What's Inside Model Trains?

[@debbiemilka2251]

Yes Sam, this explanation of model train motivation kit is very enjoyable. I hope that you will do a part 2. Well done as always !

[@waldenhouse]

Morning! You mention the magic of "synchrosmoke" and the tender sound. Well, I still get that child-like thrill which transports me back to 1967 when Mum & Dad bought me the Intercity train set with three pullmans and Britannia, with synchrosmoke! It truly was magic on Christmas morning.

[@SamsTrains]

Morning! Blimey, I bet that was really magical - they must have been truly state of the art back in the 60s! Glad this brought back memories for you though! All the best, Sam :)

[@markcarey8426]

Brilliant stuff Sam. You are a whizz at this sort of analysis and much appreciatted. Cheers from NZ.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much Mark, appreciate it! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@233kosta]

Have you experimented with smoothing capacitors for DC locomotives? I should think they'd offer a way to smooth out power changes if they're implemented right.

[@marcnissen578]

It’s amazing how well they run such a simple design I truly believe things were built better years ago.The cars here are beautiful I would like to know if I could get them here in the USA.

[@SamsTrains]

I agree Marc - incredible how well these still work!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Hi Sam great to see the inside workings of the trains. I have an old loco like the first one you ran, from my childhood. It still runs but could do with a good service. I'll look for a how to on your channel. Cheers John.

[@raveoned]

Great video! The X04 motors are almost identical to a motor made in the US by Pittman, around the same time period. Just as easy to service and just as reliable! Pittman even modified the design for slot cars, just mounted horizontally.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi Ed, thanks very much for the comment mate - I've never heard of that before, but I have seen them (or something similar) in slot cars, as you say! Thanks a lot for watching, Sam :)

[@nathankingston9649]

I have a triang princess victoria, the very same chassis as your princess class. I am having trouble with it though, it will not budge, it is also setting off the shorting sensor on my controller. I took it appart and cleaned everything but still no life. any tips???

[@SamsTrains]

Hmm, yeah that's very odd - have you tried powering the motor separate from the chassis?? If it works fine, what can sometimes happen is the backs of the 'isolated' wheels (the ones with the pick-ups) can make contact with the live chassis, causing a short! You can tell if this is happening by powering the locomotive without the motor inside - if it still shorts, then that's probably your issue! Otherwise, make sure all the wiring is properly insulated, and not making any contact with the chassis at any point! Let me know how you get on! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@knightothesteamfan9231]

Hey sam I was just wondering, because I took my old Triang Flying Scotsman to a model railway store because the smoke generator was clogged, they couldn't repair it, so they removed the smoke generator , do you think that was the right thing to have been done

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate - yeah that's absolutely fine - I removed a lot of mine because they were never that effective anyway! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@SkarloeyBoi]

I don't know what is up with so many people being offended with the trains not having their body shells I quite enjoy it seeing the inside workings of old(and new) model trains.I have a lot of old O gauge Lionel trains (since you are British you may or may not be familiar with them)from the 50's,60's and 70's and it kind of amazing that all old model trains of all scales all have very similar mechanisms but the one thing that these OO trains don't have opposed to o gauge trains (at least Lionel) is a automatic reversing unit or better known as a E-unit so you don't need a direction switch.defiantly want to see more of these videos!😁🚂

[@SamsTrains]

haha, no worries mate - I think the offended people are only joking, haha! Thanks for the comment mate - and those O gauge locomotives sound very interesting - I'd love to see an automatic reversing unit - probably no space for them in 00 gauge though ;) Thanks again, Sam :)

[@SkarloeyBoi]

Sam'sTrains yep I doubt that you would be able to in OO scale 😉also did I mention great video and even though I don't own any OO gauge trains I still enjoy your videos😁🚂

[@cadetkohr5508]

If I ever start a model railway company, I want to make a train that's 90% metal, with extreme details, the best 5 pole motor we can find, nearly perfect detail, a good smoke unit, good LEDs, and if I could figure it out, a working Walscaerts valve gear. Just make it the perfect model railway engine. Most likely a Santa Fe 2-10-2 engine.

