Impressive what you are doing in such a tight schedule. Still one of your best ideas this series !

The last loco I rebuilt was an LGB RhB Ge 4/4 III with electric up/down pantographs and full DCC style sounds etc. It took the best part of 10 hours to get the thing dismantled and then 3 weeks of on and off work (much was postal time) to get it rebuilt. It's still not perfect, but getting there :)

Hi. I’d recommend that - for non-critical parts (like the smoke box door) - you make a slight change in the rules; you still can’t buy them, but the time limit for 3D printing them doesn’t apply. The regular rules (and time limit) will still apply to critical parts (driveline, wiper pickups, the motor, frame, couplings, and wheels/valve-gear.) 😊 This just makes sense in terms of prioritizing the repairs; why 3D print a smoke box door, when you might need the 3D printer for something critical later? You can always 3D print the extra detail parts once the loco can haul a rake of wagons or coaches around the layout without stalling, derailing, or bursting into flame (well, I HOPE it doesn’t catch fire - that would be bad!)

An overall good restoration here Sam, I have 2 of these tender drive A1s from hornby one of them being 4476 Royal Lancer.

I love this series so much, literally everytime I see a new vid of Salvage or Scrap I get ultra excited and no matter what I wanna watch it :D It's amazing, and quite educative actually

Another exciting salvage or scrap episode, I think any episode where the engine does run at the initial testing is a good sign for it to win

You always amaze me with salvage or scrap sam!!! Great video!

THE SCRAP MAN

If u use regular paper for plates, signs, (...etcetera), just put a pice of transparent adhesive tape over them before u cut it out. Its going to be a lot stiffer and easier to work with it. That's how we made all our road signs on or "city layout".

The Scrapman has had only one helping the two years this series has been going, you clearly have the knack of salvaging these locos... although you may have to set some tough challenges for 2024.

Only 2 more locos left Sam, I wonder how they are going to turn out. We'll just have to wait and see :) Cheers Jasper & Willow

I have a 4472 from 1972. I'd repair that at pretty much any cost. It's a very good runner as it is now, but the tender is basically just a coach, no pickups. the engine itself has 6 driving wheels (like the real thing would have) but only the driving wheels have pickups. Regardless, my first Flying Scotsman, it has some sentimental value.

You are fortunate to have the knowledge and tools to make such repairs. I like to watch you work and I don’t agree with the time limit.

Pfew, close call. We thought you would have plenty of time, but really not so it seems. Such a pity that the rush was needed. Great cracking fun to watch but this one just deserved so much better. Oh well, that's for the next owner.

Hi Sam , yes I have one in the same state that needs looking at, I think I need to get it back up and running again . All the best Brian 😃

Awesome video today Sam thank goodness you got it working

I've been watching you for a while, but this was my first taste of Salvage or Scrap. This is awesome. It adds suspense to a routine repair job. 👍👍👍👍👍

This series is sooo good! Please make another season!!!

I have had a few wheel tyres come loose - where the wheel centres are metal I used 3 small dots of Loctite green retaining compound to fix the tyre in place. This leaves the rest of the tyre\centre interface to pass current if necessary. I am trialing loctite green on some plastic wheel centres .. 6 months down the track they still seem OK and no damage to the plastic so far.

Dear me Sam; you cut that a bit fine. Great work, well done. Cheers Neil

A long time ago I had a rather weird railway dream. It began with me visiting a railway scrapyard. There was no-one about, no sound was to be heard anywhere. I walked along between two standard gauge track sidings, half expecting to get caught. No-one stopped me doing something so potentially dangerous. A black shape in the distance caught my eye, and I ventured forwards. The black shape, upon closer inspection, was a 57xx Pannier Tank Engine so small, I wondered how on earth the chassis would be wide enough to fit on to the 4ft 8 & a half inch sized track. As it was, the little steamy begged me silently to save her from the evil scrapman. So I somehow managed to make up her fire and top up her tanks with water. I sat on a tiny chair in her cab, put her in reverse and drove her along the track. I had no idea where the rusty rails would lead to, yet my steed and I kept going. We flew past main line stations, and found our way on to the Severn Valley Railway. At Kidderminster Town Station, opposite side of the island platform, Raveningham Hall was willing to give us a lump or two of coal from her tender. Another Driver took over from me. The 57xx Pannier Tank Engine was safe. This is where the dream ended. I was wondering who I ought to share the story with, and so I hope you enjoyed it. I know how much you love reading my stories.

This is some tv show quality material this just perfect to make a tv show or a break show

Great work!🎉

Loved the video👍👍

Awesome work

Well I haven't watched the video yet, but there is a bid listing for this engine so I guess it was salvaged.😂

Very good & well done Sam 🙂🚂🚂🚂

Would like to see all the locos repaired without any drama. I can't stand the stress 😂

Awesome video Sam's trains

nice as usual!

Gordon The Express Engine is proud of you saving his sibling

Another great episode of salvage or scrap!

