Cracking episode again Sam. Mission impossible here perhaps. Some time could have been saved by having some soapy water in a lunchbox on the loft and forgo putting the motors back into the box, but still an unfeasible job possibly. Oh well, you could always restore it properly in your own time. A 1966 loco just is too precious to be left as scrap, we thought. Those are so simply brought back to life justly 🙂

We have 1 more episode left to go Sam, I can't wait to see how that one comes out. Cheers Jasper & Willow

Awesome video Sam! Love your layout ❤️🙌

Hi Sam. I noticed at the beginning when you tried to test-run the loco, that the two metal rods (rusty, of course) on the Fireman’s side that come out of the cylinder casting were not parallel; this would cause the sliding piece to which the connecting rods were attached, to bind up on the end farthest from the cylinder. Even a good, brand new motor wouldn’t be able to overcome that sort of binding! Also, save that worm gear before scrapping the loco, and put it on one of the good motors you have (or a nice coreless motor with a matching shaft diameter) so you’ll have one ready to go next time! 😅 The binding is probably what killed the motor the first time; that’s why the commutator was all gunked up with carbon and oxidation - it got too hot. The weak magnets didn’t help the cause, either. 😢 I’d feed the motor, rusty side rods, rusty couplings, and the engine body shell to the evil scrap man, and keep the frame, wheels, pickups, and all of the tender. You can clean up the wheels later and use them in another 3D-printed (Hall class) loco project! 😀💙

love watching these salvage videos thanks Sam

Great video as always Sam! These locos may be old, but they were well made for the price and can be bought for cheap!

This series is incredible!

Nice episode as always

I’ve been waiting for so long to see this happen!!!

Great video Sam I love this series the hall class is a lovely loco and I’m glad you could save it 😀

I'm not great at recognising model locomotive designs or names, but I'm pretty sure I had one of these Hall locos when I was a kid. The tenders look identical and was what gave it away. It belonged to my grandfather, I think the motor died around 1999, and since my dad didn't know much about servicing engines, we sorta just left it to gather dust. I do remember he removed the bogey wheels for some reason, but I'm pretty sure it had a dead motor...

Hi Sam. Have you thought of using one of those glass Gü pudding pots to stop small parts going missing? Very handy indeed (and tasty too - try the Lemon cheesecake one) I've just resurrected a Lima Western that had a chassis in 3 parts. That was pretty infuriating at times hehe

Scrap man is looking hungry today.

Hey Sam I just want to say that I am really enjoying the series of Salvage or Scrap. Keep it up!

Wow Sam, than you so much! Your channel is so good and you inspired me to make my own channel, keep up the good work!

To me having a failure makes it more real. Good for you being so honest

Awesome video today Sam such a shame you couldn’t fix it in time but like you said can’t win them all i love these series

Sam your videos make my day

Fantastic sam- albert hall is my no 1 loco!

I love this series😁

Awesome video Sam's trains

Such a shame it didn't make it. I recently got my hands on a Lord Westwood Hall and I restored it to working condition. She's as lively as ever. From my memory I never had a Tri-ang loco go out as you said, they were built to last. I do have a hint though. Recently I saw an American youtuber restore HO trains from being dead to working again. He used a fibreglass pencil to clean the commutator. I wondered if it works and bought one. I tried it on the Hall and it cleaned a very dirty commutator within 30 seconds. Prior to that I used cotton buds which worked well, but took a lot longer. Maybe if you consider doing another season of salvage and scrap you could get one to save a lot of time cleaning the commutator? It worked wonders for me and all my locos I cleaned with it run a lot better than those I used the cotton buds. Also, that last locomotive is gonna get interesting. It's a Lifelike Tea Kettle and it's an absolute dog most of the times. I was very lucky to buy one for 25£ in mint condition. Hopefully the last member of the season makes it out alive. Great video, eventhough we had one casualty.

Oh well, this one wasn't to be. Hoping for future salvage or scrap engines to have a better future! Great vid Sam.

I see what appears to be Athearn Vista Dome coaches at 5:50. Couple this with what looked like an MTH loco box in the background of the turbo train video. Sam, is there something you're hiding that you'd like to share with the class?

1:54 0-4-0T? are you sure about that, Sam?

