"Why is daddy gear black" spit my drink out there 🤣

I love how regular Sam's Trains Sam looks at the instructions carefully. While salvage or scrap Sam doesn't do instructions! XD

An excellent tutorial on engine repair, complete with suspense and drama! Bravo on your editing skills. This very much reminds me of TV shows here in the US that take an engineering project (ship building, bridge maintenance, etc.) and make it dramatic, with a mini-crisis just before each commercial break, yet with a successful conclusion. Very enjoyable, Sam. Cheers!

Man what a great series every loco has me hoping they can be frankensteined back to life and shows the level of competency and passion this guy has for the hobby. On a side note Samtrain's Engineering Works must be good because the scrapman is probably the most evil contraption I've ever seen you create and you have to so a 'Salvage or Scrap' Halloween special with a loco that would be a mission impossible that only igor frankenstein himself could pull off saving

Duck after a one night stand, Great Western style:

This has become my favorite series on the channel, Sam. Your production quality is fantastic, theres a high entertainment value, I'm always on the edge of my seat hoping you outwit the evil scrap man! Well done mate.

I like how you made this series look like an actual British TV Show that is airing on BBC. Real nice 👌

Love, Love, Love these! I only wish there was an uncut version for the full 46 minutes!

Loving this series! cant help but notice the Ebay listing, when that CP loco is showcased I might make a bid on it.

Sams trains is the best source of nonchalant sarcastic comedy

I picked up one of these lovely locos for £20 at a vintage antiques warehouse but have worried it may never run - this gives me great hope! Well done Sam!

The 57xx Pannier tank is my favorite non-American steam locomotive (ergo, Duck is my favorite Thomas character). They look so proud and professional. It would have broken my heart to see the Scrapman get his paws on this one, so I'm especially glad to see it salvaged.

This format reminds me of typical british and american car shows I watched with my dad

What a fascinating series. I'm guessing the time limit adds a bit of excitement to the video but from my point of view even if restoration was over a longer time period it would have been just as fascinating.

Just found this series recently, and I'm loving it! As if restoring locos wasn't hard enough, you're putting time and condition restrictions on it! Looking forward to viewing them all. Cheers, Jim L

Hi Sam I am glad you made this video. I own quite a few Pannier tank engines that are preowned so you have given me how to work on them when they need it . Thanks from your friend in the USA.

Morning Sam, a challenge which normally doesn’t go up again a clock. Let alone under an hour. Fantastic you meet and beat the challenge. Excellent idea, can you have a longer video which shows more of what and how you doing the fixes, know many of the repairs and services have been done before but any thing or tips always help. Keep up great videos, look forward to next reviews. New hornby pendolino? Old tooling but new livery… all best Marc

Woah, never seen a mainline loco run like this. Out of all of them, this was the one I was doubting you'd fix. Good job.

Nice, a new concept, and well executed! I can see your putting in a lot of care into your KZfaq channel.

Really enjoying this series! Some elements of the mending process are particularly satisfying as well! 😁😁

The fact you bought this train so cheap and it looks so fantastic makes me yearn to have steady hands and get good at cleaning and fixing 🥰

Great videos, love the channel. A rust removal trick I was once shown was to get some kitchen foil and rub the rust. Works a treat.

“Daddy gear” the chuckling levels suddenly increased. Enjoying this Sam! Makes me appreciate the finer sides of this amazing hobby. And on the subject of Mainline locos running well - I have a Royal Scot in amazing condition! Bought secondhand, its only issue is a minor wobble. Other than that, she’s a star

I think this is the earliest I've ever been on one of your videos, and I'm excited I've been looking forward to this episode!

Enjoyed the video. Glad you got this one fixed. I have the replica railways version which I believe is the same which I bought in the mid 1990's. I quite like the split chassis for it's simplicity. Thanks for showing cheers Paul.

