- I recently rediscovered some old Lionel Thomas sets in a storage unit. The sets were mostly intact so I decided to clean and fix up the models

I'm really happy you love your engines. It's always nice to see people in the hobby post videos like this one. If you want to liveing up your models even more, I suggest giving them white running boards and the appropriate colors to their boiler bands. But that's just my thought. You don't have to do that if you don't want to. They are your engines at all.
watching restorations make me happy knowing that people take time out of their lives just to fix something that they are passionate about
Also, white vinegar can get rid of a lot of corrosion
"Thomas, since one grain of sand fell out of your trucks, you will not get a new coat of paint EVER again".
Sorry, seeing this range I need to quote that. It is safe to say that these models are in the right hands. Great work.
This was a lot of fun to watch! My first model trains I ever had were these two engines with all the rolling stock and accessories. I was a very happy and ecstatic five year old and had a blast running them. I sold them a long time ago as I mainly focus on HO, N and OO9. Even though I prefer Bachmann’s G scale offerings personally the short-lived Lionel G scale range will always have a soft place in my heart as it was my first exposure to model trains as a child. Great work restoring these!
DUDE, That is like the coolest train restoration ever, considering that set was from the 90,s!
solid video man! very charming models
I just found the same Thomas set....my son loved it!
I've watched this video atleast 10 times
Also, you could probably put a small amount of wd-40 on the sound remote to get rid of some of the corrosion
Nice restoration. Ya don’t see a lot of videos with these models nowadays
The Railpower transformer's "4 connectors" are actually 2 for each side (2 for the tracks, 2 for accessories)
Why is this video so satisfying?
Restoration is always satisfying!
Dude im very impressed
This was a really fun little project! I'm glad you got them working again. Idk if you've made an update on these guys since you posted this but if you haven't I hope you find suitable roofs for them! Also, it's a good thing you didn't use the railpower 1370. You don't need to plug in all 4 connectors to the tracks, just the bottom 2 that say DC power. But that controller is notorious for damaging model trains. It's killed 2 of my engines and one company outright says to not use it as it will damage the models. Glad you could find a lionel controller!
This brings me some memories nice to remember having the couplers that were American however if you have a 3D printer you can print the tops off or if you had somebody who has a 3D printer who can help you with that
Nice
Cheers 🥂 keep up the good work
You need to this more often, this is awesome!
You could 3d model and 3d print the roofs.
Those sets were fun. We still have the James set. Will need to get it out and see if it runs.
Can we get an update?
4:00 James is happy to be cleaned up
Very nice, you fixed these 2 up yet here I am destroying the 2 I have :)
Just be careful when running these, they like to eat worm gear that connects to the motor.
I dig this big time
I don’t think the limited warranty thing still exists! Lol
HO is also my preferred scale as well man!
Wow your lucky you have those toys
Awesome dude that’s amazing
3:44 You could also 3D-print a replacement roof for Thomas and James if you had a 3D printer
*GENIUS*
Or just use flipping paper
Awesome video! I watched this like 20 times in a day because it's one of those videos that never get old and I keep watching! Great job and keep up the good work!
Same
Cool video! I wish I had these two G-scale train sets because they look so awesome!
Me too!
This channel is awesome!
I bought this for my son. I have a similar issues. The Thomas set has the brown colored tracts, a different power supply (but it works), and I do have the covers for all the stock. I do not have the other accessories. However, the screw/neck connecting the wheels assembly on Clarabelle has snapped. The other issue is that Thomas is moving like James did. We did notice some electrical smell of dust being burned or zapped when running.
I have a couple of questions. First, would silicone or dielectric grease spray be better in trying to revitalize the motor? Would it better to take the motor out and clean out instead? Second, The attached peg that holds the wheel assembly to the Clarabelle, is better to use super glue, epoxy, or a longer screw with a a washer on the side would be better?
Thanks
youre only supposed to connect 2 of the railpower 1370's power things. the other 2 are accessories
What do you think of the current Lionel G scale Thomas Tank Engine set?
I think they look nice
BenTenLife Does that mean that you’re gonna get the new Thomas And Friends “G Scale” set?
What i find some people do if they want a layout but don't have the space they create a continuous sellf around there room and then put the trains on that
Bachmann made some Thomas And Friends Large Scale Models which are way better than the small ones
Quite enjoyed watching this. Oddly enough my hobby shop actually has both the re-released version of Thomas' set and the accessories set mint in the packages. Not sure how long they've been sitting there, but I'd assume since the late 90's. I myself got into collecting G scale 10 years ago and in that time have acquired numerous models, one if which happens to be Lionel's James. If you ever get the chance, feel free to check out my channel as I do have several videos showing off my G scale models.
James's pilot wheels are derailed on the the thumbnail.
How the hell did you notice that
Im watching this after i got the g scale thomas yesterday for Christmas
The rail power controller is for ho scale ones and the red Lionel controller is James’s controller
could be useful for a custom
Maybe use the roof of your custom L.B.S.C thomas and original James models
Can I please have the Thomas and James set?
Hey could you please send me some info on that controller? I’m actually looking for one for a Thomas set my grandfather had bought me when I was a child
Yes
hey man do you need thomas roof????
Maybe you can use cardboard and duct tape to do the roofs but then again I need to superglue the hot glue it on
found Lionel o gauge Harold on ebay for $40.
Make gordon maybe Henry too you just need to get 3 James 1 Thomas and model a custom boiler and cab you can ease James's boiler for the boiler you can use James's cab for the cab and your done
How did you fix james, mine is doing the same thing.
You know Ben even though you already made duplicates of the roofs
Because you finally obtain them I could recommend replacing them with cardboard roofs like I did with my Edward I'm saying this if they brake and you don't want to go through the Struggle of fixing them
Hay I got a train set like that
My mom got me a lionel fright train set for christmas
I mean you could've just bought 8 wheels of the same size as the bigger ones you got. So the trucks could have even wheels, instead of just guessing
My parents got me a mint in box James g scale 1993
Ho thomas is good 👍 but and percy is God and I love you good bey
When will you come back on TH-cam
More vidz
its an O Scale
G scale, the O scale models are totally different, not to mention the G scale range only had two locos
I have Thomas but I don’t have James
Kikmjkjjj ju
Eu vou roubar o seu James
