The thing I find interesting about older model trains is that they weren't models, they were toys. This thing was probably worn out by a child who loved it to the moon and back, because it was indeed an affordable toy, not a complicated model. Super cool!

I think salvage or scrap has to be one of the best segments on your channel, I may not always be around for some of your unboxing vids but I'll be damned if I miss another episode of salvage or scrap!

In season 1 every engine survived the scrap man but here in season 2 were now seeing the scrap man in action

Great repair, however the images of the final product are so dark, you can’t really see it , need more lighting or camera exposure . Cheers

I for one would love to see a Scrap Or Salvage 'special episode' where there's no time limit and the loco is proper minging! XD A full on 0 to 100 restoration. If it's too much to get sorted, the EVIL scrap-man can have it :P

Yay! My favorite specialty Sam's Trains video series is back. And a shunter, too. Thanks, Sam, and cheers from Wisconsin!

Yes! More Salvage or Scrap, I am glad this is back

Glad to see season 2 of Salvage and Scrap. Your channel prompted me to salvage my trainset from my parents' house and finally starting working on my layout, an old childhood dream that is finally coming true. I salvaged my three Lima engines servicing them like you do! Great channel and let's hope you keep the Evil Scrapman on a strict diet. Greetings from Italy!

Great video. I love this series so exiting & fun to watch.

I'm so happy you decided to do more of these Sam. They're amazing

This series is fantastic, Sam and I’m so glad to see it back! Your videography, model railway collections, and transparency/honesty is all top notch and makes for the best channel in the hobby. You’re the greatest! Trevor

Oh, I have one of these, painted all yellow. I always found it fascinating because it's such an old loco with a built-in light. Mine still works quite well, though it could probably do with some maintenance. If I had any handiwork skills I'd probably rig it up with a wire or something so I could make a battery wagon for it.

Lovely episode Sam! Can't wait for the next episode to come out!

this series makes me happy, it feels oddly nostalgic and give off cbbc vibes. i love it

Pleased to see Salvage or Scrap back , I think the loco you was working on was not from 1958 but 1972 as it has the newer pickup and later number . The older version had one the couplings as part of the body and was number 5 . David

Even if it's too late, I would like to say that the jumping of the wheels may come from some junk stuffed in the pinnions/worm gear, locally filling the gap and forcing the pinion out of the worm gear, resulting in the vibrations. I think that both worm gears are filled, resulting in the pinion disengaging during one rotation of the worm gear and re-engageing in the precedent spot, because of the loco's weight and inertia, resulting in the wheels going back and forth by a few degrees without ever making a full rotation

Sam, I cannot thank you enough for bringing this back, I adore this show as it’s such a nice break from the normal everyday life, thank you so much, and keep up the great content! - TIDS

Love this series. It honestly feels like something you'd actually see on TV. Also, I'm sorry, but I gotta say it: Still waiting to see if the Heljan 1361 shows up on one of these series xD

Hi Sam. Please accept my compliments about the quality of your current video productions, and in particular your full-face introductory commentary in this video where your focus and colour saturation and white balance is absolutely perfect. The container-wall "industrial" backdrop in this video is a welcome change as well (even though I fully appreciate that your normal upstairs loft view in your normal videos provides a consistency that many viewers feel comfortable with). Keep up the outstanding work and I wish you every success in the future.

Nice video Lord Warwell! This shall certainly help me fix my DMU!

Yay! Salvage or scrap is back I love this series :) this diesel reminds me of rusty but standard gauge

This series is absolutely incredible, I can't wrap my head around how you can bring an old engine to a grand runner in such short time! - even if some fail Do you know the name of the song that you use for the intro? I would be extremely grateful to be able to hear the full version!

Lol this may be my favorite series! I’m impressed with how you manage to turn fixing these into TV-level quality videos!

Glad to see this series return as I enjoyed the 1st season

Brilliant to see this again nice one Sam

I recon my dad had this one a long time ago and let me incorporate it onto my old Hornby train set. I think I even remember there being sparks along the wheels as well. I'll have to dig through his loft and see if he still has it. Part of me wonders if we can get it working on our end.

I've got a two D cell and a two AA cell maglite. Great torches, very robust. I always used to smear vaseline around the threads, never had a swollen batter though some of the rechargeable AA batteries were a bit tight in the mini maglite.

