- Here is a new video !!
It's a 1218 American Flyer locomotive. 0 gauge.
This model had a lot of different colors (green,orange,...) and I decided to make a full black finish.
It was in very bad shape, pretty much rusted, not tested before being restored.
Please watch till the end to see this rare electric locomotive in action !
By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.

It is very obvious that you spend a lot of time to get the details just right on the restoration, but again, what most impressed me is the amount of time and effort you put into each video. Fantastic results! Thank you.
Thank you very much! I think I spend more time on the the editing ;)
@@TheFabrik I so love watching these videos. I love it when things get restored. 🥺🥺😍😍

Wow, wow, wow!
Who needs Netflix when I can binge these absolutely amazing videos. (1) The craftsmanship is second to none; (2) the attention to absolute detail is second to none; (3) and we cannot overlook the videoraphy, text narration and screenplay, which even includes silent humor.
I have no words. Just beautiful work and productions.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much !! 🙏 glad you enjoyed 😌🙌
I couldn't have put that better myself.
Well said......
The world needs more restorations, shame we live in a throw away culture
Remember people!☝️ These are the loving ❤️ hands ✋️ of restoration here! Respect!
Thanks a lot !
Toujours aussi passionnante, il y a JESUS pour ressusciter les hommes, et FABRIK pour les "jouets". Votre habileté est un plaisir pour les yeux Merci 💙💙🤍🤍❤❤
I had Am Flyer when I was little(50s)...still this was an above average restoration lol
Personally I like the rust on the exterior of the locomotive. Gives it some character, and that authentic old feeling
One thing that stands out: the proper tools for the job. The sign of a true craftsman.
Many thanks 🔧🪛⚙️⛏️
I'm a collector of antique trains, and these 100-year-old tinplate American Flyer trains actually have some value. However, despite the amazing job you did on this, I can't help but think that its actually lost some value by being restored like this. I mean, I'd still pay top dollar for it, but I'm sure others would argue it. Great job none the less.
Thank you very much ! I know it has lost its value because of the restoration :/
@@TheFabrik but at the same time, keeping it as a rusting hulk isn't exactly the best fate for it
@@yeoldeseawitch i agree :) My two little boys are now playing with that locomotive ...🥳
@@TheFabrikThat’s perfect. I understand why people want to collect things in their original condition, but toys are meant to be played with!
this one didn't look too bad from the outside but that motor looked like it needed at alot of work. Great work! :)
sehr gut arbeit 💯👍hoch ng
The "pickling" technique to remove rust and old paint has been demonstrated on this channel before, but I never cease to enjoy watching it. Thank-you for another excellent video!
Thanks a lot William 😌🙏
обожаю людей увлеченных своим делом , классно
Thank you !
Great job on 1924s American flyer locomotive restoration the fabrik 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you !!
Finally something from 🇺🇸 ! Keep it up!
Yeah !!! 😃
I never tire of watching your amazing skills in saving another toy from the scrapyard. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for continuing to watch my videos! And thank you for commenting...it means a lot to me 🙏🙏🙏
It's so amazing to see these pre plastic era toys, these little things were built like tanks
I have a 1930’s American Flyer New York Central lines streamlined locomotive that belonged to by Dad(r.i.p.) that sat in the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina for 2 weeks , the brackish water ate half the wheels off , motor ruined ect, I only wish i could restore it to great working condition like you do, you truly have a excellent and precise skill for the tedious restorations
Thank you for sharing this memory with me and thank you for your comment.🙏 Why don't you try to restore this object which must have a lot of value for you ?
Beautiful restoration of the toy electric train, and a few remaining classics worth saving.
Many thanks 🙏
Hi, I often think where do you find these old items, then there is the stripdown and the restoration process. The results are aways amazing, another old toy running and if looked after will last for decades. Thanks for sharing your skills. Cheers, Paul. 🚂🔨🪛🖌👍👍👍
Thank you very much Paul !! I bought this one on eBay a few weeks ago
Brilliant restoration of the old Locomotive
Thanks a lot 🙌
If you had the wagons it was perfect. Very good work. Congratulations
Thank you 👍
I so enjoy all your videos. Wish they came more frequently, but as they say, "Beggars can't be choosers." Haha. Cheers.
More to come!
Accuracy is everything 👍

