Everyone must not have watched the full video when it was uploaded 9 minutes ago... Nice restoration! Take care!

Awesome job on getting the locomotive running again !!

Found your channel trying to fix one of my old Bachman trains and I keep coming back for more videos lol. Keep up the good work dude 👍🏼

Nice video gotta love every restoration video

Good job at getting the loco running again.

What a cute little engine. So fast.

Excellent restoration and repair, well done to get it running again!

That was great im a hugh marx fan. I started in 1968 with a big marx set. I still have that set it cost my parents 40 dollars back then. That was two weeks worth of groceries. I loved them for that and i still run it at christmas time. I have a ho and 027 layouts. I will love my trains till the day i die. Thanks for bringing back great memories. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great little loco. Nice video SMT! Glad you could get it running.

It always seems like you can make any engine work again

great video 🚄👍

Seller: "Will it ever run again? SMT: "Am I a joke to you"?

Glad you didn't quit, just for the sake of the conquest. The motor sounds like a Marx tank switcher I grew up with. I just checked & found some guy trying to sell one on eBay for $25 for "parts only." Your $5 was well spent.

I love your videos! You made me want to start model railroading again! Just gotta get the stuff first😅

A little styrene patch and body filler to repair the cab, touch up paint with acrylic paint. Neat little switch engine.

Excellent fabrication work.

I’ve got one of those, it works ok

Never noticed how difficult HO was to work on, hence why I don't collect it. I just find O is easier to manage, but looks like you did a pretty good job getting it to run.

Good fabrication skills an lucky the new brush works well too

I personally didn't know Marx made HO

Great job on restoration. I like how you made a part for it very crafty and way to MacGyver it very awesome I dont think I could do it. I think the originals are like shellac type material. Another locomotive saved Serienity!

Not prettiest thing but it lives on. Cool video, Chris

A little trick with the soldering meat plastic. A wet bit of cloth ( not dripping) or paper towel will act as a heat sink to draw away heat before it reaches the plastic

One of your best!👍

"SMT Shops-you break it, we can fix it!"

great job harrison,you did a good job on the brush holder,ever thought of rebuilding the broken cab pillar with plasticard and filler,that would turn this ancient loco into a little gem,best wishes.jpj

Nice!

I'm Happy for you!

I love those riverossi 0-4-0. I get those off ebay and fix them up all the time.

You should try to get a Walthers Trainline ALCO FA. They run like a champ

Great video!

One those was the locomotive in the first train set my father bought after he got back into model railroading after WWII. I still have it although it doesn't run. I recently bought an identical set to give my grandchildren. when they're old enough.

I noticed on one of your videos that you mentioned you were looking up a small N scale locomotives made by Aurora. I have one. It was marketed as an 0-6-0 called the Li'l Donkey. First made in 1968, it was the smallest model locomotive mass produced at the time. It was eventually offered by MRC or Model Power. It is all metal, fast and sounds like an angry wasp. Wish I could post a picture for you.

Athearn had a unit similar to this with a rubber band drive. I recall reading in MR that it had a scale speed of somewhere around 400+ mph. We went full Addams Family with it..lol

Serenity!!!!!!

Good Work!

Great job kid! The last thing I spent 5 bucks on worked just fine. A hamburger and fries!

I have one of those, and to my horror one coupler expoded. I had to take one from a parts donor. Nice job.

I probably said before, but the tooling for these went to Model Power, and when they folded, Lionel bought it. But before they quit you could buy a version of this same switcher with DCC and crude sound in it. What I always wondered is where the tooling sat from like the mid-60s to around the mid-90s. A lot of HO stuff moves from company to company (or importer) but this stuff sat somewhere not used and yet not scrapped either.

The Robert Grossman Company has parts for Marx trains, including some HO parts.

Don't you love how Marx just made the body clip on the F-unit truck? This is a trick from the Lionel/Marx toy train age, maximizing a power chassis for use on as many products as possible. The truck probably was Varney, or a copy. I know that Lionel used Athearn to produce their initial HO line in the late Fifties. Not the smoothest drivetrain. Many years ago I had a collection of industrial switchers from as many HO manufacturers from the 50s, 60s, and 70s I could acquire. I had limited room, so my dream was running the longest train practical for the layout with up to six mu'ed switchers

Great video.. Always Succes from indonesia

Nice to see you improvise, Harrison, when a piece is missing. MacGyver it with some chewing gum next time. 🤣 But seriously, great job getting that Marx moving. I believe I sent you a black Marx 0-4-0, and I think you already had one at that point. So, is this number three of the Marx switcher/shifter/shunter fleet? Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

You’ve done it again 😊 😕now if only you can fix those pulverized GG1s

do i have school in the morning? yes. do i care? no.

