Been watching you for a while now. It's refreshing to see someone give love and a bit of care to these old loco's, even imperfect as they are. So many people would just abandon them and leave them to the rubbish pile. Keep doing what you're doing 👍

@SMT Mainline SMT: "Oh shoot, lost a wheel..." Engine: "No problem! 'Tis but a scratch! I'll just keep going..."

Great motor the X04! You were really lucky to find what is clearly a brand new one in Canada!! Loco really needs some buffers though!

As I watched you work on this, I really wanted you to do the full Monty on it. Strip the paint and completely overhaul and rebuild. Good job getting it going!

In addition to a loose screw you have a lost wheel! Just funnin' with you. Keep the great videos coming. It is very inspirational watching you make engines run again. Thanks!

I got my first model train in 1958 and your videos bring back many good memories. You're a genius at resurrecting these old trains. Greetings from Brisbane Australia.

Great video as always. The loco looks like a white metal kit built using an adopted tri ang 4 4 0 chassis. I am not an OO gauge modeller, but I am pretty sure that tri ang never made a 4 4 2 chassis. It looks like it only picks up from one set of wheels, so you may want to improve on that.

Nice job once again bringing an HO locomotive back to life. 👍

Really nice restoration on it. It’s crazy that there was paint kinda all over the old motor.

The doctor scores again!!!! Well done

Wow I'm amazed of the way you can work non working train's

I'm glad you got that North British Railway H class up and running again. I have some old Tri-Ang rolling stock and I can tell you the flanges on that stuff are much thicker and the rails sit higher than code 100. They were refined to code 100 standard around the late 60s/early 70s. British model trains have been more kitbuilt longer than their American counterparts. In fact, some British model train manufactures still provide some rolling stock kits.

SMT - You should certainly now clean the rails on the main line! Your Volt-Ohm-Meter will be very useful. That square black pushbutton switch is to select different ranges of resistance, voltage, & current. The lower ohms range (Omega symbol) will be good for checking continuity, the higher kiloohms & megaohms ranges would be good for checking the resistors used in electronic circuits. The voltage and current will have different ranges, plus selecting AC or DC. You had to correct many errors that the original modeler did when they constructed the locomotive!

Good lord…imagine how nice that would look stripped and repainted 😊

Now there's a OO with pizza cutters for you ! Nice job!

Hey SMT great video, and I want to thank you for getting me into the model railroading hobby. I’ve been watching your videos for about 2 years now, and it’s cool to see the progress on you layout from then to now, keep doing great work.

Would suggest getting more Hornby/Tri-ang tracks to expand on the circle layout

There was no doubt in my mind that you would get it running again. Great job. From Texas

Nice NBR class H Reid Atlantic, later class C11 LNER. They worked out of Edinburgh and Aberdeen to Glasgow, Carlisle and Newcastle I believe. Nice job! Joachim

It's an early seventies white metal GEM locomotive kit that has been assembled and painted badly. If you search for Worthpoint GEM North British Railway Atlantic Class 1 ( LNER C9/C10 ) 4mm you should see a kit that was for sale with an illustration of the makers well assembled one and a description of the parts included or needed. In the UK hundreds of different types of locomotives were only available as kits and so were produced mainly in the period of the mid fifties to eighties. White Metal kits were cheap to tool up for a manufacturer but difficult to assemble well except for very skilled modellers. I suspect this one had the original chassis ruined by the builder and so tried to use a working Triang 4-4-0 instead. In the rare case where it is built and modified well to correct shortcomings in the design a very powerful and unique locomotive can result. On KZfaq Tony Wright often explains why he only uses these well built kits on his massive layout and so being able to pull scale length trains. However even he will not touch some old sub standard kits.

Hello! It was a pleasure to look at - great renovation! The British steam locomotive cannot be confused with something else. 👍

I was dying when the wheel fell off

Nice job getting that one back to life. I got an interesting engine it's a battery powered Hot Wheels engine It works though I have no track or cars and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it but let it sit for now and at $4 I just couldn't pass it up especially being a Diecast Collector

Best explanation is that a child, or unskilled painter at least, got ahold of it one day and decided to 'improve' the look with fresh paint. Gads, the paint looks like it was slathered on like icing! Good job getting it to run at least.

