[@Deuce_and_a_half]

Hey Sam, I had an idea on how to fix old Bachmann split chassis loco's. I know you don't have a metal 3D printer but you could 3D print new chassis for them turning them into normal chassis loco's, take the measurements of the old one and print. You'd have to fit them with wiper pickups, and since it wouldn't be as heavy as the original you could include compartnents and holes for led weights in the plastic chassis, it's worth a try. I may be off my rocker but it's food for thought.

[@bentullett6068]

@@ryancinarkaya5791 In one of the recent Lawrie goes a little loco episodes on Lawries mechanical marvels KZbin channel Lawrie had got 3D printed replacement parts for a old Mainline locomotive with a split chassis (pre Bachmann loco) and the parts you mentioned were used.

[@SamsTrains]

Great ideas! Yes it's the axles themselves that are the main point of failure - and you sure can 3D print new ones! I love the idea of trying to create an all-new chassis though, fascinating! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Ko-Rail7382]

This is by far the best model railroading repair series I've ever seen! The scrap-man got the coin, right?

[@MrBnsftrain]

Okay, this new series is going to be epic! Glad to see you are actually putting that 3D printer to good use

[@TheZeldafan57]

I've been really impressed with the ramp up in production value these days Sam! You're constantly coming up with ideas to freshen up your channel which started with a very simple core concept. Its one of the many reasons why I love this channel, good job Sam!

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you so much - I'm doing my best! That's very kind of you to say, really appreciate it! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@rynodynomyte2755]

Amazing job Sam! You made it look like just a tv show! You could both salvage and scrap it! Save parts can be reusable and use the rest of it as a scrap model for a scrapyard display on your layout!

[@OlivierGabin]

Great idea you have ! I like the idea to show us easy tricks to save a run-down engine, with a challenge on time to do the job. Anyway, you are highly skilled. I'm amazed to have been able to hardwire a DCC decoder on my Hornby Peckett without destroying everything (first time to do a proper use of a soldering iron for me !), so people with highly above average manual skills like you are my heroes. Keep on the good job done ! You are highly inspiring.

[@LumityTrioE2]

Great work, I've always been fascinated by the life and death of a locomotive, and also general restoration is very therapeutic & satisfying to watch. Can't wait for more, I completely lost track of time watching this. I know people have already said this, but this really does feel like an actual show from the Discovery Channel.

This is one of my favourite videos on this channel. A suggestion - you could get a hornby clockwork M Series (or MO Series). You can pick them up cheap in bad condition. It would certainly be a challange!

[@TannithVQ]

This format seems to be working really well so far. I enjoyed that.

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you so much - that's good to hear! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@InkblotHyena]

Love the idea for the show! It reminds me of classic Discovery Channel TV shows, and it could provide inspiration for others to attempt to repair other engines.

[@mgr_video_productions]

I'm loving this series. It feels a TV show and it's better and more entertaining than shows on TV.

[@Brendon_up1995]

I’m definitely going to love this new series, I should send my Rivarossi Challenger locomotive to be on Salvage or Scrap as it needs some work

[@pilotbug6100]

Yeah there should be fan contestants (like every once in a while a fan could send their locomotive for this series) that would be interesting

[@SamsTrains]

haha awesome - though I'm not sure if I'd dare attempt that! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@admiralsouthdown485]

Great to see this 0-4-0 saved. No.9 was my first loco in 1996, and I revived mine after over a decade only a few weeks back.

[@Tuggster]

I never knew saving a model train could be so exhilarating

[@a2020vision_official]

Wow, very good! Just like so many cable TV shows, all it's missing is about 50% more hype and 100% more commercial breaks.

[@Soggysorbet]

We need a lot more of this series, just the fact of restoring model trains amazes me

[@tenterdentown2452]

The work that has been done on heritage railways in restoring old locos and rolling shows you that in principle anything can be repaired! That 3D printer would allow you to design and produce a complete layout. Using the 3D printer to create lineside structures and buildings would mean keeping within the limitations of the resolution it is capable of. Why not have a go at replacing some of those cardboard things on your layout with your 3D printed creations? You've got that signal box to start with. Then platforms and waiting rooms! Thanks for all your efforts in uploading these videos in your usual inimitable style!

