    Apologies for those who noticed the motor wasn’t mounted correctly, I noticed this after the video cast so I fixed it off camera.

    Cool find! The prior owner added some nice details, like the numbers on the numberboard and the painted handrails. I'd say you're off to a good start making these kinds of videos.

    6:56 Have you considered adaptor cars, basically rolling stock with horn hooks on one end and knuckle couplers on the other end

    You guys that just set your knives down with the blade still exposed give me high anxiety. I hope and pray y'all don't find out how dangerous that is like I did. I have a big scar on my left wrist from a box cutter that dam near got my veins when I went to shove some trash off of my work bench and forgot the knife was under the newspaper.

    You paid $10 too much. Use a credit card or gift card to separate the shell from the frame; a screwdriver will eventually break the plastic. The unboxing added nothing to the presentation. You need to use spellcheck and grammar check for your text. Your presentation grade is a F. Your repair techniques are a D-.

      You're using double spaces after each period. Also the sentence "your presentation grade is a F" should be "your presentation grade is AN F". Your critique is a D- and your personality is an F.

      I’m sorry if you don’t like my content but you need to understand that first, this is new to my channel so I never tried this before unlike other channels who have years of experience and second, why do you need to go and try to make someone feel down on their hard work that they spent for hours. If you don’t like my content then go watch whatever makes you more entertained, I think I’ll be doing much better without people like you.

      It’s TH-cam. “TH-cam”. Not a grammar lesson or school.

      This is TH-cam not school lmao. Your personality gets an F and I think $10 is too much if your personality was for sale😭. You also need to understand this is his first time doing something like this so I don’t know why it’s an issue how good or bad the video is 🤷‍♂️.
