An excellent tutorial on engine repair, complete with suspense and drama! Bravo on your editing skills. This very much reminds me of TV shows here in the US that take an engineering project (ship building, bridge maintenance, etc.) and make it dramatic, with a mini-crisis just before each commercial break, yet with a successful conclusion. Very enjoyable, Sam. Cheers!
@@SamsTrains 🤣, yeah don't worry, I don't think anyone would have thought you were trying to say anything naughty, it was just a funny moment after you set it up with your little family of gears 🤣
Man what a great series every loco has me hoping they can be frankensteined back to life and shows the level of competency and passion this guy has for the hobby. On a side note Samtrain's Engineering Works must be good because the scrapman is probably the most evil contraption I've ever seen you create and you have to so a 'Salvage or Scrap' Halloween special with a loco that would be a mission impossible that only igor frankenstein himself could pull off saving
This has become my favorite series on the channel, Sam. Your production quality is fantastic, theres a high entertainment value, I'm always on the edge of my seat hoping you outwit the evil scrap man! Well done mate.
I picked up one of these lovely locos for £20 at a vintage antiques warehouse but have worried it may never run - this gives me great hope! Well done Sam!
Morning Sam, a challenge which normally doesn’t go up again a clock. Let alone under an hour. Fantastic you meet and beat the challenge. Excellent idea, can you have a longer video which shows more of what and how you doing the fixes, know many of the repairs and services have been done before but any thing or tips always help. Keep up great videos, look forward to next reviews. New hornby pendolino? Old tooling but new livery… all best Marc
Just found this series recently, and I'm loving it! As if restoring locos wasn't hard enough, you're putting time and condition restrictions on it! Looking forward to viewing them all. Cheers, Jim L
The 57xx Pannier tank is my favorite non-American steam locomotive (ergo, Duck is my favorite Thomas character). They look so proud and professional. It would have broken my heart to see the Scrapman get his paws on this one, so I'm especially glad to see it salvaged.
Hello and love your channel. I use to fix PCs and laptops which have many small parts like model trains. I would used a ice cube tray or egg carton to keep the small parts and screws organized and on-hand in a safe location. I hope this is an useful tip for you. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Hi Sam I am glad you made this video. I own quite a few Pannier tank engines that are preowned so you have given me how to work on them when they need it . Thanks from your friend in the USA.
“Daddy gear” the chuckling levels suddenly increased. Enjoying this Sam! Makes me appreciate the finer sides of this amazing hobby. And on the subject of Mainline locos running well - I have a Royal Scot in amazing condition! Bought secondhand, its only issue is a minor wobble. Other than that, she’s a star
Hi if anyone can- does anyone know what that type of motor the model is using is called? I got one but it is missing parts. I need to know so I can replace it😂
Hello Sam, more news from the US side of the pond. I’ve now obtained a Bachmann “Baldwin modern 4-4-0” from eBay. It was used on eBay, but was a good price, and in great condition, and right out of the box, it fired up with sound. Not as big, or pricey as the Broadway Limiteds, but still a welcome addition to the collection. Keep up the awesome work
Hey Owen - that sounds superb - those Bachmann 4-4-0s are a guilty pleasure of mine... lovely things... bet the modern ones are an absolute treat! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Enjoyed the video. Glad you got this one fixed. I have the replica railways version which I believe is the same which I bought in the mid 1990's. I quite like the split chassis for it's simplicity. Thanks for showing cheers Paul.
Thanks for sharing Paul - yes that's right it'll be the same/similar! The split chassis would be a very good/simple design if only the axles were more reliable and motor isolation was a bit easier... it's just not a design that works very well these days when DCC is the name of the game! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
What a fascinating series. I'm guessing the time limit adds a bit of excitement to the video but from my point of view even if restoration was over a longer time period it would have been just as fascinating.
Thanks a lot Geoff - yeah the time limit is there for a bit of suspense... but it also reduces filming time/data usage... the projects would just become too massive if I kept going all day... and I'm on quite a tight budget ;) Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Wow ,, good job Sam,, good to see you are doing something I have done in real time and thats scrap metal recycling and transporting scrap and bits and pieces. Also i didnt know you can use vasolene as bearing grease. See we learn something new every day. Again Thanks for the awesome videos you put on TH-cam. Cheers from John in Australia
Mainline was a standout brand when they suddenly arrived from Palitoy in the late 70s/early 80s. I still have two J72 models that have been part of my layout since they were bought new in about 1982. Both still work perfectly reliably and have has little maintenance in that time - NEVER opened the motor - and have been running regularly at model railway shows at least three times annually - except 2020.' This year, 2021, I have attended two layout shows and have another on October. Wonder why people seem down on the "split chassis" type systems in these locomotives?
I'm surprised that you said it is the best you have ever seen one of these run. My Bachmann Panier is a truly good runner, even at slow speed and has no wobble. I was so happy with it, that I tried to put sound into it, but that was too much to ask as there wasn't room for the larger decoder unless I wanted to put in in the cab, so failed on that one.
The Bachmanns are a bit better as they used better motors... the Mainline locos I've had in the past are very ropey indeed! And this one only wobbled on the rolling road... perfectly good on track! Yeah the split-chassis designs aren't great for DCC... it can be done, but it's not worth the trouble if you ask me! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That was fun and exciting. I hope that you enjoy making these as much as we enjoy watching. If you didn't live on the other side of the world, I might send you a loco or two to work on.
