Great. I would have used a 1mm drill on Smoke box & Westinghouse pump then pinned them using a pin as a dowel + superglue.
I was thinking about that, too. In fact, I have a stovepipe on an old Marx HO caboose that I plan to do that to.
Much as I like the more 'traditional' videos, I found this more interesting. I like the process of discovery and the what to do about it aspect. Not a steam fan, but nice engine.
A job well done Bill. Im sure Stephen is well chuffed, no pun intended, to have it repaired. There really is no job too big for you to tackle is there. Ive said it before and i'll say it a million times if needed. You really are the Springburn works of the model railway world. Massive pat on the back Bill 👏👏. The longer video just added to the enjoyment. Thank you for sharing Bill.
Good job. That was certainly a challenging project.
To be honest when you first showed it. I thought spares for sure.
I really enjoyed the format in a series of videos. Thankyou.
Yes, that would have been its fate if Bill had not agreed to rescue it. But now I can look forward to seeing that WD livered loco hauling trains around the layout.
Well done Bill, you really made the impossible 100% possible by carefully looking at the service sheet properly. Now the model is back together in 1 piece again.
And so it ends...
Thanks for fixing it, Bill. The uncomfortable truth is that if you had not agreed to take on this project, the loco would have been condemned to my scrap/spares bin.
I bought it as a) I liked the livery, which is unique in my collection, and b) I have a soft spot for large freight locos.
Apart from a quick rolling road test, I've actually never run it, as within a few days of placing it on the now-infamous display shelf, I'd managed to bring it crashing to the floor. There were a few other locos involved in the disaster, but this was the one that - by far - received the most damage.
A super result. I am extremely grateful to you. It looked fabulous hauling Mk 1s on your layout.
PS: I hope "Flying Scot" is watching, as he may have a particular interest in this loco, seems as he's based in The Netherlands.
It'll be on it's way back shortly thanks for agreeing to let me have it for so long.
Good to see from bits to full rebuild and running
Sometimes when I have a part like that I’ll drill holes and use a guitar string “post” to increase the mechanical efficiency of the joint. Fiddly for sure…good to see it done!
Well done Bill, really enjoyed the series on the Austerity. 👏👏
There was a person here Bill in Australia who bought a model loco took it home and inadvertently dropped it. Instead of having it repaired he took it back the model shop whom he bought it from and told them he dropped it then asked for a full refund. Naturally he wasn't entitled to a full refund and so he didn't get it. So in his anger he went on Google reviews and left bad review for the shop saying that didn't know what they were talking about and that they knowingly sold defective models. The shop is Woodpecker Model railways who recently had one of your compatriots pay them a visit and that person was none other than Sir Rod Stewart who bought some model railway things from them. He has a 125ft model railway in his L.A home that took him 30 years to build.
That gubbins that you glued back onto the smokebox is the air pump for the brakes. Some rail companies locos in the UK also were built with similar pumps.
And he was correct: I had tried to glue the part back myself prior to asking Bill for help in saving it from the scrap bin.
Well done Bill you got there in the end, and you have made the owner very happy
Yes he has! I was very pleased that Bill agreed to take on such a project. I actually haven't run the loco since I acquired it. Subsequent to a quick test on the rolling road, I placed it on the treacherous display shelf, pending a full workout on the layout. But then fate (aka my clumsiness) intervened, and the loco ended up in pieces.
It'll be great to see it hauling a load in the near future.
The "there we go" moment in the recap is great! :-)
Regarding unasked for super glue tips: the super glue + baking soda trick is neat, wherever you are missing "meat" or want to build up things, like a broken off peg. It laso works for reenforicng stressed parts (whern you're afraid that they will break or split again).
It's been fascinating to see what's involved in repairing/rebuilding a locomotive. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent “In Depth” Renovation Bill - Loved it 👍🏻
Bill I have used slow setting superglue and its given good results. You get about 15 to 20 seconds to position the part before it grabs. You can speed the handling time by using a super glue accelerator spray which sets the glue almost instaneously. I used Permabond 240 not cheap but good.
Great series of videos Bill. Fascinating and lots of hard work!!! Thanks Bill.
Running this as a series of videos has been a great idea Bill. Thanks for sharing and also for showing us how it’s not always plain sailing. Great stuff and hope you do this again some time.
Well done Bill, another Loco saved from the trash bin.
Once again Super Bill brings another dead one back to life 👍 well done Bill very in-depth videos
An observation. It's a fine job that you have done with your circuit. From foam and wood, only a few months ago, to what you have now. A job well done behind the scenes, and all as well as the repairs that you do so well. Congratulations, and enjoy it Bill.
Bill, try putting superglue on one surface and Evo-stik on the other then press them together to give a strong, quick hardening bond. I've used this several times and find that it works well.
Interesting might try that.
