Here is a new video !!
This is a RS900 model train produced by Märklin between 1931 and 1941.
O gauge.
I bought it online.
Each part was pretty much seized.
The engine was totally blocked and I thought I couldn't bring it back to life...
I spent a few days trying to fix it.
I found some pictures of old labels on the internet.
Please watch till the end to see this Pre-war rusty locomotive in action !
By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.
Thanks a lot for watching !

These videos contain some elusive magic that makes you drop everything and stare at the screen, forgetting about everything and opening your mouth)) This is a process of creation combined with the process of rebirth of a thing that, it would seem, is already suitable only for scrap or just for the trash. This is a combination of excellent professional skills of the master with technology. I am fascinated and bewitched by these videos! If only people could be repaired in the same way and made even more beautiful and newer than they were originally! I'm giving you a standing ovation!

There is something incredibly nostalgic about these old toys. A time when the world had not heard of plastics and toys like this were very very special. Can you imagine getting something like this as a kid in those days? To think of all the tooling and planning that went into building a toy like this back then. This was a beautiful restore and your editing was very good (loved the intro). My only teensie weensie critique would have been the two top screws being lined up with the others ; ) Love watching your restores, keep up the great work.

Getting something like this as a kid nowadays would be just as amazing I'd think, perhaps more, because it isn't plastic and looks more like a realistic train! When I was little my father put together his old train set for us kids every year as a tradition, during our Winter Holiday break, and they were EXTREMELY heavyweight train cars I remember, like solid heavyweight metal that would've definitely hurt you if anyone would've accidentally dropped one on your foot or wasn't handling them carefully. It was in the steam train style and had metal tracks and even these little tablets to put into the steamstacks of the engines that made 'steam'. I believe it was electric run, but not too sure, it was a family heirloom handed down. It was huge and complex and quite a sight when all the tracks were laid out and the whole train and cars were chugging along, and I adored the caboose! What happy holiday memories with extended family this brought back!❤

Es ist immer ein Wagnis, solch ein Uhrwerk auseinander zu nehmen. Man darf die Spannung der Feder nicht unterschätzen!

@claudianagel7402 3 ай бұрын

@@TheFabrik Yes, I can imagine it took you quite a while to re-assemble the clockwork. Was it the first time you did so? It's best to soak such a clockwork in brake cleanser fluid and after 24 hours put it in the ultra sonic bath instead of taking it apart.There is a good chance it comes to life again! Kind regards from Claudia the German antique train collector.
