Testing N-Scale Locomotives from OVAR Swap

[@mr-meek]

I'm going to say the same thing I said last year when you brought home bargain bin N scale locos.... I wish I could find similar prices here.. Awesome!!! I would buy every N scale loco or box car at $1... regardless of condition, lol

[@Nathanator-6688]

Don't spend your precious money on smokes people, Instead buy model, trains!

[@SMTMainline]

Smoking's for steam locomotives

[@Nathanator-6688]

You're absolutely correct!

[@tommurphy4307]

grow your own

[@crudecaboose8382]

Pennsylvania unit might be a fa1 or fa2

[@tommurphy4307]

mark peterson calls it an FA-something. you want to avoid the old four-wheel-drive mehanos (MP) and get the eight-wheel-drive proto ones they run and pull much better. plus they can be reliable if you do a motor-tune on them swapping some kato brushes in there while doing it. protos weren't blessed with the best OE brushes in the world.

[@stevearnold2304]

I’ve gotten pretty good at buying old Bachmann and Trix and totally rebuilding them.

[@tommurphy4307]

then you prolly know how to use spectrum motors in your trix f-units, right?

[@trainstorm1225]

Truly some beautiful locomotives. Nice to see some N scale content on the channel. I enjoyed. Good job! 👍🏻

[@Rafe0921]

Nice to you expanding your n scale stuff.

[@nathandelay]

Awesome finds Harrison and awesome video and that was pretty awesome of them running except the one and have an awesome day

[@tommurphy4307]

totally awesome

[@kensbackshop6399]

Scrump youl go blind working on N. gauge trains,,,,lol

at the very least you'll want to get some good readers.

great video liked :)

How many n scale Engines you have I saw your loaded on ho engines.maybe start a collection of n scale Engines.

[@Brandonvilches0721]

The black CN FP45PH looks nice!

That donut shop reminds me of that one scene in iron man 2 or 3 where he’s enjoying a donut in a donut

[@antonbruce1241]

That was shot at Randy's Donuts here in the L.A. Area. It's a legend here in the So Cal area. Sadly...it's currently closed due to COVID-19. Oh...it was also the prototype for the model.

Wow Smt got few good runners on N scale nice Sir enjoyed this video, u cant beat the prices that u got

[@georgiacentralsouthernrr3170]

I have a Santa fe just like the Pennsylvania loco. U can see it in one of my vids

[@crsrdash-840b5]

I like the 4-4-0 General. It might need some new rubber traction tires. Those couplers are weird.

[@tommurphy4307]

b'mann has em. the atlas 4-4-0 is a much better unit

[@christineanderson6750]

N scale

[@johnramirez5996]

I got 2 chessie's. They run great. In video of Lansing i picked up a engine n scale for $2 said on sticker doesn't run. Well runs great has slight sticking problem between driveshaft and drive axle. My U.P. needs a brush and spring. Ordering them from factory ( parts dept)

[@tommurphy4307]

b'mann only sells new motors- no brushes or springs are avail. you can make brushes for them fairly easily, though. in N scale- all the b'mann frame motors use the same diameter brushes- even the spectrum motors.

[@elleryparsons5766]

Hey SMT you rock man.

[@Rafe0921]

Maybe it needs it traction tires replaced

[@warbabyproductions]

That steam engine is the Jupiter’s partner at the continental railroad opening they called it the 119

I hope so!

[@noman4087]

I have that same old western train set but it's in ho scale

[@robertjr7789]

The Pennsylvania locomotive and the steam locomotive look cool

[@KrizAkoni]

Nice finds!

[@smalllocoguy770]

The 4-4-0 should have traction tyres I think Bachmann still supply them

[@tommurphy4307]

only complete with wheels. bullfrog snot always works and its cheaper

[@GarrettTaylorLeedy]

Those are some nice locomotives

[@davidztog9011]

Good to see most of the N scale purchases operate, Harrison. The Chessie is very nice. I have the Pennsy diesel with passenger consist. I may be biased, but I have to say that's the best of the lot. I see you are starting to duplicate your HO locos in N scale - - nice, but you don't have the Pennsy. The hole in one donut shop will have to wait - - you need to get busy on the Mammoth Project! 😁 👍 👍 👍

[@tommurphy4307]

hole-in-one donuts used to be in victorville- but i think it went under.

[@sergioarroyoguerrero5434]

I have N scale locomotives. Bachmann. Life Like. Atlas. Lima 🇮🇹. High Speed. U36B Spirit of 76. GP38-2 Santa Fe. F9 Chicago and North Western. GP40-2 Penn Central. GP15-1 BNSF 🎃. FM Santa Fe Dummy. F9 Pensilvania. GP35 Southern Pacific Dummy. I gonna have a Kato locomotive. CSX.

[@tjprptchable]

That steam locomotive is awsome and it's even cooler for the fact its #119 because that's Union Pacifics 4-4-0 that met Jupiter for th golden spike

[@Celtic20]

The year was 1869

Try to put oil in it

[@kevinjennerproductions2024]

Well this should be interesting...

[@Barb5001]

I see you have some Lionel "O" gauge track... the kind that was used for Lionel's 027 gauge sets.... which was "S' gauge rolling stock on "O" gauge track . It was marketed mainly for children. What do you have at that gauge"

[@dbtech7914]

Nice finds! I've had good luck with Bachmann N-gauge but not so much with the HO. Make sure the tender lines up with the engine. The locomotive might not be sitting flat on the track.

[@SMTMainline]

I will probably have to do some adjustments on the bachmann loco. Also I wanted to thank you for sending those parts, I will probably show or use them in a future video.

[@dbtech7914]

Awesome! Glad to know it got there and I hope you can use some of the parts.

[@tommurphy4307]

interesting- the HO 4-4-0 is a lot more reliable.

[@MasonRascona]

The steam locomotive may need some weight added. And some bullfrog snot for "traction tires"

[@northerncountryrailroad8939]

Amazing haul!

[@southernrailfanner7675]

The steam train is was wheel slipping

Hey Harrison, Can you please Build A Bigger N Scale Layout?

[@tommurphy4307]

harrison is a 'HO'-er. careful how you say that....

[@sergioarroyoguerrero5434]

N scale locomotives. Cool.

[@HarvesterE]

Im willing to give you 50 of them for you opinion and feedback. Trying to sell these things and see what I can improve on. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@SMTMainline]

Do you mean an appraisal?

[@tommurphy4307]

50 dollars is 50 dollars....right?

[@Petemonster62]

Attention N scale modelers - is there an N scale uncoupling track for Rapido couplers? I also wonder if anyone has had success with using " rubber restorer " chemical on traction tires?

[@lazyrrr2411]

ROCO had one Years ago ... a little "pin" comes up and pushes the coupler up ⬆ you gotta be Real Fussy in spotting the car

[@tommurphy4307]

minitrix made one that had an elongated shoe on it- easier to spot. the guys in my club use wooden food skewers or a rix-pick for rapidos. best thing to do is not to rely on traction tires- or get a bottle of bullfrog snot.

[@Vinyl_guy]

that steamer lools like a tourist excursion train