It was fun to watch regardless of the outcome. Thanks

Would the motor re-magnetisation be able to cause this or is that something to do with the other motor related fault? For once the challenge was greater, establishing proper risk now, good. Sad that the specific model died but at least now i feel more tension when time happens to run close.

i love how i have a hall class the exact same one

Just curious. What tool do u use to get the coupling rods off?

What are the blocks that you are sitting the engine on?

I think you may of put yourself under too much pressure. I really enjoy your videos I am not into the hobby myself but watching your videos resurrects childhood memories

Looks like a "Hall" in one for Scrap Man.

I like the story about the scrap man that you told us and you can mix water and barking soda together and it will remove rust

Awesome vid Sam, love these. The Triang hall was interesting, if carrying the GWR livery, they carry a BR era smokebox number which GWR never carried! My Revolution FNAD just arrived and it's fantastic!

The reiable X04 motors that I used in my scratch-built locos from 1966 onwards have all had to go in favour of modern can motors. On a modern controller the motors cut out every 30 seconds. Only an old analog controller.would work.

I'm surprised you didn't submerge the connecting rods and valve gear into vinegar solution and use a positive and negative charge along with an anode rod overnight to loosen that rust it would have wiped right off. I couldn't tell the condition of the motor if it had rust or not but if it did, you could have soaked in the same vinegar solution as well overnight then magnetized the magnet and reassembled it the following day. Oh well you can't win them all in 20 minutes. 😉

I find it amusing each time I here the "I am the scrap man" with the voice inflection sounding like he is questioning his own title :) As long as the worm has the same gear pattern, the brass ones will work in place of a nylon one. I have a feeling they were the same gearing. It's a shame you didn't get this going. I think if you'd had time to remagnetise it, the motor would have come back to life properly.

Very nice. But I guess not all train fixes go right. I think they could be different and easy to fix. Well I guess u did ur best. Keep being awesome my friend. Love it. Ur the best my friend. Keep up the good work

While the Tri-ang Hornby Hall is indeed a 1960s design, your particular model is rather later. The Great Western livery version (they were previously BR), with chromed wheel tyres were introduced in the early 1970s by Hornby Railways (post Tri-ang Hornby), and these had a very glossy finish. The 'satin' finish, and plastic worm wheels as on your model was introduced in the late 1970s and continued as such into the 1980s.

It’s been a while since most engines have been salvaged while only 2 engines were scrapped.

I feel bad for the so called "scrap man" everybody thinks he's evil but I think he's really just misunderstood. First of all that nickname is imposing, like his name is Jerry, c'mon you can at least let him have his dignity while he's being held against his will forever confined to a cabinet in your basement, made to be a puppet in your sick games for your amusement, profiting off his suffering. Sustained on nothing but the occasional broken model train, look at the guy he's clearly malnourished, he's barely able to utter out a few words before the door slams in his face, and those are the worst bloodshot eyes I've ever seen they're practically glowing might wanna get that checked out my G. I am utterly uphauled at the behavior displayed in this show, a perfect example of a cruel narcissist taking advantage and profiting off of the lesser man, whilst mascaraing as but an innocent model train restorationist. This behavior is downright unacceptable and I will be starting a campaign to free the scrapman from your captivity and thus the deplorable conditions he is being held in. I will see you my friend, in court! (THIS IS A JOKE) Please no hard feelings, I didn’t mean anything I said. I really like your videos.

That last loco you have left is notorious for having its gears stripped out - might be a hard fix that one

everyone should fear the scrapman at this point

Bought one of these a month ago. Great Little runners but my one used 2 AMPS!!! Anyways, this is a Great Video!

Hello Sam U have 2 similar Locos - A GW No. 5934 Kneller Hall & a GWR No. 4003 Lode Star but neither of them are not going to be scrapped!!! 🙂🚂🚂🚂

At 1:54, it looks like there was a goof with the loco class. Says 0-4-0T, might have gotten mixed up with the other remaining model. Incidentally, I have one of those horrible Life Like 0-4-0T models. Ran poorly even when new and the gears in pretty much every single one I've seen are cracked.

I'm hoping Mr. E. Scrapman's err, "waste product" is spare parts for other locos in the future?

I would have loved to see how you would have fixed the cab roof.