[@peters1127]

[@trainzville9237]

Well done for getting that Hornby 0-4-0 Tank Engine restored and back into working order again, especially making her a brand new smokebox door. I definitely do not want to see these precious model locomotives be sent to the Scrapman, especially the Triang Flying Scotsman, that will never do.

[@thequietestengine]

One saved scrap loco I was able to work on, I got a triang 3f with a terrible body (looked like the front had been melted) but working motor, and a Hornby James with no tender I got years ago at a car boot sale. I moved the gear to the axle of the James chassis (needed to use James' chassis because of the pony truck attachment) and then used a dremel to cut space in the James bodywork to allow the motor to fit. The rest of the triang body i carefully cut up to fix things like the roof and footplates of my other 3fs, now I have 3 tender driven locos and my nephew loves watching James run past with long loads of trucks. (James is still hoping for coaches one day!)

[@lapiswake6583]

An awesome series idea, a great first episode too. I bet you won't get that mainline 57xx fixed though... I've spent the last few days getting my garden railway sorted. I've wired across the first lift out section, pinned the track down, cut across the board joints, wired 2 phono plug/sockets in to power the removable track but still be removable, and added locating pins on either end. It now works well, with my 08 in charge of all 22 of my wagons. Next up, further extending round the garden when my local wood yard gets more decking planks in. And also testing with my 14xx and autocoach across the joint. I'm also thinking just wire jumper cables between each track joint to supplement the fishplates instead of wiring a full on bus wire, which would take a lot of wire and also be very hard to install with all the plants around.

[@IaconicPrimatonic]

This is my second time watching this series and I thought of the TTTE season 4 episode where Skarloey breaks a spring and says that older engines can't keep up with the newer ones, but his driver says, "They can if they're mended."

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Talk about creepy. I'm sorry that my brain feels like a plateful of scrambled eggs, due to the heatwave. Here's a timer experiment I think you might want to try. Be warned, it's a dangerous one. Only try it if you dare to. Someone has taken out the motor belonging to the E2, and replaced it with a ticking time bomb. You have to try and prise the E2's body and chassis apart, in 5 minutes, before the time bomb explodes and the E2 with it. If you succeed, within 3 minutes, the bomb will automatically stop ticking. If you fail before the ticking timer reaches zero, scramble away quick-smart. The bomb will blow up and it will be GAME OVER for the E2. Sounds scary I'm sure.

[@SamsTrains]

Don't worry, my brain feels like it's been injected by Chili peppers... maybe this is the end for both of us? I think your challenge could be done - it's quite easy to remove the body... I'd just have to use that 5 minutes to take the bomb far away from the house and bury it somewhere it couldn't hurt anyone! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@paulnicoll1791]

Love it. I have always had 2 phrases in modeling 1) make do and mend. And 2) your ability to create a new model is limited to you imagination. Keep up the good work. PS I want some trams🚋🚋🚋

[@victoriacyunczyk]

Even if you can't save an engine in running condition, it can still be used as a flatcar load, or a scenery item (think withdrawn engine or sitting around the shops).

Hey sam or scrapman @1:27 if the old American steam engine tender train next to the red black and white diesel is sentence for scrap. I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands. A little steam engine like that shouldn't be sentenced to be scrapped. Hopefully you know which one im talking about.

[@twonkfieldrailways4110]

This is absolutely amazing. I can't wait for more. Also as a tip you should make an advert for it in youtube shorts format as for what ever reason shorts on KZbin are broken and get loads more views so it might bring in some more subs. I really can't wait for the next installment as the challenges get harder and maybe we might see some action from the scrap man not that that would be a particularly good thing but interesting at least.
