Testing Vintage Ho & N Locomotives from David

- I was sent a whole bunch of vintage locomotives from David Z to G a few weeks ago and have been waiting to test them for a while. Some of these locomotives have likely not run in years so I wasn't sure what was going to start at what wouldn't. As it turned out, quite a few wound up springing to live when I gave them power. These are all great locomotives and I want to thank David from Z to G scale for them as well as David from DBtech for contributing to the Hershey's locomotive.
Love the hersey. I think it is a U boat model but I don't know. Love the lima b & o fp40 i think
That Model Power ho E9 locomotive, i used to have one in the Burlington Northern paint scheme in year 1976 that locomotive had some weight look authentic and ran very smooth and very strong puller. Nice to see it again.... Wow.
They're still great locomotives, simple but great drive system.
Just wanted to give a shout out to Dave of DBTech as well, Harrison. I know you mentioned him in the unboxing: we went 50/50 on the Hershey Locomotive when we met up for the Allentown Spring Thaw Train Meet. Nice, they all run pretty well except for the N Santa Fe switcher, but I'm sure it'll be up and running in the future. I thought it was unique. That one I picked up at the show in Colorado. The CN switcher, well folks, it's CN, 'nuff said.
Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍
Watching it run put a smile on my face! I like that B & O also.
@@dbtech7914 I'm really sorry for not acknowledging your name in the video, It slipped my mind at the time of recording. I quite often forget to include important details in a lot of my videos and only notice after the video is uploaded. I want you let you know it's not a reflection of my appreciation of the gift - It means a lot and I appreciate you contributing to it.
@@coloradonscaler it was last November up around Loveland, if I recall correctly, the Ranch Events Complex.
@@dbtech7914 hey Dave.
No worries, I forget things too and your channel is still great!! Good video, those are some cool trains.
I love watching your train videos
I love the switchers I have a similar one
I always liked the riverossi trains I also the the 102 steam train always run good with the three pull more moters
Your E9 sounds like the real thing without oil!
Not bad. Most work. Those big guys look funny on your turns. Little more overhang and they could clear out some trees.
That b & o shunter is minty, I have been looking for one for years! Nice vid btw :)
Awesome vid my favorite loco is between the Amtrak and the Hershey locomotive
The e9 and the Hersheys locomotives are awesome and rare at that
I love the n scale switcher
That E9 sounds like a vacuum cleaner
it sounds more like a chainsaw than a vacuum cleaner :3
Mine sounds much better then that but it took a good cleaning to get it quiter.
The E9 i just a more streamlined version of the F45
No
Well my train show and the open house for the SBHRS are closed. Also I like that Amtrak E9.
Man it seems like david z to g scale is taking over the entire smt fan base and channel!!!
hey, That B&O SDP40F, When I go to my Local Train show, this one vendor has the same one but he hasnt sold it yet. Next year, I intend to buy it
(also it would be nice to see some Amtrak Amfleet coaches with that E9)
Don’t waste your money on it. It’s junk. Also, it’s not an SDP40F. It’s a bastardized version of an FP45.
I was waiting for the Amtrak e9
3:42 I have the same engine at my house and bought it from a train show last year after Thanksgiving. It's a really good runner pretty much the greatest runner in my collection
You need more Amtrak
I think he has more Amtrak locos. If I recall correctly, he has a Amtrak p42, and f40ph as well as a GG1
@@kcmorailfan4784 Yes, all of those and an F unit.
Very nice. It seems David is Helping Harrison corner the market on HO scale 0-4-0 locomotives. Soon we must all go to SMT Mainline Hobbies if we want a nice little HO vintage 0-4-0.
Well, the E8 and E9 are basically the same loco on the outside
IIRC the only external spotting feature was the headlight gasket was metal on the E8 and rubber on the E9 and that spotting feature was really only good til the first time the unit needed a headlight replacement as the metal and rubber gaskets were interchangeable.