[@SamsTrains]

That would be amazing - but the huge challenge would be doing that for a good price! Even at the current typical level of detail, some manufacturers really struggle with that aspect! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@cadetkohr5508]

@@SamsTrains It's a bit ambitious, but I believe it's possible!

[@GarrettTaylorLeedy]

back in the early thirties and forties. There was a company here in the US called American Flyer it developed that piston with the smoke in it or the Piston would push the make the smoke check out period I have such of three of those types of locomotives it have that type of smoke you in it. and I have one from 19 48 it has a smoking it in a tender. how do you have smoked fluid for that locomotive if you do put some in the engine. In this unit and see if it still Chubbs just run it at a really high RPM and it really runs good and make it work again. You only need three to four drops and then put about 9 and after you want it start stuffing again

[@SamsTrains]

Hi! Thanks very much for the info on the smoke generators - I didn't know they dated back that far! I have a more modern Bachmann locomotive which has a different type of generator, which seems to work even better in fact! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@itloon]

Good video again. Was considering taking the smoke generator out of my Britannia, will probably reduce noise - foresee any disadvantage or even problems with that? Alan.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi Alan - nope, no problems in doing that at all - I often tend to do the same! The only slight issue is the reduction and weight (and then traction), but it's often not noticeable - though you can add extra weight if you feel you need to! All the best, Sam :)

[@AymanTravelTransport]

Wonder if I could create a makeshift model loco by getting a chassis, fitting a cheap motor to it and other necessary mechanisms, then just make the bodyshell out of card/paper with a loco body design drawn, printed out and folded in a similar fashion to paper bus nets? Could be a cheaper alternative to buying a locomotive; I'm looking into diesels like the Class 47

[@seank1048]

[@nnrfanoldaccount]

My friends B12 operates the opposite direction to which the controller is set, but all the other locos on the same track go the correct way, so you cant double head with it. Is that unusual?

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh that's interesting - it's the magnet! Is it a triang one like this? if so, it needs to be remagnetised in the opposite direction! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@daverichards4415]

Great video again Sam! Have you thought about maybe doing an instruction vid on re-fixing the the rods on a hornby mallard. Getting them off is no problem, but I'm struggling to get the buggers back on. There has to be a method that I'm totally missing. Have a good day mate!

[@SamsTrains]

Hi Dave, thanks very much mate! Ooh, that's a can of worms - I've only done it once or twice, but it was a total and utter faff! The only thing I can suggest is buying a 2.5mm hex nutspinner - it makes unscrewing/screwing the pins so much easier - but getting them in place is a total nightmare! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281833989204?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT All the best mate, Sam :)

Hi, I don't have any dublo - but I have the wrenn ones, which work in the same way, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHitaGOLe5xrh6M Thanks for watching mate, Sam :)

[@MikesMovies]

Good stuff Sam, I love the older stuff, Wrenn is great but you have to watch your small balls, easily lost from the bearings :) I assume you have a bridge rectifier as part of your test bed loco to charge the capacitor up. Interesting idea for a video well done

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Mike, yeah I love them too - and yes, I bought a bag of them on your recommendation! Yeah there was a rectifier in the locomotive circuit - which charges the cap as the loco runs - it was somewhere underneath that blu-tac! All the best, Sam :)

[@lionelmpc]

On the Wrenn locos - the Castle has the original Meccano-designed Ringfield motor that came out in 1960. The Class 4 has the older design motor that most of the earlier Dublo locos had, it came out about 1950. It was a modification of the original motor design from 1938! So you are right, the vertical motor is more old fashioned. Nice video!

[@SamsTrains]

Aha, thanks very much for the info! Yeah it definitely seemed to be older in it's design! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@lionelmpc]

No problem. Enjoying the videos, great job - Thanks!