Absolute joy to see the return of Salvage or Scrap! Brilliant work as always Sam!

Just to say that loco was still in production until well into mid 70s. I think yours mays be a 70s one with those style couplings and wire pick up

I really love this series!

Decent video Sam I like the change to better lighting when you are working on the model.

Yes! I have been waiting for this series to start again. Sorry Sam, but I am glad the Scrapman finally got a meal. I am sure he was starving. Waiting for the next episode.

You really improved on the editing and visual of this episode of the new series definitely better than the last series

awesome. everyone likes this series, including me. keep going my friend!

YES I LOVE THIS SERIES Good work sam

I remember these being on sale for 32/6d in proper money! Good little loco which used the power bogie from a Transcontinental Series diesel which looked like an F7 from the USA.

Sam why did you throw away Pumpkin Monster, you should've fed him to Scrapman. Do you usually feed Scrapman?

I have a dockside shunter that runs rough but I have all the time in the world to fix it. Nice!

YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS IM GONNA ENJOY THIS SALVAGE OR SCRAP PLS MAKE MORE I LOVE THESEEES

I have just started my own business doing this, saving old locos and sending them back out into the world! I think I have seen that dock shunter for sale, did you get it off eBay?

YES! I love the salvage or scrap shows

Nice to see Season 2 of this, It;s useful to learn how to repair them. I much prefer getting an old junker and making something of it then a new loco these days

YES IT'S BACK! I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!

MORE ! Fantastic content

Hi Sam, love this series. Shame the shunter had to be scrapped. I’ve just put my triang dock shunter “back on track” as you’d say and really enjoyed doing it as it was very poor condition. I got it from a job lot of stuff I only paid £10 for and I’ve really enjoyed making yt videos on it! Great video, Cheers Dan :)

Wow I didn't want expect this series to come back after the King Class but here we are. Sadly this cute little dock shunter was the first victim to the evil scrapman. A big shame really I like the Dock Shunter. But hey you did your best and technically it "worked" slightly 😅 but yeah I really like this series and that last time every loco made it back out was quite unexpected for me. Keep up the great work Sam 👍

Hi Sam ,, well done to get it all together and do wot ya did in 30 minutes but ya shooda kept it for parts instead a just givin it to the scrap monster haha. Keep up the good work and gr8 video's there Sam its keeping me entertained and you can't ask for much than that can ya hey. Anyhoo Cheers from John in Australia.

Fantastic series.

im glad to see this series back

Hi Sam. Did you clean the back face of the wheels, as that is where the pick up connects? Also, with this type of power bogie, you can add a jumper wire to improve the electrical pathway. I would check the gearing for crud to address the wobbly wheels. Love this aspect of the hobby. Just got 16 non runners in a job lot, all should be restorable with a few spares or just some TLC. £12 cost average plus £5 average for spares. Well worth the time investment in my opinion. Keep it up.

Love the new intro Sam!

Awesome video today Sam made me laugh a bit with the scrap monster lol

Hi sam I hope you're ok Glad to see salvage or scrap back i really enjoyed it last time

Letsss goooo a new episode of salvage or scrap this is has to be some of the best stuff on your channel

One of my favorite as a child and still have it. A little work horse. It's simplicity invited disassembly by a curious mind.

Nice one Sam! Love your vids!

There is a brass bearing and a tiny ball bearing at each end of the armature. The bearing lubrication pads look new - it's easy to lose the ball-bearing when replacing them. The glimpses of a worm drive also suggest uneven wear. I have at least twelve of those bogie units - in various Tri-Ang locomotive model bodies. All they have needed to restore them to good condition is some TLC. The only age failures have been open circuit windings. Lacking a re-magnetiser - any weak magnets have been replaced with modern strong ones. Setting a 30 minute time limit is too arbitrary. Repairs take time and patience to diagnose and fix cleanly. Often a case or undoing a previous owner's bodge. It is most dispiriting to see potentially good models scrapped in this way.

I feel like this could actually pass as a legitimate model train repair series that you would see on TV, it’s that good!!

I love this series!

