Nice video. How do you cut the foam to create the 3 different levels.

The enthusiasm is definitely in your hands however, not too many people own a 3D printer.

It's a ahm motor.its in the C liners.dont expect too much!

Runs well!

does this work better than dragging the mdf backerboard?

This could be a later model Bachmann pancake motor engine with the all-wheel pickup

I might have to give this a try,

i like your thinking out of the box. what a great Bridge.

Give all the material that you use and send it back to me. I like that idea thank you please

I only subbed for your terrain tutorials. Do more of those please!!!

E' l'unico dispositivo che vedo essere costruito in maniera molto professionale! Bravo!

The 1306f that I have does not have paint on the roof, the wheels are black and all 3 lights are silver on the front. My father purchased the engine in the early to mid 60s. The beautiful peice still runs.

Fabulous video. Just did a 0 6 0 small Fleischmann 891315. bought it used ebay. Ran for a short time and shorted out power supply. Your doing it gave me the confidence to clean it myself. BTW measured 11.4 ohms per coil. all gear train was smooth and so far Awesome Acetone worked as a solvent real well. Did a test area first. Vielen Dank und ein Wuensch fuer ein wunderbares Weihnacht Zeit nd neues Jahr!!

Just starting out building my sons first model railway. These trees are the best I've seen, great video, thanks for sharing. Subscribed.

Thank you so much for posting this video. It was just the tutorial I needed to get an eBay purchased Bachmann Santa Fe Freight train engine running again, you really helped save it from the recycle bin! Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas!

Thanks for sharing, very useful! I got into Lima locos & cars about 3 years ago, and have come to like their charm and robustness (never mind their great value).

Some people use foxtail grass or twigs for armature’s. But they usually dip them in lacquer, or something to preserve them.

NICE!

1000 likes. I'm from Brazil and I really like your videos, I made them and they came out the same, thank you very much.

You really brought this together nicely. Was unsure where you were going when you started but the end results are great. Thanks for sharing.

great video! i just bought 2 ones for 20eur :) It is my 5th and 6th old fleischmann :) also have their catalog 1963/1964 , it is just wonderfull! btw, all my fleischmann have almost the same engine :)

Very nice! And it just reminded me that I bought a couple of bags of polyester fibre a few years ago and never used them. Time to find it again :)

Yeah Anthony my first video I watched of yours this is actually very innovative Subbed Ty for sharing

Thank you for sharing the video

Anyone planning on doing this, make sure you wear a mask with floral foam. That stuff will kill you, it is made of nasty stuff you do NOT want to get into your lungs.

17 minutes and 14 seconds could have been condensed to 2 minutes.

Nice

I believe track rubber works on old track, followed by a good rubbing of a piece of pine wood rubbed in hard, then a good vacuum, then your advice should work. Got to get the sins of past scratches out first. First fix the sins of the past. Also there are 99% ISP and methanol alcohol brands that work well - agree 70% alcohol is P00. 99% ISP works but can damage paint and by carbon atom count in the molecule, has a lot more carbon/black S*it than methanol. Oil based cleaners like Inox have a lot more carbon and the oil decreases traction if you want long trains or inclines. I have found Polished or new rails followed by a CMX track cleaner with 99% methanol every 6 months maximizes traction and electrical pickup and is 90% as good as slippery oil based conductors for electrical pickup on unadulterated track without any wheel slippage. ☺

Added, Liked, And saved!!! I'll be Stealing this idea and using it on my layout. Well done, Sir!

CAUSES LUNG CANCER AND OTHER LUNG DISEASES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice video, by the way.

How did you remove the shell? I just bought mine and need to work with the motor, but the instructions don't show how to open it up.

I really found this video helpful! It will be perfect for in between my track lines! Could you please write out what product s. You used? Ididn’t quite catch them. Thank you. David

Amazing!!!!

Excellent narration!

You are very creative.

Absolutely amazing great 3D effect

Buy the proper scenics ,glue paint material ect not cheap , plus thd foam will break dwn over time 😂

Tazer Gun,,, Yee Haa, I gotta make a high powered Tazer using this same method !

Looking good,not too busy.

I am into model trains and have HO and G scale DC trains. I too have made my own train controllers using PWM controller. I am from Chennai India.

I just came across this video .... Subscribed!!! 👍

Thanks for sharing this video, really useful, I've got a mainline loco with a knocking sound, have to have a look at it now, J

Hi Anthony, great you done this project by yourself, that is respect. However I would like to share some critics. 1 I heard about construction benefits, but didn't about quality of driving, especially start moment with lowest speed possible 2 You do not tell us what is the excact minimal voltage, if 1-2V, it is not worth it, because some motors like classic HAG could start below, and coreless even from 0.1V. 3 Primitive old school construction does not contain potentiometer, it has Cu wire with brush, muuuuch better solution indeed. 4 Primitive is not the best, because 90% of locomotive need halfwave range to start really great like with DCC on board. Best old school late flagship controllers like Trix, Fleischmann, Titan, Duette, Piko has it. I'm not sure that this feature would take a lot of things... Sure it should be switchable as Duette. 5 Should have additional spring potentiometer (Vishay 100 Ohm or 1k Ohm) for lowering voltage to give more flexibility. Primitive idea was on the Duette. 6 Aha....((( Knob for train controller should be very very very big, like those which had sound amplifier from 90s. Imagine, you control locomotive and it should be as smooth as possible. Those small knobs like your or Gaugemaster suit only for brightness of some lamps "tune and forget". 7 You made the same mistake for direction control as famous British companies when plase it horizontal. It works if you have straight line, but bad with rounds. The best is vertical, because you would always know where you locomotive moves. Could write more, but that is the most important things...

Hi Anthony, Need your help with a Fleischmann Alco FA unit. Ringfield and gears are fine, thanks to your tutelage with this video. It's missing the copper (brass) nub on the rear truck, which I am unsure makes a difference. It has trouble making a complete lap without nudging it, and for no reason the rear truck derails. I wish you had a personal email/Facebook page to message you with. Awaiting your answer. Thanks.

We just laid and ballasted the track and I have been stuck on how to get started with the actual ground cover. I am excited to try this method. I really like the look. Thank you!

Hello! Question? Why did you not use any grease on gears? Comment: You used Q-tips that kept leaving residue on everything; There are wonderful cotton swabs available on ebay that come with a longer wooden shaft and a head that is made for cleaning guns and other different shaped areas, and there are thin, thick, pointed, and other different shaped heads which are much better then the swabs you used. The cotton you used was very noticeable on camera leaving cotton strings numerous times! Your video was exactly right for me! Ted

This is brilliant. thanks

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the video! I have just found a Mainline Warship ( for a resonable price ) I had the BR blue version when i was younger ( some ahem... 30/40 years back ). Mainline were incredible back in the day. The quality and detail was unreal, and propper handrails too! Anyway thank you I had no idea about the two drive gears cracking over time. Thanks for the heads up. Just subscribed to your channel but felt I would like to thank you with a comment. Thank you!