Hello and love your channel. I use to fix PCs and laptops which have many small parts like model trains. I would used a ice cube tray or egg carton to keep the small parts and screws organized and on-hand in a safe location. I hope this is an useful tip for you. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Wow ,, good job Sam,, good to see you are doing something I have done in real time and thats scrap metal recycling and transporting scrap and bits and pieces. Also i didnt know you can use vasolene as bearing grease. See we learn something new every day. Again Thanks for the awesome videos you put on KZfaq. Cheers from John in Australia

Just wanted to say I love this series Sam, stay awesome :)

Cotton buds and the brush head from an electric toothbrush… tools of the master! I love it! Looks like my workbench. Well done on the restoration.

Hi Sam: Tips abound, extremely useful video for all enthusiasts!

I always look forward to salvage or scrap. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see one go to the scrap man! Nice job it's a beautiful train!

i really enjoy this series. keep it up!

That Z-e-n broadband ad before every video I watch on KZfaq is driving me nuts!

I love this series. Keep it up!

27 years old and I still have to skip past the intro .... That scrap man freeks me the hell out! Also Sam my god there was so many joke in this one that made me laugh 🤣 thank you

Cool job, Sam.. I love those little pannier locos.

That was fun and exciting. I hope that you enjoy making these as much as we enjoy watching. If you didn't live on the other side of the world, I might send you a loco or two to work on.

I have watched several of your episodes. The Salvage and Scrap were the most interesting and entertaining. Please make more. Excellent Channel

I love a pannier! Glad you managed to fix it.

This had me hiding behind my chair it`s more scarier than Doctor Who...lol Well done Sam..

This is such a cool series mate!

These are excellent. Nicely done Sam!

Hello Sam, more news from the US side of the pond. I’ve now obtained a Bachmann “Baldwin modern 4-4-0” from eBay. It was used on eBay, but was a good price, and in great condition, and right out of the box, it fired up with sound. Not as big, or pricey as the Broadway Limiteds, but still a welcome addition to the collection. Keep up the awesome work

The Scrap man is the lead operator of the Smelters Yard on the island of Sodor. And Mr.Sam, you all way’s managed to salvage all of your old broken locomotive’s, has their actually ever been a time when the Scrap Man got his keep?

I use fuse wire to make handrails but my 1960 Hornby Dublo A4 Golden Fleece still has its original carbon brushes and runs like a dream.

Absolutely fabulous Sam . Well done 👏.

I'm impressed. You've really nailed that Discovery Channel feeling. 👍

nice turn around Sam... i have a J72 which is crying for a Sams Trains style clean over! cheers Neil

Hi Sam.. Another scrapheap challenge great.... a seriously built model, built to last... poor scrap monster all he gets to eat is paper ( not that i will ever believe that it would eat anything more than that).. great vid Sam tnks.

Happy to see that you saved what is maybe my favourite Brit loco. I was worried you wouldn't get it done.

I feel sorry for the family member who’s toothbrush you used. Now covered in mould😂

"Must look like new". Well, granted, no worries, we'll be looking the other way, lol. Nice cute little loco Sam, and happy that you could save her, certainly looking the business. Naturally weathered and wear and tear like the real thing.

Work of an artist Sam, thanks for sharing.

The Scrap man has got to be the scariest thing I've ever seen.

Hi Sam, Nice to see it back on track ( I have a Mainline warship rubbish would not have a Mainline again) All the Best Brian 🤗

Hey Sam you are the best.

Ayyy this is my favorite series! Keep them coming !

Awesome video today Sam so glad you got the locomotive working again

I have gotten back in trains, I missed watching your videos

I'm surprised that you said it is the best you have ever seen one of these run. My Bachmann Panier is a truly good runner, even at slow speed and has no wobble. I was so happy with it, that I tried to put sound into it, but that was too much to ask as there wasn't room for the larger decoder unless I wanted to put in in the cab, so failed on that one.

Nice its great to see the scrap man loves instructions

Amazing, keep up the great work x

Haha, love it Sam 🤓 I do like the 57XXs so I am glad you were able to do such a good job on her! 🍾 Glad to see the Scrapman’s plate was empty again 😜 Cheers mate 👍🍻🍀

A cool video Sam. I always ♥ the Salvage or Scrap series.

i have a feeling those instructions will be all that the evil scrapman eats from these videos. great job restoring the engine to running condition!