[@TomPrickVixen]

I have an old PIKO BR 130 diesel with similar drive. It has all wheel pickups, directional lights, and the motor (not ringfield), with the drive on the front bogie, in a good condition. Most people don't like these old model since even with its one set of tiers it is a relatively weak "Co-Co" engine with bellow average performance. What i did, that I brought another BR 130 from a start-set in a worn condition , and I put its motor, gears, and wheels into the other one, with addition some extra (lead) weight. Now it runs way better, and has a good pulling power (up to 30+ wagons instead of max 10) , witch usually surprises others.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate! Sounds like you did a really good job on that - nice work! It always feels great to fix up an older loco!! :D All the best, Sam :)

I will strip her down and try to repair, thanks to your video I now know how they work. By the way Sam - have you done any videos covering clockwork locomotives? I used to play with my trains all the time when I was a child, but haven't touched them for about 10 years, but recently got back into them when I bought a mint boxed hornby clockwork set from the 70's/80's (All my trains are electric).

Breaking news ! Driver Sam at 3:40 to 3:42 thought in his head thinking 'little bit, little bit, little bit and uh oh! too much'. Unfortunately he was fired for running multiple hot axel boxes and leaving dents in the rails hence the locomotive's valve gear had to be changed to wallcharts And new tracks had to be placed which caused the railway board to put strict restrictions on controlled wheel slip. :) Also the Mystery loco chassis belong to the castle class.

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah that's very true - definitely much more interesting to look at! Cheers, Sam :)

[@gerrard1144]

the middle wheel is not touching the tracks

[@SamsTrains]

Yes well spotted! They were designed that way - the tri-ang track had very tight curves, and so those middle wheels needed to fly over the rails so that the loco wouldn't derail! All the best, Sam :)

[@streeqian]

I think it's a wrenn castle or king class

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah it's a castle - well spotted! :D All the best, Sam :)

[@nnrfanoldaccount]

I think its Hornby, Ill have to check with him.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh okay mate, no worries! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@nnrfanoldaccount]

Have you ever put smoking fluid in the Brittania?

[@SamsTrains]

I haven't, but I do intend to try that, apparently it works well! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@aarphotos5]

Engine 3 is a castle class

[@SamsTrains]

Yes it was! Well done! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@datguymiller]

"the naked princess" that's bound to be taken out of context

[@SamsTrains]

haha god you're right actually, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@farmerdave7965]

first loco looks like old Pittman open frame motor that draws 30 amps.

[@SamsTrains]

haha - I'd be in big trouble if one of mine started drawing 30 amps, lol ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Very Interesting Sam, Still think those XO3 and XO4 are the best, just for the sheer simplicity and reliability. Ever looked at some of the Lima mechanisms? I've got an old 45xx 2-6-2t and the mechanism in that is a mass of gears, never even attempted to service it, its complex and scares me!! Still it ran quite well, if a little noisy. By the way, worse model train motor is NOT the old tender drive ringfield, its the Hornby X2258 they use in the cheap 0-4-0's, not guts and one speed, flat out. Keep up the good work Jon PS, just in case you interested, this is what get up to in my spare time, probably not your bag but hey... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp2seoZnot1rj80 - (I'm bloke in white with the beard.)

[@SamsTrains]

Hi Jon, fully agreed mate - I've never known another motor to be quite as bullet-proof as the x04! Yeah I've looked at some of the Lima mechs - I do like them actually, though I've never experienced the 45xx - so I might avoid it if it is scary ;) Most of the diesels I have are Lima though - and I found them quite nice, similar to the Hornby ring-field, but more powerful! Cheers, Sam :)

[@mrtrainstudios]

Wait is that a diesel engine was a steam engine tender

[@SamsTrains]

haha it did look that way!! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@borderlands6606]

Haven't got to the end yet, but I'll guess a Castle or King for the nudie.

[@SamsTrains]

haha okay! And very good guess - yep it was a Castle! :D All the best, Sam :)

[@borderlands6606]

No genius required - nothing else looks like the front end motion of a GWR 4-6-0, and the tender is pure Great Western. Enjoyed the motor show, keeping some of those old split chassis locos running is nothing short of heroic!

[@crazycraigie4581]

King,castle or hall

[@SamsTrains]

Castle! :D

[@miscellaneous.7127]

8:51 Castle

Yeah! Very easy for you! :D

Thanks.

Yep! That's the one! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