Funny hearing the little footsteps🤣🤣🤣

The loco is a British kite build, made by a company called south eastern fine cast. It's a model of a Scottish company called north british railway from the 1920s. The kit used parts of a early triang loco,all of the smaller wheels came with kit.

When the wheel fell off it got me good 🤣😂😂😂😂😂

Pre-Triang brass rail Series 0 (1950), Triang Series 1 (1950 - 1951), Triang Series 2 (1952 - 1958), Triang Series 3 (1958 - 1961) & Triang Super 4 track systems are all Code 250 rail profile height. Triang - Hornby System 6 track is Code 100 rail profile height.

Great video. If you ever have any unusable motors, metal, plastic, never throw it out. You can always mail off to us at The Eco Guys, and we can recycle it. We can recycle just about anything. So no more "throw it out" LOL... Love your videos, and made me come back to the hobby. Oh my other channel is John Wild KILLROY, so I have messaged you there as well...

Well look at Mr fancy pants here with his voltmeter and motor rewinding 😂. Seriously though Harrison I honestly don't think there's a broken locomotive short of someone taking the late great Gallagher's Sledgomatic to that you can't bring back from the brink.

Great job Harrison - definitely one of top repair videos! We love watching them! Please continue to challenge yourself with the engine repairs. Thanks again for giving us great content!

i couldn’t comment last night but now i can, i got excited when i saw this video last night.

Great video. Its nice to see restoration videos on things other than consoles and computers

SMT Manual British OO/HO Hornby. But also mentioned in the "land of misfit locomotives section," lol Great save Harrison🚂🇨🇦🙋

The locomotive is brown and considering the overall state the locomotive was in I think a good name for this locomotive would be the “Big Rolling Turd”.

If you don't have one, I highly recommend that you pick up a "Gear Puller." NWSL makes a nice one. Super useful for getting worm gears off of a drive shaft and also for pulling wheels off of axles.

Great save👍

All I can say is WOW!! Harrison the Magician!!!

Just one thing, NBR stands for "North British Railway", which was based in Scotland. :)

👍SMT, If you don't use bubblegum and twist ties on a repair, your not fixing it right. LOL! Congrats Harrison, you made it run so good the wheel fell off, it's just like brand new !🤣😂😅👍 People are a little strange painting the whole damn Loco including the motor, just to put it on a Mantel like a Trophy! 🤣🤣🤣Funny Episode I had a good laugh, thank's I needed that, Cheers! 👍

What could be sweeter than restoring to running condition an abused junker loco with a flea market bargain.

I'm amazed how you can fix a not working train

This is an old white metal kit of a North British Railway Atlantic on a butchered Tri-ang chassis-possibly by someone like Keyser, who were very popular once upon a time. Tri-ang did make a 4-4-0, but the wheelbase on yours looks shorter, which makes me wonder if this actually uses the chassis out of the M7, with the 4-wheel bogie transposed to the front. The cylinders and rods look like they come off a Princess. Horrible gloopy looking and slightly wonky kitbashes weren’t uncommon in the ‘60s- I’m not sure why, although there was less provision for modellers then. If stripped, cleaned, tidied and repainted though, it could be a presentable little model of a rather handsome prototype.

This loco would have left the factory in an unbuilt condition, it looks to be a white metal kit on a modified Triang chassis, as Triang used injection moulded cellulose acetate plastic, then polystyrene, whereas kit manufacturers would make white metal bodies designed for existing chassis’s, often designing them for fitting on Triang drive systems. Triang never made any 4-4-2 Atlantic locos, so this is likely using the driven part of the 4-4-0 L1 chassis with custom bogies fitted, hope this helps you learn a little more about that model :)

SIR, SIR! WE HAVE AN ENGINE THAT NEEDS HELP RIGHT NOW! IT HAS NO ENGINE, NO WHEELS, NO CHASY AND ECT, ONLY THE BOILER AND THE TENDER! Can you fiz it? 5 hours later: SMT comes back with a totally new engine like if it was just out of the box. SMT can fix ANYTHING!

Idk why but on the first test run when you took the tender off it seemed a bit aggressive, like you were mad at it or something lol.