Also for purposes of this conversation nigh on impossible to differentiate in HO scale
Great Vid As Always.
Nice “haul”.
I have the complete set of the Hershey loco with cars complete in box just purchased a couple of days ago it is a GE B23-7 loco from Bachman from 1993 according to the paperwork in my set
I always had a thing for the rigid framed industrial locomotives. So many of them were re-issued, even re-motored later in their runs. I know they were HO, but it made me think that stood for "horribly oversize." At one point I had the same basic loco (some were center cab) from Marx, Lionel, Gilbert, AHM, IHC, Bachmann, Model Power, Life-Like, Tyco, Cox, ROCO, Mehano... None of them ran well, or at scale speeds, but still interesting. I always thought it would be fun to re-motor and re-gear them. I still remember the challenge of installing reversing lights in an Athearn Hustler, which came with no lighting.
I guess I got lucky with my used equipment. I bought a pair of Walthers Alco PAs (A&B) and it turned out they were the smoothest running engines I've ever bought.
Oh I can’t ship it for 30 days because my city is on lock down because of the corona virus
The Amtrak is a power model
I miss having my own train set in Pennsylvania and I hope to have one of my own in Florida I just love trains
You should work on your n scale layout some more!
Just found your channel and it's so interesting to see the locos common on your side of the pond! We only have a few of the Transcontinental style engines over here. Really enjoying the content
Smt you someday need to get some ho scale Amtrak cars to go with that e9.
Southern Maine Railfan hello random person that i dont know i see you to like trains also
Jarred Tech maybe
Do plan on making another runaway train consist
I hope he does!!!
I wasn't planning on it but I might try to make a better one in the future.
SMT Mainline well hope you do and I got a question for you do you know which runaway train I am
Have you ever had to restore a N scale before? I tried restoring one a week ago and it's suprised me how different the process fealt.
I have but I'm not familiar with this type.
Harrison is the Hershey plant going to be a add-on to your layout? also to Harrisons parents watch out you've got a macgyver on your hands don´t let him blow up the house now!!! LOL
Awesome stuff. I got my hershey's engine DCC and it's actually possible considering that one runs moderately well. It is equipped with fly wheels by the by.
5:40 well there real life counter parts weren’t realable XD
The B&O SD45, Athearns strangest engine I've collected. Its a pretty good choice in blue color
If you're referring to the one in the video, that's an FP45. Athearn also produced an FP45 but I believe only offered it in the dark blue freight scheme. The FP45's were only ever operated by the Santa Fe and the Milwaukee Road. The SD45 was operated by numerous companies but I don't believe B&O ever had any of them either.
Where did you get the level crossing signal ??? It's a beautiful piece ...
That little N scale switcher will Fire right up with a good wheel cleaning. If that doesn’t help, check to see if the contacts on the pancake motor are clean or making contact. Sometimes just bending them gets the motor turning.
I love the Hershey loco !
Nice looking b&o diesel
random dude the sequel what one
@@c418stal5 the large blue locomotive with b&o on the side in yellow
Is the little steam engine B & O as well?
@@steezytrtl2701 oh yea it is
Nice batch of trains especially the B&O
I have a Union Pacific f unit n scale. Missing 1 brush and spring. Put power to it by touching the com lightly and it ran great. Gotta order brush kit
at 3:33 that looks like My 0-4-0 Rivarrosi before i re decaled it. looks like the Cylinder popped off on left side a bit what i find interesting it has a proper Knuckle Coupler. geez i missed some videos around here didn't I. wow but im glad to have this type of locomotive its so small and very nice runner.
Heritage on a lot of those older locos can be hard to determine at times as the molds and dies got passed around a lot when companies went under a lot of the Model Power and Con Cor stuff had AHM and or Lionel heritage.
Thx for posting
Do you ever paint locomotives or strictly “collect and run” the different ones?
Also, do you run ops on your layout?