🙌 Thank you !!
One of my favourite builds so far. Not much rust and simple cleaning tech. Nice
The love of trains never leaves. Great restore work.
I completely agree! I have a couple of old ones I can't repair. This talent is exceptional!
@@brln4 Do you know what kind of locomotives they are, depending on what they are I might be able to provide a little bit of help. I don't really know much about O scale, but I know plenty about 1970's and 1980's locomotives.
Ah ! ces trains... ils nous manquaient ! Cette restauration est magnifiquement réalisée jusque dans les moindres détails, comme toujours !!! Vous êtes un perfectionniste et, pour notre plus grand plaisir, on s'y est bien habitués !!! Merci. On attend la suite...
Как красиво! Спасибо!
I love how you breathe new life into these toys
Thank a lot. Glad you enjoyed it !
Heck of a toy and an excellent restoration. I’m glad the termites were still holding hands.
Each video comes close to perfection for the quality and inventiveness of the image setting, brilliant !
You have so many locomotives, but they lack a car! :)
Absolument magnifique !!!👍👍👍
Imagine a whole scenery with all your recovered and reconstructed trains. Now that would be a sight.
I’m thinking about it 👍🏻
Beautiful restore job! I bought an old rusted motor early 1940s engine. I thought I'd try to restore. You gave me some good ideas, but if I can't restore the rusted motor, I see I can buy a used replacement motor if needed for my project! Thanks 😊
Wow, it was an incredible restoration, then I saw it in action 😲
Thank you very much 👍
T'is Sunday morning and I got my treat!! Beautifully done. What a result!! Take care 🙂
Thank you so much Isabelle 😌
Отличная работа. 👋🏻💯👍
Absolutely beautiful restoration. ~Kevin
Thanks a lot 👍
Qué maravillas de juguetes Clásicos increíble diseño para su época y de unos materiales muy duraderos.. por eso duraron tanto Tiempo.felicidades . Eres una especie en vías de Extinción
muchas gracias ! Espero que mi especie sobreviva unos años más. 😉
Nice job
Thank you The Fabric 👋
This is very very very nice I like it very much ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it ! Thanks to you for watching and commenting 🤩
Beautifully photographed. Exquisitely recorded sound. You took us back into the past to show us the secrets of craftsmen who lived a century ago. I was thrilled.
Glad you enjoyed it ! Thank you very much 🙌
Comme a ton habitude une merveille de savoir faire.🤓
Merci Charles 😌🙌
Masterful masterpiece! But I couldn't see if the light was on? 👍
this was INCREDIBLE!!!
Great restoration
Such amazing work
Thank you so much 😀
Отличная работа 👏👌🤘
А сейчас пройдешь в мастерскую, там говорят, что если нет новой запчасти, ремонтировать не станут. Рукожопые.
Always love to see you fix trains!!!
Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you like it ! Thank you🙏
i LOVE these model train videos
That looks awesome!, and maybe, just maybe, you can find rolling stock for it
Satisfying restoration
beautiful restoration
Thanks a lot mate 👍
This was a very delicate piece to restore and a very sensitive, careful, and complete restoration was done.This train would be great display piece for an office or library. Fantastic!!
Restored toys are made to be used by children, not for useless display. Try and make children happy !
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed. I'll keep that loco ;)
I have two little boys and i can tell you they love to turn that locomotive on !!!😁 'Dad can we play with the choo choo ?'😅
@@Cadadadry Sorry you did not like my opinion.
Por lo que veo as tenido que inventar tus propias herramientas 👍 felicitaciones
Claro ! Muchas gracias 🙏
Great job on the body and decal work. As a model train runner I knew that one needed oil in several places, especially the armature and axle ends, and gears...
Great point! I didn't show it but I put oil in the engine ;)
В чистом поле поезд мчится, чисто в поле, чисто поезд))
Absolutely amazing!
Good restoration! 🛠👍
I never realized that American Flyer ran on "O" gage. Lionel ran on "O" and super "O" gage.
It's always amazing just how many different parts there are in one of these toys.
Yup, I agree. Back then there's a lot but the majority last long. Whereas some of today's today's have fewer parts but breaks easily ( *coughs* made in China *coughs* )
That bell piece is in really good condition
Many thanks 🙌
A beautiful restoration, or rather, a great metamorphosis! The attention to detail is extraordinary. The result is absolutely great.
You are the number one! Thanks from 🇮🇹
Another great project, the patience you use is amazing
Patience is the key 🥲😅
quedo hermoso los juguetes de metal son lo mejor
Потрясающе!
Превосходная работа! ❤

Bonjour The Fabrik,
bon, ben encore une superbe restauration ! Merci pour vos indications concernant l'épaisseur du métal et la décision de sabler ou non ! Et bravo aussi pour le montage vdiéo.
J'ai l'impression que la qualité de ce film, en particulier celle de la macro, s'est améliorée. Pourtant la barre était déjà bien haute ! Chapeau !

I think your TH-cam account was hacked. I just received an email from you through TH-cam that I won a prize.
@@ccrm10 what ?
You mean on your mailbox ??
Yes, I got an email from TH-cam saying it was you and to contact you on an app called Telegram. They wanted me to pay for shipping for prizes I won.

Happy to hear that!
Beautiful job on a beautiful piece. Seeing that locomotive run was just the sweet icing on the cake, kudos! 🙌
Thank you very much 🙌
Bravo très belle restauration!!!!!!!!!
Probably the best restoration I have ever seen & extremely well filmed, excellent work thank you.
Wow 😊 Glad you enjoyed it ! Thanks to you for watching and commenting 🙏
jouet dans un bon état de conservation qui avec un peu d'attention fonctionne parfaitement a nouveau. je suis toujours impressionné par la qualité des moteurs electrique
de l'époque.
Je vous avoue que je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'il démarre du premier coup... Ces moteurs 1218 sont réputés pour leur fiabilité.... C'est rare d'avoir un moteur français de l'époque qui fonctionne aussi bien ;)
Look very amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow! That’s beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
That is awesome!!!! Such a beauty!
Thank you very much 👍
Чудова робота.
I don't give 10 cares in the world if people say these are fake this is just entertaining and could help the rust metal trains that you want to fix up it's still helpful just not always true it's basically lying butt you are so helping while I'm saying is is I don't care if this is faker not either way it helps
Thank you ! Everyone can check the recent sales on eBay. I bought this one from there, couple days before the restoration, just in that exact condition 👍 No cheating here :)
Great job. It's beautiful!!!
Fantastic craftsmanshift and great video editing skills.
Thank you !!! 😀👍
This is so cool! I absolutely love this. Keep it up man!
Your videos have the exact correct amount of everything! Thank you!
Thank you !!
Чудесная работа!
Very cute train, well done. I also have a train for restoration. Can't wait for start with that project.
Oh really ? Looking forward to see it !! 🙌
Great job!I got an aesthetic pleasure!
New subscriber here. I am a tinkering kind of guy and I watch alot of restoration videos. Your work stands out for vastly superior and unique videography. I am particularly impressed by the way you use transitions to move to the next component to be addressed. Well done.