Nice work 🙂

nice work. Strange locomotive though!

paint on the wheels and motor... now that is something new.

great video

The class of engine is a Robinson H1 built in the 1910s to 1920s on the gnr they were all scraped in 1950 to 1960

Nice very nice all the way up to when the wheel fell off😂 Had your hands full on that one. 😅

I think what this is is a locomotive kit that was made when triang was still in its early days, looks like someone rewheeled it (Romford?) And is just using a cut down princess chassis

Serenity! You have a runner! W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

good job , thx for resumen 👍

A Reid Atlantic from the Highland Railway (pre-1923 Grouping of railways).

Congrats on 80k!

I love these kinds of videos! An almost hopeless case of locomotive neglect and it’s runs AGAIN!! Well, sort of, kinda… More like wobbles again…😅

Awesomeness!!!

Can you do a decoder install video on an old Bachmann steam engine?

nice work for a c60,s white metal kit on a proprietry chassis, the paint job,(obviously hand painted) is on par for handmade models othe 50/60's era..nice work getting it running again :)

Its finally happened! Yay!

The locomotive looks like a GEM product or George E Mellor product , SMT .

Over 80K subscribers!! Incredible! Will your next video be repairing the old Triang loco you ripped that motor out of? Lol. “Welllll folks, in today’s video, I’m going to try and fix this motor less Triang loco which I bought second hand. All I need is a …. motor.” “Well, it’s a been a week and low and behold I found an old Triang loco on eBay. So I’ll just take the motor from this one and..” Repeat script. 😉 Great job as always. I love how you fired up the torch with zero explanation. Why not eh?

From tree ornament to rail riding 😮

Muy bien 👍👏😌

That was good but it's Nice shot

I went on a train yesterday and it was so much fun 🎉 Yesterday 4/8/2023

Please what is that small hand held screw diver with the bits in the handle please... Great job restoring your locomotive Awesome...

Did he get to fix the wheel back on at the end of the video?

This is the only LNER C10 Aka C11 (North British Railways I Aka H Class) on your channel a it's the Rarest one

I think it’s a H1 class

nice

How did they paint that thing - dip it in a tin of house paint?

I think the comment about the loco being dropped may not be too far off. The cab looks to bent downward in the back of the locomotive. This may be more damage than just the front of the locomotive. Hopefully, nothing else was damaged too much such as the frame.

That thing isn't painted, its glazed like a cake.

Smt can you do a video of showing all your british train?

Mainline,I have a question HOW DO YOU AFFORD THIS

When he tried to run it with the tender then he got fed up and just threw it.

Hi Harrison, it's a Triang x04 motor. Carl.

Hello smt mainline love your videos and also can you get a cfr train? If not it is okay bye!

@9:19... what tool u used to clean up wheels?

My bet is that this kit was built by a child or teenager, that only had a basic understanding of kit building, the paint of the motor looks like it was transfer from when the kit was originally painted. All of the other details, such as the painted wheels tells me that the kit was painted when it was fully assembled, which as any model builder will tell you is a big mistake, for the reasons shown in this video. I would also guess that when the model failed to run due to the obvious, the builder just gave up on it.

you need a puller to take offworm gears

very early triang/hornby seeing as a cast body also very early hornby coupling (1960s) , it would have been in great western green livery (GWR) not brown thats a calidonian rail livery , hope this helps ....

You need a remagnetiser for the magnet.

Would be gool if one of those used solinoids instead of a motor.

Dat wheel just gave up

Great 🎉🎉🎉😅

lovley engine, unfortunate it is a nightmeare (both looking and mechanically 😬)

A long vid on good and bad UK locomotive kits and how to assemble them : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5d0erSkvcfUdp8.html The vid title is wrong. What Tony Wright is aiming to achieve with good, but expensive, kits : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5iZn8l5vtevioU.html

Bro yeet the tender

THEY FORGOT TO TAKE OFF THE SHELL

I thought you threw that thing away 🤣

Did you get your tools as hand me down from a neanderthal ? Between this and your habbit of putting potentially dangerous untested rollingstock on your powered layout is kinda scary. Don’t you have 12v test leads or a continuity tester to check for shortcuts?

It's cool u can fix trains better then me cause I struggle to much with mine. But I do try my best to fix my trains. But I do love it trains and enthusiasm

Lost a wheel...that can't be good 😀

You should buy prewar lionel train rough ones restore them

🤠

Hi smt I have a Chattanooga locomotive 0-8-0 it needs a lot of work it works but it needs tires and a smokebox store and some side rod parts I wish to get it working again I am new in the hobby
