The best repair work video I have ever seen. THANK YOU !!!!!
Hello,
Very interesting and correctly filmed, congratulations !
Awesome Video with these work Repair Videos you learn something Everyday helps making the Decision of fixing my own Engine..
Which is Atlas N Scale GP39-2.. Allen D
Rda N Scale
I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!!
Thanks so much for the video! Got some big fears lol
Looks to me like the locomotive fell to the floor and broke the Lug off. I know it's 5 years , but you should probably check the other truck.
I believe, they call those, not tabs but, King pins. Boy a good hit, can break them
Nice crossbow
Great vid. The schematic page. I need several for locos and cars that I have. How would I go about finding them on line?
Thanks for watching. I would try manufacturer's website first, looking for downloads. If nothing there call their parts department. If all else fails, I would look model railroading fans sites on Facebook and the internet. I've gotten a wealth of information and help from old time model railroaders.
I like that show me some more videos if you have time I have a question I have to get the paperwork then I'll come back to you on Monday
This help a bunch ,thanks again for the in depth repair!!
at 8:50 , that would be called a thrust washer by some
That didn't seem difficult at all, I guess the biggest thing is not to lose any of the tiny parts, that's happend to me once or twice eventually I found em but it was a pain...
F.W.M...
Need a truck gear for a loco I can’t identify. Maybe tyco... doesn’t say. “Made in Hong Kong”. Plastic. Are they “ one size fits all “?... hopefully.
Any thoughts about where to look? Thank you. Oh... it’s a GT 5808. Blue w/ some orange. 💁
It would be best to find what fits it, before trying to engineer a repair. Search the road name and loco number on eBay to tray and find it's twin. The listing should have the manufacturers name.
IMHO you should've tried to fix the original. I think superglue mixed with baking soda would've done the trick at no cost!
When I'm paid to repair someone's equipment I don't take shortcuts. Had it been my own, maybe.
Thanks for the video, that was really useful! My Altas Alco S-2 developed a lot of stuttering recently. I was told the trick is to disassemble the trucks and cleanup the dust that accumulates around the axles and the electric pickup plates; you showed exactly how easy that is to do by pulling carefully the little plastic tabs on the trucks. And now the engine is running like a charm again!
Well done
I've stumbled onto your channel, and I'm sooo glad I did, they are full of treasures like this, great video, you make things simple, thanks for the great info.
I didn't notice you putting the headlight back in it's slot, and there wasn't a headlight on when the test drive was done. Is this because it wasn't running DCC?
Good observation! It was DCC, I think I had it turned off.
Great instructional video. Well done. Thanks
I really liked this video. Very informative. I found this while looking to find a remedy for the problem I having with one of my engines but I haven't been able to find an answer.. I have a life like I think is a gp-40, the side panel on the truck drag on the rail but I can't see any thing to adjust. Every thing looks in place but that little shoe rides on the rail and can't keep the engine on the track or running. any thought you may have on this? would appreciate any help you can give me on this, thanks.
+AngeloL49 I believe what you are referring to is the side frame. The part that is on the exterior of the trucks that show the details of the trucks. Dont hold me to this, but I believe that on the very bottom of the of the truck, there is a panel that you can remove to access the wheels and gears. Once that panel is removed, it will allow the side frames to be removed. When that panel is connected, it locks in to the pins that side frames side into to keep them in place. What I think, is that one of those pins has broken, allow the side frame to "droop" when setting on the track. Check that out and let me know. Be careful when trying to pry the clips loose to remove the panel. If at all possible Google a schematic of your locomotive, it will normally show how to completely disassemble all parts of the loco and offer some incite into removing that panel.
Thanks for your reply. I believe I found the problem and seems to come from an out of gauge flex track, at least one problem. seems in one of the loco truck the weels has been push inward and keep fallen inside the track. Took me a while to notice it. Noticed the draging on the engine on the flex track.
Sounds good. You may want to buy a track guage. They're called NMRA HO scale Wheel and Track guage. This tool will allow you to measure the width of the wheels and the distance between the rails. A must when laying flex track.
Thanks.. I have one on order.
Hope to see more videos like this in the future.
Beautiful Video! I love ur meticulously approach & attitude manner throughout ur video, not to mention authentic! I had exactly the same problem and Viola! I fixed my truck with ur video guidance! Well done, my friend!! And Bless you!
Excellent video your attention to detail as to how to take things apart and trying different camera angles was fantastic. I was able to fix a newer model using the basics you show. Thank you!
Daniel Marein-Efron thank you for viewing and yiur kind words. Glad it helped you.
Can I get replacement parts for a 1990's vintage Walthers FM H10-12? I need the truck frame with the electric pickups attached. having no luck Thanks
Excellent video. Thanks !
I did not see headlamp upon final Test ?
Most through video I have ever found of this sort.
Blessings,
Mike
Can I send you an Atlas engine for repair?
Very nice tutorial. Thank you!
can i send loco to you for repair
Sorry sir. I no longer do that. But depending on where you live there may be a shop near you. In Salisbury NC there is a place called the Little Choo Choo Shop. They are great! Can probably help you out of point you towards someone nearer to you.
@@FNGFASHA thank you are fast reply, in FL
More of a "replace" than "repair" video. Your "client" drop the loco at some time?
Yep, it took a nose dive off a rail when someone raise the "bridge" to exit the room and didn't put it back down. Upside, the club learned that the kill switch needed to be fix :-O
I figured as much ;) On that note, I came across someone on here who cleverly used a couple of Push Buttons (always Off) to deactivate their bridge when in the up position.
James Brock Yea we had the same thing. but somehow it got unplugged.
I'd say that loco took a cruise to the floor.
That loco took a cruise to the floor.
Farmer Dave lmao, yes in deed
@@FNGFASHA I know this only because my Atlas SD35 took a cruise to the floor and broke the same exact part.