I’ve enjoy this format very much, not that I didn’t enjoy all your other vlogs. I now approach repair and maintenance of my locos and all that goes with them with a bit more confidence. Hopefully see you at the Perth show on the Saturday
Tender is the loco lying by your track
Tender is the touch of the loco that you love too much
Lord, I need to find someone who can heal my Bachmann
Nice loco that though
A great concept of video. I always enjoy your productions anyway, but this is a whole new ball game. It really is amazing what can be achieved with a bit of tenacity. You have spurred me on to give my dropped peak (100 broken bits at present) a go. Great series, look forward to hopefully more of the same format.
OMG, 100 bits? I thought mine was a challenge! Interestingly, when I dislodged the display shelf, several locos hit the hard, wooden floor, but this was by far the worst casualty.
No apologies for taking 4 videos bill that was really interesting hope to see more in the future 👍
Having seen how fiddly the final assembly was, and seeing that you had to fix the tender as well, I think you got an excellent result. I now see that the 4th instalment was necessary so sorry if I was a bit hasty in my comment on the last video. I take it all back 😞
Nae bother.. :)
@@oobill 🙂
I reckon Bill would have finished in 3 if I hadn't inadvertently placed those 2 screws in the wrong holes!
I really enjoyed this mini series, thanks for all your hard work and you certainly had yet another success!
Great work bill 👏 👍
Hi Bill brilliant video very interesting to watch nice to actually see the difference things you have to do to get parts and put all together keep up with your brilliant work and videos Bernard
A bit of a tangent question here: I noticed lots of locomotives immobile on your layout. Do you have isolated sections or do you use the points to isolate track? If the former would be interesting what your wiring set up is for isolated sections. There seems to be very little on youtube for DC wiring...
Nah they're just plonked there for show! Maybe one day I might break up those sidings and switch them all for shunting.......maybe...
Another fine mess sorted out. Well done Bill.
Great series of repair videos
Excellent work as always
Challenging job Bill but a fantastic outcome top man.
A lot of persevering got you there. Out of interest, that loco in that livery would not have appeared on a British railway!!! It is in the livery of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Dutch National Railways) and is one of the 184 locos sold to Holland after the war (the numbering series was 4301-4357).
Ah well it'll be right at home in the Gnome's Legs on a Friday night....
Yes, the unique (to me anyway) livery was the main reason I bought it. I have a soft spot for heavy freight locos 🙃
Quite a marathon, this one! Really enjoy watching you take locos to bits, teaches me quite a bit. Quick question (might have been asked before), when you apply a little fresh grease to the worm and gears, which grease do you use? I'm finding the choice out there confusing.
Silicon grease, PTFE grease or even a mixture of both and sometimes a mix of PTFE grease and gear oil.
@@oobill thanks for that, would you get those from a model railway supplier, or a hardware shop?
Nice work bill
It is good to see the 2-8-0 run like it was factory fresh and drawing less than 0.15 amps. I do love the track time you give us with the finished project so thanks for that. My question is what brand of guitars the two are you have hanging on the wall of the shed? I guessed a Fender electric and Yamaha acoustic. From the States, Jersey Bill.
A home built strat copy and a 1974 Takeharu WT-100 folk. :)
@@oobill I'll assume you built the Fender Stratocaster copy and you did a good job because you fooled me. The Takeharu I had to look up and they were or are known for violins also. Well thank you for your response and keep the fingertip coulisses up to snuff. lol
Yes I made it from parts. An old Squire body that I stripped and refinished, a very cheap unfinished neck from ebay that turned out to be pretty good, and hardware from hear and there. Trouble is...I much prefer a Tele...
@@oobill I have an old Rickenbacker electric and a Yamaha 12 string acoustic. Oddly I am partial to Martin's but sold the one I had for the money I could get. At least the Telecaster and Stratocaster are about the same cost depending on era of course. Thanks for getting back to me I enjoy talking music even though I don't play to often anymore. Tough being old. lol
Well done bill
Idle thought, would it be possible to fit bearings on models that lack them? Or is the risk of messing up drilling out the chasse too excessive?
Hi Bill - have you laid your track onto polystyrene which sits on your baseboards?
Yes
the acoustioc guitar - fender F210 ?
Nope. A Takeharu WT-100 from 1974
@@oobill a bloody wot? haha, ok. it looks exactly like my fender f210 from 1985
Is she really supposed to make that much noise?? I shouldn’t think so..
I have always noticed that once a body (especially plastic ones) are put on any motor noise is greatly amplified! One wonders if filling the body cavity carefully would eliminate it?
I'll compare the noise levels to my other Bachman locos with no axle bearings when I get her back. I think this generation of Bachmann's had overtaken their Hornby counterparts from a cosmetic detail perspective, but were still playing catch-up regarding mechanisms.