Your unboxing vids are great, but this is of a whole different level. You could easily sell this format to a tv-channel! By the way, 17 pounds for a locomotive in this bad state is rather expensive…

Yay! More Salvage or Scrap! I missed this show! :D

I think you time-O-matic machine needs to have a visit from the 'green squad.' Another 30mins and you would have sorted out the problems at the end. I a resurrection on a similar dock shunter. They need a lot of TLC and frequent lubrication on the motor bearings to stop them squealing

I have a problem with my hornby dmu 1100 model with the wheels popping out of the bogey sockets have you encountered this before.

I know this sounds weird, but what I have done before is cut the cotton swab in half then put it in a power drill for rc car parts. Not sure of it's too rough or not, but it might help.

It's nice to see this series back :)

So glad this is back!

LOVE this series

Hurray! Salvage or scrap is back. However, you scrapped a Dock Authority! You cannot do that! I bought exactly the same loco for my 10th birthday from the local toy shop back in 1972. I still have it and it goes much better after me cleaning the axles between the wheels. Anorak time! Your one dates (or should I now say dated?) from about the same time since it has (had?) the smooth wheels. The ones from the 50s and 60s had wheels with grooves across their flanges. Also, why on earth did someone charge you £17? I would have expected this to be abpout £10, since it was in such rough condition and did not go. Anyway, I am glad the series is back. I just need counselling over the apparent demise of an old favourite. I am happy to give its remains a good burial / home though.

Yeeeeeesssss!!!!!!!! Season 2!! Yeah Baby!!!

Wait, is this the same kinda diesel engine "model" they used for some old Matchbox trains back in the 70s? I own a yellow one of them and the diesel here immediately reminded me of that

DAMN, Season TWO edit: and damn, the first episode and we’ve gotten our first ever scrapped…

Sad to see the Dock Shunter go, I had one back in the mid 1970s, mine was the yellow version but always temperamental. Have you got a working one in your collection? would love to see one running in one of your reviews or live streams.

Hey Sam, Where abouts did you get your re magnitiser from? Thanks George

First time seeing the scrapman get fed woooooo!

This is one of the best model train restoration mini sieres ever, but I am curious where do you buy your locos for this. I would like to buy some and have a stab at fixing some

finally after a eternity i could see the evil scrap man feast and it was creepy yet worth it

Hooray for season 2

thats the first time we have seen scrapping verry impressive sam

Yes finally one that was scrapped!

Mother Of Charles Collett Season 2 Is Gonna Be Really Challenging! And I Love It!

"Feed Me, Feed Me" says the Scrap Monster. "Please, I'm Starving".

Very entertaining sam :)

Great Video.

Yay salvage or scrap is back here

You should get yourself some silver Sharpie pens. They are great, and dry almost immediately.

Hi Sam, interesting, My guess was that the wheel bearings were badly worn, this lets the pinion pivot around on the worm. The Achilles heal of this type of motor bogie

Sam glad you brought back salvage or scrap. I really enjoy these videos. Well I guess you are human after all. I was thinking Superman had competition. But I guess not . Ha , ha, But I still believe in you keep up the good work.

I think the "I am the Scrapman!" bit sounds like something for Scrapman merchandise.

Because you set a time limit there wasn't much checking of the gear transmission condition (missing teeth, irregular gear tooth shape, and bearing condition) which have probably caused the rough running.

Very unfortunate however I'm glad the scrapman finally gets a decent meal for once

where did you get the stl file for the couplers and buffers from?

Hi Sam great vid but alas poor shunter, Kind regards and keep up the good work.

What actually happened to the dock shunter? Did it just go for parts or into the scrapyard? Great to see season two back , cheers Sam.

Already I can tell this will be better than 1 series, not saying it’s bad tho, I like this more because of it’s better graphics and such, good job Sam!

This looks like some show you would see on A&E here in the states 🤣 And nice printer I just got my own. An Ender 3

19:35 shunter: help meeee!!!! sam: sorry i can't evil scrapman: where is some scrap sam: here ya go shunter: nooo! ahhhh!!!! evil scrapman: "munching" "buuurrp" ha ha ha

Good video, fun.

It's back ladies & gentlemen IT'S BACK!!! , season 2 Cheers Jasper & Willow

This feels like a tv show, you should put it on the tv lel
