not against it though. That’s the bidders doing…
I think it would be useful in a practical sense to remove the "time-limit thing" tbh. How about one on repairing the mazak-damaged Hornby Class 31 for example (of which I am one of the unfortunate owners!).
Unfortunately it's because it's just too hot up there in the summer afternoons - it was painful/unhealthy last year so I skipped it! And yes there will be more :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
An overall good restoration here Sam, good to see it running, as I say all the time with split chassis locomotives if people look after them like they would with other locomotives a split chassis model will work faultlessly.
Yeyyyyy more train restorations. Lets go sam is the best. I still wish i could fix trains . But i think i should try just like u. But anyway ur the best and keep being awesome. But im being serious what train do u recommend me buying.
I feel bad for the so called "scrap man" everybody thinks he's evil but I think he's really just misunderstood. First of all that nickname is imposing, like his name is Jerry, c'mon you can at least let him have his dignity while he's being held against his will forever confined to a cabinet in your basement, made to be a puppet in your sick games for your amusement, profiting off his suffering. Sustained on nothing but the occasional broken model train, look at the guy he's clearly malnourished, he's barely able to utter out a few words before the door slams in his face, and those are the worst bloodshot eyes I've ever seen they're practically glowing might wanna get that checked out my G. I am utterly uphauled at the behavior displayed in this show, a perfect example of a cruel narcissist taking advantage and profiting off of the lesser man, whilst mascaraing as but an innocent model train restorationist. This behavior is downright unacceptable and I will be starting a campaign to free the scrapman from your captivity and thus the deplorable conditions he is being held in. I will see you my friend, in court!
I like the idea of resurrecting a dud loco, but why put a time limit on it. Why not take your time and tell viewers what you are doing and why. If, the end you want to say how long it took, then fine. I learned very early on in my engineering apprenticeship that the longest way to do a job is try to rush it.
So much doubt yet results speak for themselves again don't they? i still prefer seeing proper fixes to rushed ones but at least there is effort made to give those broken down models another lease of life.
On this episode of Salvage or Scrap, Sam only has a certain amount of time to fix a Bachmann 03 shunter! Can he do it, or will the locomotive be fed to the SCRAP MAN? Find out on this episode of Salvage Or Scrap!
I don't do bids on ebay any more. I'd make an offer instead, which is more my style. So if you're willing to let your viewers make an offer, so they can buy the model more cheaply, you'd have great results on your hands. Nice to see the 03 shunter has been Saved From Scrap. Excuse the Season 2 Thomas story title, I couldn't resist.
Salvage or scrap was such a genius idea Sam! You should pat yourself on the back. These are so entertaining!
Thank you so much my friend, really appreciate it!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@SamsTrains hey Sam, remember that schools class you used the tender from for that double tender schools class?
Oh wow, old Märklin locomotives have a very similar issue called "Hardened Oil Syndrome" where the original factory oil has a problem that causes it to congeal and harden if the locomotive isn't run for a while.

Yeah it's quite a common issue isn't it? Amazong how hard some of these lubricants can become!

Thank you so much glad you enjoyed it! :D

I think you should do a series where you actually do fully fix broken models. No concern of a time limit.
So happy it could be saved.
Me too! :D
Hi Sam, Saved for another day , All the best Brian 😃
Thanks a lot Brian! :D
THESE IS THE BEST MODEL TRAIN SERIES!!!!!!?????!!!!!
Thank you so much!!! :D
Well done sam 👏 keep up the good work 👏 my friend 👏 👍
Thank you so much mate! :D
16:16 Not today Scrapman......not today.
Cheers Jasper & Willow
hahaha yes indeed! :D
You are a dying breed like myself. A person with the ability to use their initiative to fix something made by a fellow human being. Well done. The hobby and this WORLD needs people like us. Keep it up. 😊
That was a record!
I am continually happy this series is still going, genuinely one of the best on TH-cam.
haha that's lovely to hear, thank you so much! :D
That was a tight one! Well done on getting it sorted!

It's out Lady's and Gentlemen Ep 4 IT'S OUT!!!
Cheers Jasper & Willow
hahaha yes it is! :D
Sometimes putting the body on makes it not work. But not today. Good work sir
hahaha that's right! Thank you! :D
GREAT WORK WITH THIS OFFICIAL CHALLENGE OF RESTORING A WORN-DOWN MODEL LOCOMOTIVE TO WORKING ORDER!
I still have a couple of locoomotives to fix but finding parts is a pain in the you know what
Ok so all this engine needs now is front buffers and new couplers
Buffers can be robbed from an old triang model and glued into place and painted
The couplers . Bachman spares had my back becasue this model uses the same couplers as bachmans Thomas and James models .
Done
Put the locomotives in preservation.
Who are you?
@@TritonBrickRailway I am the one who lurks in the shadows, I will soon be haunting your dreams. Start running
Scary threat! We’ll be celebrating Halloween a bit early! 👻
The real version of the 03 (D.2000) is at Mangapps Farm Railway Museum in Essex
Oh that's awesome - thanks for sharing that fun fact! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You need an ultrasonic bath for cleaning these models. May save a bit of time.
I hadn't realised this design dated back so long. I have a Mainline version, which is even older and uses a pod-style ringfield instead of the more conventional motor here, and the mainline ringfields are absolutely terrible.
Another little engine that could. Happiness abounds. 😊
haha absolutely!
Awesome video Sam's trains
Thanks Brian! :D
@@SamsTrains you're welcome 😊 buddy 😊
Hi Sam, I have a split chassis but my bearings for the chassis are scored. What can I do about it?
Hmm if it's worn out there might not be much you can do - I guess pick up another loco spares or repairs and look at swapping it??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is gonna be good 👍
Hope you like it! :D
Hope you like it! :D
Bachmann shunter! Can we fix it?
Bachmann shunter! Yes we can!
hahahahha that's amazing!! xD
So amazing
Hi Sam love your videos they make me happy
That's lovely to hear, thank you so much! :D

