Little Helpers - Fixing derailments of the Märklin 2660

[@volkerschneider7154]

You have a serious pedagogical talent! - Regarding derailments, I must say that I can solve 90% of them by replacing one or another of the old M-tracks.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks a lot, if you want to know my opinion on derailments, here is a video suggestion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4PKaYirmL1rgqssi=IldJ25HFwFVyyeF0 😉

[@userfromnowhere]

indeed we need to see the full scale video for the entire process how the troubleshooting has been done. very nice job

[@The3rdRail]

thanks!

[@CM-he8ni]

Wow that’s complicated,thank you for sharing your expertise. Strange it was 3rd class carriage causing the grief. Enjoying with a particularly nice Beaujolais😊

[@The3rdRail]

All of them needed work, Santé!

Very informative video on running non-Marklin rolling stock on M-track. I have had numerous derailment problems running long Liliput passenger coaches on my M track layout. After viewing this video I was able to purchase some Marklin DC wheel sets and installed them on my Liliput coaches. This change virtually resolved all my derailment issues when running long Liliput passenger coaches. The Marklin DC wheel sets do have significantly larger wheel flanges than the those on my Liliput cars. Many Thanks again for your helpful videos! Craig

[@The3rdRail]

you mean the integration hell video I think. Glad it helped! 👍

[@ModelTrainFun]

Great video - surprising that it was rust that caused the issue - I would never have caught that. Nice. Enjoy ;-) Bo

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks 👍

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

A fantastic master class in repairs and investigation! Beautiful stock restored to excellent condition!

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks a lot! It is a nice set indeed. Thanks for your time today.

[@jeanricard918]

As always it’s a pleasure to see you doing the maintenance of these beauties, thanks for sharing.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks for watching!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful train! Lovely locomotive and coaches, simply stunning. I find very attractive the electric locomotives with connecting rods power transmissions. Greetings from Costa Rica. By any chance are you attending MOBA 2023 in Güttingen this September? I’ll be there.

[@The3rdRail]

Nice set indeed. No MOBA 2023 for me this year. Have a good one!

[@derbundesbahnandre8357]

Super video. 😃👍🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@The3rdRail]

Thank you 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🚂🚂🚂👏👏

[@nickwogan415]

A very good bit of deductive reasoning! Early electrics are really fascinating because they could only work the new power through existing steam engine technology, hence all the coupling rods to the driving wheels and the existence of leading bogies a la steam engines. These are beautifully detailed little models and I endorse the request for an updated 1930s running session. As usual a very interesting and informative video. Thank you.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks your time today, glad you enjoyed the video. I shall put another stroke against the DRG Session request item on my list of potential topics… have a good rest of the your weekend.

[@Romin.777]

That was really helpfull since i have one coach with the same problem. Thanks. :))

[@The3rdRail]

You're welcome!

[@roststab]

I like it. A precise investigation and no more any Derailment! That's well done.

[@The3rdRail]

🙏

[@barnstorm8971]

I always learn something new from these fix-it videos. Thanks.

[@The3rdRail]

Mission accomplished 😉🙏

[@kellypaws]

We started watching some of your older videos and I must say, your history of prototypes is absolutely outstanding. By far the most comprehenesive and clearly presented we have seen on KZbin. An absolute joy and quite absorbing.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks a lot, glad you find the information useful.

[@christophetardivat234]

thanks for the investigation, and very useful, you will save plenty of time and aggravation for all of us!!

[@The3rdRail]

You are too kind... Merci!

[@dadobna2686]

Quite an informative (and also entertaining) video! I must admit I usually just keep your videos running in the background, like a podcast, but I certainly appreciate the time and effort that goes into creating them! So now that you have another DRG train in running order, would you consider filming an updated 1930s running session?

[@The3rdRail]

Whatever the way the video is run, it still counts as a view 👍. Also, it is nice to read my voiceover is now podcast level material😀. I certainly could do a DRG running session, I'll bear this in mind.

[@MMK96]

Again very informative and fun to watch - thank you! I presume these coaches would also look good behind some nice era II BR 38 or BR 18!

[@The3rdRail]

I think so. Thanks for your time today.

[@20RKL]

That was a nice set.

[@The3rdRail]

Yes it was!

[@jochenkraus7016]

@@The3rdRail It still is :-) I bought a 2860 second hand and put in a Loksound decoder

[@lindaoffenbach]

A delightful set and thank you for sharing. Unusual construction of the coaches indeed for the period; a Trix thing we can assume(?) Kinematics are great but all kinds of dust can cause quite some niggling havoc on them; need to be kept clean. We usually use some air-pressure but these odd-one-out assembly is a different matter. Cleverly done. Cheerio.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks for the compliment, compressed air should work here too, but it won;t fix the rusty weight problems if any of course. Have a good weekend.

[@jochenkraus7016]

It's possible that it's Trix. I have a very similar railcar I bought second hand with Trix written on the underside.

À mes oreilles vous semblez avoir un accent du Belges ou de France. Est-ce que j'ai raison?

You have a good ear 😉

Einige Modellbahner haben, bei dieser Wagon art, zwichen drehgestel und Chassie, eine unterlegscheibe, gelegt, damit es nicht mehr klemt, ------------ ja das mit dem entfernen der Stifte ist eine Dumme idee, aber das mit dem Rost Problem, habe ich noch nicht gehört, ------------ welche volt spannung und was vorn Nickel hast du für das Galvanesieren genutzt ? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Translate by Google------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some model railroaders have put a washer between the bogie and the chassis on this type of wagon so that it no longer sticks, ------------ yes, removing the pins is a stupid idea, but I haven't heard the rust problem yet, ------------ what voltage and what kind of Nickel did you use for the electroplating?

[@The3rdRail]

Manchmal ist es einfach, manche Sachen zu übersehen, und Sachen anzustellen, die eigentlich unnötig gewesen wären... Na ja... Galvanisierung: ➞ siehe verlinktes Video. Die Lösung besteht aus Essig, Salz und Nickel (alles selbstgekocht), Spannung ist 5v und die Anode ist ein 99.9%ges Nickel Blech. Gruss nach Berlin.