Since the Panier tank waddles you could nickname it Duck.

Love this dude. Scrap man is a legend

Yay I love this series so much, I can’t wait to see what looks like a Canadian pacific gp 38 diesel ,in a episode

Amazing job done here ! I was considering buying some non-runners on ebay to have a decorating shelf with some trains, but if you can turn back a shelf queen into a running engine... Mmmm, except one with missing parts, which kind of second-hand engine might be really unsalvageable ? Destroyed gears, burned up motor, kinked axles or wheels, broken chassis... Have you seen one so badly damaged that it cannot be salvaged at all ? That might exist...

Nice restoration!

The evil scrap man should make an appearance at one of the upcoming Hallowsteam events being held at various heritage railways in the UK - now that would scare the kids!

Job well done Sam.........very entertaining...........Cheers Greg

Nice one! Job well done!

I love dis series keep it up

Mainline was a standout brand when they suddenly arrived from Palitoy in the late 70s/early 80s. I still have two J72 models that have been part of my layout since they were bought new in about 1982. Both still work perfectly reliably and have has little maintenance in that time - NEVER opened the motor - and have been running regularly at model railway shows at least three times annually - except 2020.' This year, 2021, I have attended two layout shows and have another on October. Wonder why people seem down on the "split chassis" type systems in these locomotives?

Gotta love Scrapman's voice !!! 👍👍👍

18:18 - I'd say that looks "brand new", if Heljan are anything to go by!

Now you have a new panier tank good job Sam.

I feel like I’m on the history channel when I’m watching this

TV level quality, CBBC should pick this up ASAP!

How do you know what to do I have a pannier tank and it was a bit like that

The good news is it's not mold,it's just weathering, it's just made to look like dirt and grime .

Hey Sam I've got models that are about 30 - 40 years old and have never been serviced in their life and run fine, tad noisy but that's ringfield motors for you bit noisy but last forever, proper craftmanship back in those days 👍

Nicely done. 👍

Time-O-Matic was a bit generous with 46', still excellent job considering the time limit. Interesting, and shows the difference between 'then' and 'now'. Al.

Very “Great Western” of you Sam

what did you use to clean the chassis?

What a great episode,great job sam👏👏👏👏

Entertaining and amusing as ever 😁👍

That's pretty impressive I have to say I thought it was pretty much a doomed from the start. I thought this would be the first time the scrapman was going to get a snack, oh well at least he got the instructions

Instead of giving your broken unfixed models to the scrap man, you should use them as scrap dressing, and maybe make some look rusty and tie them onto flatbeds and make a diesel haul them, as if they look like they’re going to the scrap yard.

hey sams trains, i have a Hornby BR Class 42 Warship that lost both of its bogies and I'm wondering if you take in old trains to use on salvage or scrap?

What is the stand called when u put the locomotive on

Hey, another of Salvage or Scrap. Great video. Activating the time o matic makes me laugh. I have tried fixing a mainline rebuilt patriot but it's split chassis is horrible, it's sat in a plastic tub in pieces waiting to be fixed.

Hi if anyone can- does anyone know what that type of motor the model is using is called? I got one but it is missing parts. I need to know so I can replace it😂

I suppose you fed the Scrapman the instructions out of pity for starving him for so long. Anyway, I wish I could be this good at cleaning these things. I already broke a couple locos in my attempt to clean them. I even gimped my Baldwin 10-12-D a bit after removing the base keeper plate (although Bachmann's decision to attach the pickups to it is the one major flaw in an otherwise good model.) I just wish cleaning them were easier.

You should do a Salvage or Scrap on your Lafayette

“Any special requests from the Train-O-Matic today?” Train-O-Matic. Sure.

Wait, your selling them afterwards!? I beg you please keep the Flying Scotsman that’s there, it’s a lovely looking model and I would love to see it on your railway more often!

Poor Scrap Man. This could have a second season where you take on other modelers. That would be fun to watch and give bragging rights to the winner. You could have two locos of near equal disrepair. Have your competitor choose first then complete. Just an idea.