YO YO YO, SMT time

I'm here.

Nice man! btw Is this marxs ho drive system same as the very early generation life like? Just curious!

Good show sir! Nerf Cat wizzed in 2 peoples cereal I see, come on people, noone thumbs down SMT

Very nice 👌 👍 👏 😀

A competitor to Athearn's Hustler riding on an EMD Blomberg truck from a F unit painted in a C&O inspired paint job And it's not an 0-4-0, using the AAR standard naming conventions it is a 0-B-0

Okay like if you enjoy his streams and when he get me models up and running

SMT, what scrubbing tool are you using to clean the motor brushes and wheels?

Another pocket rocket for the armada

I recently just started doing ho layouts! Can anybody give any tips? Also, Great video and I’m glad to see the loco running!

Hello again, I deleted my account because of password reasons, but anyways I'm back up an running like a gp38

the brushes or connections on my o scale mta train are oxodising would the brush you used to clean the wheels work to clean the copper connections?

I spent 4 minutes watching a dr squatch ad.... *im not a dish*

Add a Keep Alive.

I have a Marx hudson, and unfortunately when I did this a few months back before seeing this video, the windings either shorted or over heated as soon as I put power to the loco. Do you know what I can use as a replacement motor or a way I can refurbish it?

Hello Smt

The question isn’t will it run is when will it run

Are 0-4-0s a thing you see anymore in real life?

it very smol

I was about to get one of those I still kinda want one what does anyone recommend??

SMT how did you make the mangled metal on the runaway train?

I have almost the same engine and the hole top plate broke into a million pieces

Smt mainline can you fix my Burlington route steam loco for me plz It will never run plz reply

SMT: *restores loco* Also SMT: *likely never runs it again*

To me this id one of your best repairs if only because you actually fabricated a part! Excellent!😀 Did you measure that brush holder out when you made it or did you do it by eye? Its a little thing but it shows how talented you are.😊 Here are three non train related links that I think you will enjoy since some of the running gags during the live streams are good natured jokes comparing the USA and Canada. This first link is to Mr. Breat and compares the two nations directly, a head to head comparison between the US and Canada in a very entertaining way: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLuqkpN1sp2qZGw.html The second video is by JJ McCollough. He is a young guy who does political commentary in an entertaining manner; don't worry he is not some guy in a suit droning on. 😊 What's more he is not only your fellow countryman but also a Quebecqois (but like you he is of English and not French decent). The second video by JJ is about Canadian Propoganda on how the Government wants the rest of the world to percieve her: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9xdoM9hzruyZqs.html Both are done with plenty of humor and no rancor and snideness. Here is another vid by JJ saying there are six types of Canadians. Which one is you?😉: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hq13n5CgqdewnHk.html If you saw any these already then once again sorry.😅 Now go make a few plastic drawbars!😊

Why don't you get an actual micro soldering pen? That soldering gun is a little bit for things like this.

Hello Harrison, if you don't know what to do in your Future, you should become a Doctor. Because everything what is Dead you bring it back to Life. Greetings from Germany Bruno

Another 25 ton switcher

You would like to use a tools and other things.

turn it into a dummy unit then it will be a runner! (joke)

What is the name of the tool you are using at 8:29?

Hey smt I have a ho scale western and alanaic steam loco can you help me out in restoreingv it?

Hi smt

Hi

Hey smt I have a life like Santa Fe diesel motor and I pooped the shell off and put my dads life like shell on it Union Pacific) and it has. A ton off wheel slip and I found out only the front axle drives and I think that’s why it’s having wheel slip and way me and my dad can make it four wheel drive reply for your answer

Can You review a life Like Train Set?

Funny, how you Americans pronounce “solder”, like there’s no L in the word. Makes me laugh every time!

Smt you might aswell work on real life locomotives.