Amazing job done here ! I was considering buying some non-runners on ebay to have a decorating shelf with some trains, but if you can turn back a shelf queen into a running engine... Mmmm, except one with missing parts, which kind of second-hand engine might be really unsalvageable ? Destroyed gears, burned up motor, kinked axles or wheels, broken chassis... Have you seen one so badly damaged that it cannot be salvaged at all ? That might exist...
The Scrap man is the lead operator of the Smelters Yard on the island of Sodor. And Mr.Sam, you all way’s managed to salvage all of your old broken locomotive’s, has their actually ever been a time when the Scrap Man got his keep?
So, I've been wondering this a while; but is it just me, or does 'the Scrapman' look a bit like a caricature of Baron Richard Beeching of East Grinstead, aka, the infamous "Doctor Beeching"?
Hi Sam.. Another scrapheap challenge great.... a seriously built model, built to last... poor scrap monster all he gets to eat is paper ( not that i will ever believe that it would eat anything more than that).. great vid Sam tnks.
"Must look like new". Well, granted, no worries, we'll be looking the other way, lol. Nice cute little loco Sam, and happy that you could save her, certainly looking the business. Naturally weathered and wear and tear like the real thing.
I suppose you fed the Scrapman the instructions out of pity for starving him for so long. Anyway, I wish I could be this good at cleaning these things. I already broke a couple locos in my attempt to clean them. I even gimped my Baldwin 10-12-D a bit after removing the base keeper plate (although Bachmann's decision to attach the pickups to it is the one major flaw in an otherwise good model.) I just wish cleaning them were easier.
Hey Sam I've got models that are about 30 - 40 years old and have never been serviced in their life and run fine, tad noisy but that's ringfield motors for you bit noisy but last forever, proper craftmanship back in those days 👍
@@SamsTrains yeah I've got a old ringfield class 25 with only a bit of oil on the gears every now and then and it crawls better than some of my more modern locos ( cough cough hornby railroad mallard cough) 😀
Haha, love it Sam 🤓 I do like the 57XXs so I am glad you were able to do such a good job on her! 🍾 Glad to see the Scrapman’s plate was empty again 😜 Cheers mate 👍🍻🍀
hey sams trains, i have a Hornby BR Class 42 Warship that lost both of its bogies and I'm wondering if you take in old trains to use on salvage or scrap?
Hi mukka... Happy 2022 to you. You failed the task! "Like new" was your required standard yet the handrails let it down. You still had 6 minutes to polish the handrails yet declined to use the available time to completely polish them. You have done that before with another model... handrails left half done and yet spare time was available. Come on chum... lift your game! I liked the 'thin ice' scene by the way. Papa bear would certainly have eaten all the porridge! No more to say on that topic. 🤭
Time-O-Matic was a bit generous with 46', still excellent job considering the time limit. Interesting, and shows the difference between 'then' and 'now'. Al.
@@SamsTrains I assumed you did, (and you should ;)) splice the time in afterwards, like TV shows do, then you can make it as nail biting as you want. I assumed that was the entire reason for the random time selected xD
That's pretty impressive I have to say I thought it was pretty much a doomed from the start. I thought this would be the first time the scrapman was going to get a snack, oh well at least he got the instructions
haha yeah - I wasn't very confident... that's for sure! I was planning for this one to be a fail... with it being split chassis and everything! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Poor Scrap Man. This could have a second season where you take on other modelers. That would be fun to watch and give bragging rights to the winner. You could have two locos of near equal disrepair. Have your competitor choose first then complete. Just an idea.
27 years old and I still have to skip past the intro .... That scrap man freeks me the hell out! Also Sam my god there was so many joke in this one that made me laugh 🤣 thank you
The evil scrap man should make an appearance at one of the upcoming Hallowsteam events being held at various heritage railways in the UK - now that would scare the kids!
Wait, your selling them afterwards!? I beg you please keep the Flying Scotsman that’s there, it’s a lovely looking model and I would love to see it on your railway more often!
Yeah most of them are being sold! The Scotsman is lovely, but I already have one just like that... so no need for another! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey, another of Salvage or Scrap. Great video. Activating the time o matic makes me laugh. I have tried fixing a mainline rebuilt patriot but it's split chassis is horrible, it's sat in a plastic tub in pieces waiting to be fixed.
Instead of giving your broken unfixed models to the scrap man, you should use them as scrap dressing, and maybe make some look rusty and tie them onto flatbeds and make a diesel haul them, as if they look like they’re going to the scrap yard.
Ok so I know there's a time factor here but here's a little secret if you soak your steel parts in fresh lemon juice it takes away all the rust, it's slow acting so it takes a day or two but they come out looking great and it's not as severe as using a stronger acid! ....... beats grinding such tiny parts
Lol last month i also bought a buggered 5700 for, oddly enough, £1 less than yours. It was a hornby duck, but im currently restoring it in br black as no. 5741

Ok so I know there's a time factor here but here's a little secret if you soak your steel parts in fresh lemon juice it takes away all the rust, it's slow acting so it takes a day or two but they come out looking great and it's not as severe as using a stronger acid! ....... beats grinding such tiny parts
There should be a salvage or scrap epilouge that's just a running session of all the locos that made it, that'd be epic
All so far that were not scrapped have been sold on eBay.
@@Night-zn4ew ah, i see.
Have always wondered is there a Sam's trains shop or sales yard. What do you do with all your fixed engines.
Nice one! Job well done!
Lol last month i also bought a buggered 5700 for, oddly enough, £1 less than yours. It was a hornby duck, but im currently restoring it in br black as no. 5741
