Running All of My Ho Steam Locomotives - Part 1

After receiving many requests I decided to do an update to my previous video "Running all my Ho steam locomotives" from 2018. As it would turn out not every one of these engines ran perfectly but I still ran what I could. Since I ended up taking over 40 minutes of footage I decided to split this video into two parts. The second should be on its way soon.

Hey Harrison, congrats on hitting 16K subs! @12:51 the Bachmann New Haven loco is supposed to run on DC as well. It should even have a smoke unit. You may need to remove the DCC chip or put in a jumper. Mark (M&M Rails) has an Atlas that is both DCC and DC which required manually switching it to one or the other. Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

[@BlaxlandRidge3]

japanese locomotives? tell me more!

[@artualneon117]

@@BlaxlandRidge3 Well, actually I just have one of them, a Shinkansen N-700 series N scale when my father visit Japan and gave me it. Japanese trains are my top of the best trains in the world, and you probably like them too. Mechanism of these trains are great at all, my favorite part of them is their working lights when moving the train. Also I like Densha, a subway train that are really cool too. I know all of this because I lived in Japan a few years before the 2008 tsunami. So honestly, I recommend you these japanese train series.

[@BlaxlandRidge3]

@@artualneon117 I model HO, and while I know Japan runs cape gauge, I'm jonesing for an HO C62. I'm going to try building one myself out of a mantua 4-6-2. N seems to be Japan's most popular gauge.

[@petrmaly9087]

While living in Scotland we went on a trip to the Highlands and watched a steam train go over Glenfinnan Viaduct, the one famous rail bridge from Harry Potter and I took some pictures with pre-war film camera. I also enjoyed riding as a passenger in a historical steam steam train in Moravia (Bohemian-Moravian highland). And in Scotland sailing on the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world, PS Waverley.

that boiler on that "brass" engine isnt brass either. its a one for one copy of an MDC Roundhouse ATSF 4-4-2. They reused the 4-4-2 boiler on their 2-6-2 chassis, making an oddball. You can see the piping is all molded on. Its just painted much better, probably spray can, whereas everything else is likely brush painted.

[@MSwolfdog158]

Nice Collection of oo ho Steam locomotive and Diesel locomotive!

[@speedster1093]

The steam engine army!

[@TeroquNoir]

The reason some of them weren't working properly is because with older models you need to warm it up by helping it do laps around the track. Older used trains aren't made to be used at the same speed all the time, but kids never read the manual and love using it on full speed every time. Then, by the time you get it, it will always have starting issues and a much lower life expectancy. Once you help the train around the track it will eventually get used to the rails and will run at least 3/4 smoothly. You WILL have to do this every time you pull it out again unfortunately.

[@SMTMainline]

Do you have any explanation by why letting them warm up helps? I've heard a lot of people make this claim but I can't seem to wrap my head around why it would do anything other then the commutator clearing off from fiction. DC motors work best at a fairly high RPM which is why I usually run them fast.

[@TeroquNoir]

I was hoping you'd ask. Electric motors require friction to run, but first they have to get warm hence the friction. That's why the ol' brush motors use brushes to brush against the motor. As for the tracks and wheels, when they're warmer they do conduct better as the widely spread molecules of warm metal conduct easier than tightly clustered molecules of cold metal.

[@TeroquNoir]

While they don't seem cold, they're cold enough to matter. And because they're small they get cold fast.

[@trainfan504]

Wow I only have 2 locomotives . Not steam just all. Good vid too.

[@ivovanzon164]

Maintenance tips for the Fleischmann one (which is identifiable as a 1954 production one) The reason for it not running well is dry bearings (which give that characteristic screaming sound) and crud on the wheel contacts. It needs an almost complete disassembly to get there. Start with unscrewing the buffers and take care not to lose the spring filament of the couplers...