Fun fact: if you look at the side of the box for the tank engine you can see either CNJ 831 CNJ 832 CNJ 833 from the jersey central
Very cool stuff SMT
You said that the Hershey locomotive weighs a lot so it probably could pull a lot of freight but my dash 9 is lighter than my gp40 but my dash 9 has more pulling power.
Cool your lucky to have not one not two but three Baltimore and Ohio 0-4-0t. One life-Like and two Rivarossi
Wow I have that dockside!
Really nice stuff great video
Great video Again!
hey SMT! I had a quick question. Why don't you use that track extension after the bridge? Is it not finished, does the power not run to it or something else
It's been nothing but trouble, I added a new switch but it shorts if I shift it so something must be wrong with it.
im curious why you always call them 0-4-0 switchers, because as far as i know that is only a steam classification system, I believe those are DDT switchers
I'm not sure if they're all called DDT switchers but they are all 0-4-0s
If you look at the builder's plate of a prototype locomotive, such as EMD, you'll see the wheel arrangement given in the old steam era designation, so a four axle engine would be classed as 0-4-4-0 for example. SMT is correct.
2:11 are those the skulls of the train show vendors that didn't give you the locos you wanted for a decent price?
The Amtrak 0-4-0's are known to have the worm come loose from it's axle that powers the gear on the wheel and not engage. Mine has that problem. I was honestly hoping yours would too so we could get a repair tutorial lol
They sure are. "No good price!? Looks like you're the one that's gonna pay!"
@@SMTMainline *nervous chuckling*
E8-E9. The ONLY external difference is the thickness of the headlight bezel.
Good video
Dwight Azecht As always
Currently I am attempting to send you some stuff sooooooo... yeah
That old Hershey’s locomotive is either a B32-7 or a B39-7
Should put the ones that don't work on your workbench so you can keep which ones don't separate from those that do.
SMT, I have a question. Could you explain how to wire the whole layout? I am trying to figure out how to wire a layout and every video I watch it never makes sense to me. Thanks, and nice trains!
Are you looking to wire track or lighting?
Just track
I need to figure out how to run a locomotive while a different locomotive is on the track to where the both don’t go at the same time
@@stephanieross3089 What you need is a dcc system along with dcc locomotives to do what you want. Lots of books have information about this.
Do you ever sell any of locomotives you get? I am looking for a Union Pacific switcher steam locomotive.
Trains were invented in my home country America
The Baltimore and Ohio locomotive is a f40phc
Actually, an FP45
I had an Amtrak E9 but the previous owner turned it into a dummy engine so I pretty much don’t really use mine
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lol when Smt cant read and on the box it says it is sa E9 but he says it is a E8.
Hello!!!
3:53 the steam locos pistons have just been loosened and broken
That e 9 sounds like a weed waker
This video is making me sad, because my family doesn't have enough money to help me with my hobby
Buenas como pudiera empesar a tener unas vias y trenes gracias
Nice video to bad that n scale 0-4-0 doesn’t work
Harrison is mehano ho trains last forever
They can last a pretty long time if you maintain them well.
SMT Mainline come see my ho train layout
I have an Amtrak passenger car and I will ship it to you
There is no real big difference between the E-8 and E-9 other than one had a couple hundred horsepower more than the other and took a water heater system for the passenger cars ! You will get people that will are you all day that they’re really big time difference but according to EMD electric motive division The E-8/E-9 are only 200 hp apart ! They both had the same body and chassis the only difference again, the E-9 was turbo charged ! No the difference between the one the E to theE3E4E56 compared to the E89 is humongous because the earlier E units E3 six had a very slant nose as opposed to the bulldog nose of the E-8 & E-9 ! 🌊🐺
its too bad model power had to go bye bye
hi
I have absolutely no idea how anyone can make hide nor hair of these horrendously illiterate comments!
I’ve noticed that you seem to be infatuated with junk locomotives. All of those, with the exception of the model power E9, are trash. They come from toy train sets which are cheap design, at best.