I always thought the chair was the heater it self😅

Can you do a review on the Heljan Class 86?

Yahoooooooooo a new episode of Salvage or Scrap 👍😊🤩😎😃👌

Not bad video sam

Looks like the Scrapman gets another locomotive, right alongside the dock shunter and 2MT. Bit of a shame but the clock just wasn't on your side, hopefully the person who gets the remains of the locomotive can find a way to bring it back to life without being on the clock.

Imagine that the KZfaqr ScrapMan sees one of these video's and finds out he has an evil version

Sorry Sam though I am happy the poor Scrapman finally got a meal.

I can hardly see the loco getting scrapped with all that smoke

Sam, send it over for a collaboration, and i could feature it on Trash to Track.

hi sam. i do believe this is the first time the scrapman got something to eat since you started this mini series. would the albert hall make another appearance before xmas for a 2nd attempt? it would be a shame to discard a triang model.

Can I give it a try I fixed a rusted loco before

1:55 Wrong class mate

17:49 The Scrapman may have won for the second time Sam, but hopefully this will be his last one for a very long time. Cheers Jasper & Willow

The chunk in the roof missing is a common problem my castle class got that then the whole cab went

R.I.P

may rest in peace 😕😟😰😥😢😭😞😓💔

pretty funny lookin 0-4-0T

Victor Schlomberg, he didn’t deserve to become the Scrap Man. He was just an ordinary person like You or I. Also, Sam’s Trains, when will you finally do a Review on the Heljan BR class 28, and when will you go into OO9 scale, I have been waiting for Far too Long.

after all he needs a home

You should sue the Time-O-Matic

Once again Sam you impress me with your model fixing skills well done

A shame it couldn't be brought back to working order. A very enjoyable episode though.

i do not know if i am imagining it but i do think i just heard all of this poor model trains saing help help help me please😭😢😥😰☹🙁😟😔

has there ever been a loco sent to the scrapman?

Whers the remains of this locomotive

Well, sam, you tried! Unlicky that you couldnt ressurect her, but your video was entertaining as always - we finally get to see the scrapman eat! Greta video sam

Second lost in Salvage or Scrapped episode ?

Great video although the stats when you cover the loco were wrong, it's not a 0-4-0T 😂

Hi sam how has your day been

Cool

Why can’t you have metal worm gears on regular plastic gears.

Ill have it, if its available.

Rude guy that was the real hogwarts express it’s real the train in a hall class engine too ya know

Darn, another loss... What happens to locos the Scrapman destroys? Are there even any parts left?

Btw nice vid

maybe this will chear you up again

you may want to update the photo on the listing so it can't later be done as not described.

Still the best tv show not on tv.

The number plate is Albert Hall, but the name plate says Bugger Hall 😊

Shame - given 30 mins you may well have fixed it. I had a Hall from the early 70s. It had that mechanical chuff-chuff sound box in the tender and and a heated oil reservoir mounted in front of the motor with a piston that sent puffs of smoke out the funnel as it moved - it was primitive but fun!

Hi Sam, I just love your videos BUT as a 79 year old can I just say that I think you are going about things the wrong way with your salvage and scrap. Firstly get the chassis working properly first, then spend time on the body and tender afterwards, anything else is just a waste of time as proven by your results on this model. Eg cleaning the Body, Tender and Name plates. As for a time limit on a repair perhaps you can inform me as to the reason why? My view is it takes as long as necessary if you really want to repair the Locomotive. I have been into model railways since I was a kid. Regards from Ron 🚂👍🚂

RIP Albert hall locomotive you will be missed

I think more time should have been spent getting the motor magnetised and ran in without any load rather than messing with cosmetics, but never mind a good effort was done!

No big loss, have a nice die-cast loco and toss all plastic steam locos in the bin.

(but) You havn't really scrapped her have you? Go on you can tell me, I won't tell the scrap man you've hoodwinked him 😉

not to menchen all the bad things they have done in the past😮

SAM's Trains FAILS !

Sam failed! Poor Hall Class!

Sad you could not make it work again maybe someone else can fix it with its remains, I have fixed some very poor condition locos

I guess Albert Hall is the first steam engine to be scrapped by the evil scrap man.

Poor king class