AHH THE GOOD OLD BACHMAN SNOTTY DRY BOGIES LUBE ... SON OFF A BEECH
Is there files for your open wagons?
There isn't unfortunately, sorry about that!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@gmaster5754 Well, rimbus dimbus! You are right, my good man. How could I be such a foolish dumbass to not notice the larger engine. It was the exhaust that caught me off guard.
Shame you did not fit new couplings and buffers
Why did you let them get in this state?
Have you ever used anything from your spare parts box in this series? I haven't seen at all, just mostly 3d printed parts
In that last 3m u could have put the bumpers
Now let’s just watch as the eBay prices go through the roof! You probably make more on those auctions anyway! Not against it though. That’s the bidders doing…
Thank you! It helps pay for the show, which makes this possible!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains those models are in demand. I certainly wouldn’t do anything differently! You have this well figured out.
Another salvage!
Just converted sim hornby shunter to Dead rail battery power
A good restoration Again glad you got it running
what is the part of my childhood
Another banger episode of salvage or scrap, absolutely loving this series par usual
Thank you so much David that's lovely to hear! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I'm so happy to see you Sam trying to restore some broken old models :)
Cheers Jasper & Willow
You typed "08" shunter in the description. Happy that there is another episode of this great series
Thank you!! Fixed it :D
Awesome video today Sam love this series
Well done Sam .
Superb ! This series is still one of your best ideas, I'm hooked on it !
haha thank you so much Oliver, that's lovely to hear! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Why wasn't there a new series of livestreams this previous summer? When will be the next series?
Unfortunately it's because it's just too hot up there in the summer afternoons - it was painful/unhealthy last year so I skipped it! And yes there will be more :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Love these videos, I've been working on locomomotives that I buy at second hand stores and private sales. I got almost all of them running
That's great to hear - it's a lot of fun fixing them up isn't it?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains yes it is
This series is so fun! I really hope that you do another season after this one.
Thank you so much! I think this will probably be the last, but maybe in the future!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains aww, thats too bad. I know you have said in the past that it is a hard series to film though.
Good video on the channel big thumbs up keep up the good video thanks lee
😊
First well done
Well done! :D
Wahey don't think I've ever been first before 🤣
What is the conductive lubricant you use one the wheels ? Keep up the good work 😊
Nice video sam very good camera work as usual as always keep it up bye for now Philip
An overall good restoration here Sam, good to see it running, as I say all the time with split chassis locomotives if people look after them like they would with other locomotives a split chassis model will work faultlessly.
Yeah that's true - they can run nicely if you look after them... until they fail of course!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Can you please run a b12 and 9f double header please
That sounds awesome! :D
Awesome vid Sam, love these. Are you gonna try a dapol bogie bolster for £10 at Kernow?
That could be cool actually, thanks for the tip! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Yeyyyyy more train restorations. Lets go sam is the best. I still wish i could fix trains . But i think i should try just like u. But anyway ur the best and keep being awesome. But im being serious what train do u recommend me buying.
You totally should try - you'll get good at it with time!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
i would of just taken the motors out and made then dummy locomotives, no need to scrap them, and they can just look pretty as you pull them along
Hi Sam
Hello :D
Hope your staying cool in this hot weather 👍👌
Which is a timely warning to those who have layouts in a sun-facing room to keep the curtains "SHUT" for most of the day!
I want you to continue the salvage or scrap series Sam’s trains because it’s so inspiring and challenging
Thank you so much David - there's a few more episodes still to come :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Done and dusted, well done Sam..you could print the spacer yes?
there were only two spacers
How you mananged to repair it in that timescale was pretty cool
I feel bad for the so called "scrap man" everybody thinks he's evil but I think he's really just misunderstood.

I have 1 question for you Sam. If this series ever comes back as a special episode, do you plan on putting the engine on ebay?
Cheers Jasper & Willow
Yeah I probably would do yeah! :D

you know, I wonder what Sam has in store this Halloween, its not to far away, I wonder what he's cooking up in his layout this year...
Why the time limit? Pointless.

Hi Sam.
Hello!
ill eat it
