Pre-war JEP forgotten model train - Locomotive restoration

Here is a new video !!
This is a forgotten model train produced by JEP (Jouets De Paris) between 1932 / 1945.
It's a 5772L rare type "2B2 E501 PO", O gauge.
The locomotive is very heavy with its 8 ballast weights.
There was so many parts it was a very challenging task...
The wheels are made of tin so it was impossible to get a mirror finish aspect.
I think I need to buy a new transfo, and also clean the rail tracks, you'll see that the motor is not very powerful...
Please watch till the end to see this rare forgotten pre-war Jep 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 !

I'm always taken aback from how many parts are needed for something like this and that someone had to design it.

Someone loved this toy long ago, and now you've brought this piece back lovingly for all of us to enjoy, thank you. Beautiful!

[@luqmanrashid1651]

those days where toy makers actually took pride in the toys they've built.

[@vicferrari9380]

They did the best they could with their technology. Before plastic made everything cheep and throw away.

[@lautarogomez9711]

@@vicferrari9380 Toys hold no more meaning today. Because they can be done cheaper and way more stupid than before, because children today are stupid. And that stupidity is what fuels today society. Children have always been the fuel of society. They don't care about quality, they just want things as stupid as it can so that they can be fooled with them and use them as long as we want, for those are our life sources. Is because of them why companies have lost their touch

[@peterferrarotto8976]

There are many that still do - it's just that those that take pride in what they do have to charge a lot more for their products since it takes a lot more effort.

[@JasonQuests]

Wait, you’re serious? Rofl

[@elledotcom4437]

@Jackson Holloman that's kind of what I came in to say, it's not through the fault of the workers that popular toys have no pride in them, it's just the way things are now. People don't even make toys a lot of the time anymore, they just run the machines that make the toys

[@feellucky271]

I'm in my second childhood for the third time and I guess working on a 4th. Your Restorations are amazing you end up with beautiful toys that come to life once again.

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot. Glad you had a good time

[@charlesdebarber2997]

I was hoping to see more trains again. I am amazed how you have progressed with them - especially with the wheel removal tool! I like your other restorations, but the trains are really unique on KZbin and the little vintage crewmen with them bring them to life even more.

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot Charles ! More trains to come 😉

[@gouldthorp]

You have outdone yourself with this restoration. The end result was excellent. As an aside, I'm amazed by the designs and the number of parts in these old models, something that we no longer see in the combinations of plastic and electronic chips that are supposed to be toys today. Congratulations for developing our interest in "winding back the clock" to the way things used to be.

I get lost down the rabbit hole watching these videos at night. Not only is the restoration incredibly impressive but you can't help but wonder about the historical aspect of it all. The design, engineering, and production of the train. What might it have cost and how many were made? You wonder about how it may have been a gift to a small child, and how they're likely no longer with us. You think of how many items like this were lost to history, and marvel at its renewed life thanks to your remarkable restoration skills. I watch this and am filled with a sense of both loss and hope. Incredible work.

Impressive work on this pretty complex model. In real life these engine were also pretty complex, as the driving mechanism were gears placed outside of the body (the outside weights on the model depict it). The real ones were not 2B2, but 2D2 (4 driving axles), and 501 was the prototype and first produced of this class of very early electric locomotives. One still runs as of today, maintained by enthusiasts.
