Wow, that was quite the project. When you shelf him he’ll have a story to tell his shelf mates. “You ok Silver? You look beat up” “That kid took me apart and left bruises. At one point I saw the ‘light’ but I must say, I do feel better” “Ya, it gets worse before it gets better” (Somewhere on a different shelf) “At least he didn’t run you off the tracks on to the hard floor!!”

You might have forgotten to clean the wheels, that might help it. Enjoy your vacation SMT!

Working on one of these for a friend who just left on a vacation. He has it all apart, says the motor runs fine but when he adds in the headlight it's very slow. Turns out some of the wiring must have broken off and the previous owner soldered the bulb wiring in series with the motor. Making it all right again and he will be happy when he returns!👍😁

Great restoration always liked the beast of a soldering iron!

Hey, young fellow - I believe you would be a very good repairmen for the older Lionel, American Flyer, Ives, Marx, Hafner, and other vintage trains. With the passing of the generation that grew up with these trains, we need the younger generation to pick up the care and maintenance of these old trains. If you go to college, keep up your interest in the hobby, and carry on after graduation. If you are blessed with a family, remember it is a great family hobby. May God bless you.

Great video quality and great repair. Those Tyco power torque motors are still my favorite.....Harrison's mother: "HARRISON... Why are there train parts in the sink!"

I HAVE A SILVER STREAK THAT NEEDS WORKED ON , SO HOPEFULLY I CAN REPAIR IT LIKE YOU DID. I HAVE SEVERAL ENGINES NEEDING SOME REPAIR ,BEEN WATCHING YOU REPAIRING YOUR ENGINES HOPE I CAN !!!

Nice quality, I can see you are wearing the shirts David Z to G scale sent you!!!!

I got this set for Christmas age 10. Still have it. I had mine apart but not as much as this- thanks for posting!

Cool engine

Probably my favorite Tyco engine

Bachmann makes roller bearings you could use for a test track strip. That way you could test a rebuilt locomotive in place and work out the bugs before you turn it loose on the layout.

That was fun to watch. Giving new life to this loco. Great work.

Nice one

Great video liked 👍🚄

Watched this while fixing an AHM GP5 with a stuck plastic bearing and doing my first can motor disassembly. That motor was in such poor condition, that loco must have had so much use. Also, T H I C C soldering iron

This was a exiting video for me

That is the mother of all soldering irons haha

Cool video.

Old Tycos are cool

Please ask Santa for a foam cradle this year😁

Love the restore videos!!!!

The Silver Streak surely does have an odd shake about it, Harrison. You'll have to look into that at a later date. It's typical for the chrome finish to tarnish and flake on those old Tycos. Maybe you could have combined the two into one good Loco. You may need to replace the commutator which was your first thought after seeing the fouled condition. I don't know which one is rarer, the full red top or the one with just the red roof on the cab? Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

I remember having one of these locomotives, but I think I "inherited" it from my brother when he moved out.

SMT the lub container looks like what we use for our instruments in band when our valves get “sticky”. Btw I play the trumpet. I say like cause the stuff we use doesn’t have that needle on the end.

Glad you got it working , it’s s cool livery which I could get that livery in N scale

I feel like every time smt says "well folks in today's video were going to be...." it gets slower and slower each video😂😂

I got this when I was 5 or 6 back in the 70’s

Next time when your sister is not looking ,borrow her toothbrush and use it to scrub the loco body,works very well indeed (make sure to rinse it and put it back before she gets wise to you) Nice project,looks good !! PT

Serenity now

awesome

I’m 10th keep up the great work on the videos I really enjoy watching them

I hope they sell those polls for the motor I know you said it’s not worth it for tyco engines but maybe make an exception

My dad used to have a Silver Streak and a Golden Eagle, He wishes he still had them but my grandpa sold them at a yard sale years ago

Ooooo!! It’s so shiny!!

You need a molotow liquid chrome marker

I have the Same locomotive! My grandma got it as my first ever HO Loco Altho it's Seen better days All the wheel's moter is gone and it has various broken parts!

Yesterday i fixed an old AHM switcher

It’s going on a streak uh. I see what you did there

I picked up one of these at a flea market/bazaar last year..think I paid like $7.00 for it or something. My example looks like brand new unfortunately it proved to be a non-runner (as in completely dead). I don' know much about repairing model locomotives nor did I think it was worth having it repaired at a shop; so I converted it to a non-powered dummy locomotive. It looks neat in my setup.

You can buy that chrome paint in a spray can from Lowes

It's easy but you doin fine.

Just use a silver sharpe

I got a silver streak and it works well

For chrome check your craft stores for chrome pens ,they work really well. Also is there a place which sells guard rails I notice that slot of your diesels don't have railings?

What you doing with that old soldering iron lol

I recommend using a rerailer

Use the parts from the other loco because you said the other one would be a dummy and the coils and commutator could be in better condition

Today right when I put this comment my mom got a vintage train set that came with a really old railroad crossing some tracks two switch tracks one building and a old power controller some rocks and telephone poles and more crossing signs and this loco two flat cars with union truck cars one box car and the loco caboose.

Hey smt can you do a compilation of all of the derailments and accidents you caught on camera?

I had the whole set as a kid

Hello. Why don't you build a Tyco locomotive with two motors? I did it with a Fleischmann and it got very good traction and a very smooth wheel.

Hi SMT! I have an old athearn Milwaukee road 30c-rs6 blue box loco in ok condition. Its missing the motor and cab but everything else is there. Do you have any tips on restoring it? This is going to be my first project✌

And THIS is why you don't let cats on the layout!!!

Next time use dawn apple dish soap it will clean better.

Imagine when the silver streak meets the golden eagles: Eagle 1 welcome to the shelf! Eagle 2 whoa what’s up with your paint Streak I had dirt on my paint and that kid used a silver paint not Crome Eagle 1 you feel better tho right? Streak yes

I have the same locomotive

What up

The silver on the silver streak and sum Santa Fe locomotive and caboose is not silver paint it is nickel plating and it does tarnish takes fingerprints easily and rubs off explaining the blackness....... They also nickel plated certain tank cars like Sunoco shell and STP and a couple others..... Nickel painting was also expensive making cars and locomotives like these a little bit rare but I'm not saying totally rare there are some still out there.......

I never could understand why Tyco and Bachmann used those AWFUL pancake motors.

invest in an ultaronic cleaner?

How much did it it cost

Hi

What's a good price for a proto 2000 gp7

I am getting 1

Paula much

Ho guardato i tuoi video, non lavori bene, mi spiace migliorati...