Very soft spot for those grand old tender drive LNER pacifics. Looking at them with a modern eye so much looks absurd- above all, that one side of the pickups, on a locomotive with a total of eight wheels on each side, depends entirely on two small tender wheels and nothing else- would it really have been so prohibitively complicated and expensive for 1980s Hornby to make a drawbar connection with two wires, and pickup from the large loco driving wheels on *both* sides, I wonder? That said though, there's still something magnificent about watching them sail along the line, rake of teak coaches in tow, the old sensible design rear pony truck whose wheels actually stay on the track, watching the coupling rods spin as those driving wheels whirl round.

Ahh my favourite series 😊

Hi Sam. Always great to see you fix ANY loco, but it being a Gresley A1 was an added bonus. Please could you provide some greater detail on your hard-wired electrical power fix? Where exactly did you attach each end of the wire? Thanks

YO Sam nice vid you made me start my own channel on my many model trains sadly I have no layout yet

Love your 3d printed locomotives

Well done Sam

it was hard but final resul is excellent,congratulations.....big like alberto 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊

This man needs a Netflix show lol

Hi Sam love your videos

Nice video Sam very good camera work as usual as always I am really enjoying your lovely videos and camera work keep your lovely camera work up I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on KZfaq bye for now Philip

9:02 oh so that's how to take it apart, I was always wondering how do you remoive the motor from the temder chassis. Cheers Jasper & Willow

I really need to get a soldering iron. Had to fix a broken wire on Flying Scotsman today and it’s getting tedious having to heat my favourite pair of needle nose pliers to yellow just to fix that. I hope your doing well Sam!

That's so cool

I’d say put it in a scrapyard on your layout if you have one. I think that would be quite cool

Finally another salvage or scrap video I love these so much great video Sam enjoy the rest of your day as well

18:35 Not today Scrapman......Not today. Cheers Jasper & Willow

Maybe someday we should get you to clean up some of my models.

Nice job

Any links for the 3 d printer

Happy to see this series back

If one gets scrapped does the scrap man actually destroy it or is it just a container and you collect it afterwards

Nice!

It's out Lady's and Gentlemen, IT'S FINALLY OUT!!! Cheers Jasper & Willow

Yay new episode salvage or scrap👍😊🤩😎😁

You could super glue those wheels back on

How does scrapman work? Does it actually scrap the locos? Or is it just illustrative of actual scraping?

Great salvage !! I wonder why there are tender-driven locomotives being manufactured ? There is enough space inside the loc, so it seems unnecessarily complicated. Also it just doesn't feel right. A locomotive should pull, not being pushed. And it makes a loc easier to derail in corners, it seems to me, I wonder if anyone knows the reason.

Close one Sam.

Hey samstrains! Can you make a model of this canceled thomas and friends character called barry the rescue engine?

Yeah more salvage and scrap transformation for trains. Yeah I'm excited. Ur the best and talented friend . I still wish I had ur skill. Looks amazing my friend. I do like it. Keep being awesome. But yeah tender driving trains are annoying to as well. So can't wait to see the end result

That poor Scrapman is going to starve

I wish it was that easy to restore real locomotives.

Just asking two questions: 1. Why is there a private video in the SOS playlist? 2. When is the next episode coming out?

I have a few old and broken locomotives, HO of course. Would you be interested if I were to give them to you. I would only ask that you cover the cost of shipping to the UK

love salvage or scrap :D

Are you still working on Oo scale Edward and Emily?

Metal tyres + superglue?

The coupling rods are on upside down, the previous owner (or one of them) must have had thes off at some stage! A close call time wise .

We need Albert halls video Sam!!!! She’s my favourite engine!

Job's a good'un..... Poor ol Scrappy, he's gone hungry for quite some time now,...

"All my Doncaster brothers and sisters..."

Has there ever been any engines that have been scrapped

Fantastic Sam, these Scotsmans are very reliable. Have you seen James May's toy stories episodes on Hornby btw?

47 minutes this time!

another saved from scrap!

The hornby class A1 looks like gordon for thomas and friends

why don't you count the time left for your rankings?

I wonder if this will go for over £200

First, and also I love your videos, keep up the good work!

Another classic was restored. I like learning the insides of these models by watching these repair videos.

18:41 Sam the timer was 28 not minutes 27 and 19 seconds

Not gonna lie I actually was fixing my A1 about 10 mins before watching this video. (Broken gears btw)

I hope the scrap man won’t eat the working ho/oo locos or rolling stock

Henry Mark I

As it's a Gresley it's worth it but in my view,dont crucify me, if it was GWR or Southern. I'd just scrap them .

I am guessing no Christmas story again? Those were the highlight of the year, at least for me. 😭

I love this program because I learn how to get into the models, my only question would be if it’s possible to run these on a DCC system, or are they upgradable? ross

A novel way to sell , WHY did you let them deteriorate so much?

Sam what do you have cooked up for Halloween?

I hope I don’t get scraped…

Salvage

I was rooting for the Scrapman this time because tender pushed engines are so awful.

We are less than half a year away from April the first, got anything planned? 🤣

4th

This week, on SALVAGE OR SCRAP, Sam has to fix a broken Hornby Gresley A1! Will it survive, or will the loco be fed to the SCRAP MAN? Let's find out!

Second

yeeeees new video😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
