"Someone Sent a G Scale Model Train Set Unboxing and Test For years I've been curious about trying G scale model trains however they tend to be somewhat rare at least where I am. Recently one of the largest boxes I've ever seen showed up at my PO box and today I decided to open it. What I wasn't expecting to see was an entire LGB G scale train set. After opening the box and setting it up I had some trouble getting the locomotive to start unbeknownst to me there was a small switch in the locomotives cab which prevented it from running. It took me a while to figure this out but afterwards I"

"This HO Locomotive Shouldn't Exist. I was browsing eBay one night when I found this strange HO scale project locomotive listed. It seems that the previous owner had given it the Santa Fe's paint scheme from the 1950s and did some custom wiring for lighting. At some point along the way this locomotive must have had a decoder however by the time I got it that seemed to have been removed. The lights also all needed to be replaced so I had my work cut out for me. To start off I worked on all the mechanical aspects of this locomotive and then moved on to adding brand new LED lights and couplers to"

Not a single one started out of the box and it took some effort to get even a couple of them operational.

"$100 DCC & Sound on 1$ 1980s Tyco Locomotive - Will it Run A common question I've been asked is weather or not you can install digital command control on older ho locomotives from the 80s. It's certainly possible but what level of difficulty is required to do so and is it worth it I decided to try it out myself and install a decoder in this [----] Tyco golden eagle locomotive. I ended up having to do some small repairs along the way but otherwise the install went pretty smooth. Some CV changes were made to the decoder to improve the sound and set the correct road address to the locomotive."

"How Dangerous is DCC to HO Locomotives Let's Find Out For several decades there has been a debate on weather it's alright to run older analog direct current or 'DC' locomotives on digital command control 'dcc" without a decoder. While most digital controllers do have a feature to run older analog locomotives it has always been believed to be a risk to the motor due to there always being voltage present in the track. The kind of energy is also much different with alternating current instead of direct current so today I decided to put it to the test and run three different eras of locomotives."

"Trying to Make a [--] Year Old Lionel GG1 Run Again - How Bad Could it Be In [----] I was on vacation in Maine and on a rainy day we visited an antique store in Arundel. I ended up finding this vintage Lionel GG1 in untested order. I purchased the locomotive and brought it home only to discover that it didn't run. I figured this was likely from it sitting in storage for many years if not decades and that if the drive could be un-seized it would run again. In this video I try to disassemble the model and do just that"

"Disgusting Dual-Pancake Locomotive from eBay - Will it Run I was browsing eBay and I found an old project locomotive someone had clearly put some effort into. It didn't appear to be in great shape so not many people showed up to the auction and I was able to get the loco for under $10. After unboxing it it was clear just how many changes had been made to the loco. It seems like someone combine two mid 80s pancake drives to up the pulling capacity. The wiring was a mess and one of the motors wasn't able to get power anymore. This is far from the most tricky repair I've done but it did need"

"Fixing Bachmann's Worst Locomotive - Daylight Chessie System In [----] Bachmann released a Southern Pacific DaylightGS4 based on a design its parent company Kadar had been producing for Lionel just a few years earlier.

Bachmann ended up making a fictional Chessie System variation Daylight in [----] as part of their line up and this shared the exact same drive system as the regular one."

"This Bachmann Track Situation is Insane I've been developing a layout ideal for beginners in the hobby. I figured that modifying an existing set would be best so I went to work on the over under set from Bachmann. I loaded the specifications into rail modeller pro and soon discovered that the track work didn't line up. After reading some reviews I noticed others were pointing out that there appeared to be more parts in the box artwork than what's actually included inside. More over some beams would not line up correctly. I decided to order up the set to see if it would line up differently in"

"Vintage HO Train Collection Unboxing & Test This box from Windsor Ontario arrived recently and I've been looking forward to opening it. Inside was a collection of vintage HO scale model trains. I tested the locomotive and it started first try. I have no idea who sent this stuff or it's history but in any case it was super generous so to whoever sent it thank you"

"Train Show - Looking for Vintage Locomotives & Trains - Found [--] F40PHs Every January the Aylmer train show rolls around and this year was one I'm glad I didn't miss. There were many great vendors and displays available and I got some good deals. Although I showed up on the second day of the show everything was fully stocked as a snowstorm had held people back until the next day this meant I also met several subscribers for the first time in person which was a nice experience I ended up buying several HO scale locomotives and a few buildings which should all go towards future projects"

"I found these 1950s Locomotives Inside an Antique Store - Will Any Start Every year when I head on down to Maine I usually like to check out some of the antique stores located along route one. Most of these places have some model trains dating back over the years in various condition. This trip was no exception as I found many Lionel and American flyer trains mostly from the 1950s. I ended up purchasing a couple of modern era Santa Fe units as well as a postwar GG1. The two Santa Fe locomotives seemed to run fine but the GG1 is gonna need some work before it can ride the rails again"

"HO Scale Trains Vs. Real Snow It's been five years since the last time I set up an outdoor layout for running trains in the snow. This year I set up the largest loop of track I ever have stretching over a 8" by 50" square foot area. This included over 118" feet of track all soldered together. The weather conditions took a while in order to get the right amount of snow for an HO scale snow plow. This meant the tracks were cleared several times throughout the winter making some nice mountain landscapes for the trains to run around. Finally the right day arrived to let the locomotives clear the"

"MEGA Vintage Lot of British Train Cars from eBay - How Will They Roll Last year I purchased a huge lot of British locomotives from eBay and have since been restoring them however I don't have much in the way of rolling stock for them to pull so I've been on the lookout for some. I stumbled across this massive lot of over [--] different pieces of rolling stock on eBay and had my heart set on winning the auction. I placed a solid bid and it worked out. Today I finally get to open the box and see what exactly I purchased"

"Fixing the Stupidest HO Santa Fe Locomotive Ever Made Back in November [----] I had a pile of scrap parts I was about to throw away when I got the idea to connect the shells and make a "Super Santa Fe" locomotive out of them. The project was overall successful however there was one main flaw being that it could only go backwards or forwards on the layout and not through any curves. Today I try to fix this by adding an AHM drive and some other modified parts in order to turn this into a much more useful ho locomotive"

"Trying to Fix a HO Steam Locomotive that Hasn't Run in Years - Christmas Display Contest Around nine months ago I was at the OVAR train show giving away stuff with my friend Liam. He had purchased this Mehano 2-8-2 steam locomotive a while before then and unfortunately it never ran. He tried to give it away but there were no takers so I decided to bring it home and see what I could do. This ended up being a good choice as it's time to start my annual Christmas display contest and I needed a locomotive for it. In an effort to try and get it running again I discovered it actually contained a"

"HO Scale Unstoppable Locomotive Unboxing - AWVR [----] Last March I did a video where I unboxed two AC4400 locomotives from the [----] movie unstoppable. Ever since then I've been on the search for the famous SD40-2 No. [----]. Unbeknownst to me Norman Corey had been working on a model of the locomotive to send to me crafted from a run down AHM diesel. It arrived in the mail around a week ago along with some extra parts for a future project. The craftsmanship on this model is excellent and I decided to make a parody of the movie's ending with it for nostalgia's sake"
