Sometimes I think that there is very little sadder than an abandoned toy; something that made a child happy many years ago, and is now aged and lost, played with by no one. You do good work.
To remedy some of the rough running, I reccomend setting one side of the driving wheels at 90 degrees to the other side. This is called "quartering" and it balances out the weight in the wheel
Watching you bring old dead toys , Back to life ,is a joy , been lot's of grief in my life lately , sounds strange , been healing , thank you and blessings on you
Christmas 1930 (or something) Boxing Day, a child, perhaps waiting for years on end for his most wanted present. A steam locomotive and his favourite too! He’s playing with it in front of the fire place day after day, weeks, months but slowly but surely the little train moved from the boys room to the attic where it waited to make place for other forgotten toys and moved to a Misty and water leaking shed were it’s rest till it was found again and restored in it’s old sheen colours and it runs till it’s spring runs to an end and it was put in a closet were everybody could enjoy it’s beauty. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but my youth came along with this video 🥲 how can I thank you for sharing this beautiful video with me 👍👍❤️
Don't see how you can remember where all the parts goes so you can put it back together again! Good Job. So much attention to detail and time. Makes me so happy to see restorations on things from long ago. Be nice if more people cared.
My very favourite part of restoration videos is watching replacement parts be created from scratch. This video not only had that, but even the fabrication of a tool to remove the wheels! Thank-you, I enjoyed this very much. 👏
Saved from the dustbin of historical toys. You have achieved a remarkable restoration of this toy loco and your engineering skills are to be congratulated on especially the wheel remover tool. These large tin plate locos remind me of my childhood and it certainly bought back some happy memories. Job well done.
The tiny workers are very impressed with your effort. Their body language shows they have great respect and reverence for the new life of the engine and tender.
First of all: thank you for your videos! There are many reasons why I appreciate them. In random order: great workmanship, relaxed atmosphere without shock effects so typical of our days, great recording, the work soundscapes and the music you have chosen, just the love of old toys, the joy of doing something by yourself and not once more buying more things. I wish there was at least somebody alive who have actually made these toys decades ago. He/she should absolutely see your videos!
This restoration made me so happy to watch. The attention to detail and keeping it original down to the color is awesome and is missing in a lot of the other channels who do this. Great job.
That tools to remove wheels was something! I think that with a little bit of body filler the result would have been perfect. But still it's an impressive job! 👍
I kinda like the damage that’s still their, gives it a more authentic and old style look to it. To me it looks more realistic like that then it would, if it was perfectly restored.
Hats off to you for getting the train back to its almost original state! I own models trains that are not toys. Also, thanks for keeping the music down to a minimum, just to the end. Du bist toll!
Your talent for restoring these old toys, trains especially, is quite amazing. The tool you came up with to get the wheels off was very interesting. I like to restore things too but I wouldn't know how to tackle something like that. My restorations are of a more simple nature. But I'm getting some ideas from watching you that may help what I do. The engine and tender turned out beautifully.
Wow- Oh my god- I am in SHOCK! Right before my eyes you turn this rusty piece of junk into a shiny train! I am sharing this with my friends. This is AMAZING!!
You know the thing is old when you can remove the rivets by bare hands (or gloved hands in this case) What I thought to be the pitting was the coal stack carved onto the piece...wow. Making a tool just to remove things from a particular toy, with painting and all....shows dedication. Loved the video.
Hello, darling. We are your new big fans - me and my 3 yrs old boy. We are from a family of technologists and we are so happy to watch you work!!! Keeping fingers crossed in each video and highly excited when the work is done and everything works how it was meant. You should rename your brand as a RESCUER OF ABANDONED AND LOST. :-)
Hey Monika thank you very much for your support. So gratifying to know that kids watch my vids too !!! I also have two boys so it means a lot. Thank you 🙏
You my friend are 2% magician and 80% talented. I knew that you could do it, super duper great job. I knew it was the coolest. 🤗 Hands down the Best. 🦁
Outstanding video, I work on 1940s and 50s model trains and have a few of the old ones. But I like to gut the windup which is usually broken, restore the sheet metal then adapt a 50s electric motor chassis so i can run it on my layout. I one cast metal body that must weight 2 or 3 pounds. Excellent video and technique, you are an artist is the restoration process. Thank You so much for sharing. Dennis in Virginia
Another fabulous job. These videos are totally mesmerizing. The dry humor inserted here & there is nice, also (never overly done). For example, popping the packing air bubbles at the beginning 0:33. Who among us did not want to reach into the video and do that. 😆
J’adore ce moment bien particulier où l’on reçoit un paquet. Celui où on prend le temps de l’ouvrir pour découvrir le trésor qui s’y cache.! Super vidéo comme à chaque fois!!
That was worth it ! Thanx for the fun, man ! I did one too . It was garbage...now it's in my display cabinet ! It took me weeks to finish it at work ... Now, it's beautiful !
I find it interesting how so many of these older toys are assembled by metal flaps holding things in place whereas today it's usually just done with glue and screws
Great job with the restoration. There are tools and techniques to re-quarter the drive wheels so it doesn't jump around so much running. It is fiddly work to get perfect.
I bow respectfully to your expertise and skill. Most of all, you can place dozens of pieces without forgetting, I think that's the summit.😅. If it were me, I'd struggle for months. Congratulations. you are amazing
There's no way it could have been electric since the clockwork drive is present. The lamp socket is probably used to have a bulb under the chimney to heat oil to produce smoke. This model probably takes inspiration from the streamlined engines from PLM, wich were put under SNCF ownership after the war (SNCF dates from 1937). These were the only streamlined locos in France as far as I know. And these were (and the whole train) painted... blue! (Fantastic work by the way)
Hi Damien thanks a lot for watching and commenting. I thought it may have had an electric motor before. Wow I would have like to have that smoke system 😳 Thanks for all these infos.. again😉
Fascinating... Reminds me of what my grandfather used to say to me all the time. He said, "For almost every job I do, I have to make a tool to do it with."
It just can't be put together wrong. Maybe in the wrong order but part A cant possibly go where part B should.be. Not to diminish the extra skill this man has. I know ...making a living repairing clocks for the last 50 years

Wow! What you started with and ended up with is miraculous. I really didn't think you would get the spring working again. Very nice work. All that rust, and nothing of it left but beautiful paint and polished trim. Thanks for sharing.
Man, this has a huge monolithic feel to it. Reminds me a lot of the trains from Goldeneye and Snowpiercer, or a steam version of the combine razor trains from Half-Life 2.

Great job sir. It was good that you had that tiny Rail Road Architect and his helper on hand to tell you that you would need a special tool to remove the wheels.

The train seems almost joyous scuttling along the tracks at the end; you did a brilliant job breathing life back into this beautiful little toy!
Wow! The previous generations really made and took great pride in their creations, even toys.
I love your restauration work! These metal toys were just so beautiful.
WOW! I am amazed at the transformation… I couldn’t imagine the finished train could look so fantastic. Awesome work!

It looked like the battery may have been in the tender.
