Fantastic job....I have the same engine and tender that went under water years ago and I'm doing this complete breakdown and full rewire as we speak....ty for posting this and sharing....Jim

Thank you for the fine breakdown explanation of these iconic gems from the golden era of postwar Lionel streamlining. I just picked up a complete set of 5 cars, baggage, 2 pullman cars, vista dome and observation for $100. The lettering, aluminum, inserts and plastic parts are very nice. The steel truck assemblies have a fair amount of rust. I'm curious why you didn't paint the cleaned, but exposed steel portion of the truck assemblies? I think I would go for a gloss black, rust-oleum paint job, which has a rust inhibitor component in the paint. Otherwise, you run the risk of the rust returning. Just a thought, otherwise a fabulous job indeed. Cheers from Northern California.

I was very happy to find your channel. I just got home from a local train show with a 1946 726 Berkshire and wanted some confirmation of what I had and then some details on breaking it down, cleanup and repair and came across your video. Your video is extremely helpful. Thank you. I already have two 736 engines and have restored both but the 726 has a number of important differences. I'll update you on anything interesting that I find in the process. I have one question. I am very careful when cleaning the bodies of the tenders and engine shells but I have never done as good a job as you did in this video. Do you have another video of how you go about this or is there a quick description of what you do that you can provide. Thanks

What is the solution you soak the parts in?

Wow those shells are pristine! Great tutorial

Did you use Armor All on the tender4 shell?

Thanks for the detailed dissembly,very helpful.

So explain why you don't use spray on electrical contact cleaner on the brush holder or for that matter anywhere at all.

Cool tie tongs on the wall

Eli, can’t thank you enough for all the great videos you have done on restoring these trains. I have been working on my own trains, learning the hard way for about 4 years now but always getting them running eventually. I can’t tell you how many great tips I have gotten from your videos, wish I had found them sooner! I would never have believed how good the minerals spirits work, even on rust (with scrubbing of course)! Thanks for taking the time to do these videos and share with us, take care and God Bless.

I shut this off because of the ghastly music!

So mine sounds about this good but then when I put the body on it doesn't.

It may not be the most practical track cleaner, but it is really neat. I got one too and I keep it on a siding on my layout.

Well Done !!

I have a question how do you wire a 151 semaphore to a o 27 gauge switch because I would like some realism on my layout

Amazing revival. I didn’t know you could take the bottom plate off to get access to the wheels and axels. I assume thats only for the 726 atomic motor variation.

The trick to buffing aluminum yes you can wipe it off but you need a little bit of heat you have to rub the area with a clean dry microfiber towel to create Heat and she will shine like a diamond

I thought that white covering like that was off gassing from the plastic I've always taken a hair dryer I used it on heat and it will disappear and then you go over it with a light coating of WD-40 and it will never come back

can Come again!

C&O 614 Replaced RDG 2101! until! the Making of C&O 611! (Original!)

I happen to own the same tender, wish I had the knowledge to make mine new again (deceased grandfather would be proud). Thank you for your video sir.

It looked like the smoker blew out some smoke rings! 😎 Only skilled smokers could do that! 😉

Excellent restoration work as usual !

As always , your professional work , tools, and know-how make a very interesting video!!

Great job of restoration and excellent lubricating ! But why, o why do tinplaters always run their trains as if they are trying ti win a race? A slightly more moderate speed would allow for better observation.

I've seen that track before, and wondered what it is used for!

I feel like you really really like FMs

Say, I didn't hear what you soaked the whistle components in? 😮

who in there right mind would clean oil soak brushes? when two bucks buy new ones

Awesome job 😊

Awesome job !!! Thanks

Nice job on the video! I see that there is 6 ball bearings is that correct? Mine has 10. Is there an easy way to take off the base plate I need to replace a slide shoe. Thanks the GG1's are great !!!

Glad you see this video, welcome back!

Do you know of a resource for replacement chrome running boards?

Thank you for showing the Mother's Aluminum polish and how to apply it. My 2500 cars look brand new!

I can smell the smoke from here.

Hey Eli, saw the alert in OGR Forum about this video. Great job and you have informed me about dealing with this issue. Thank you very much and keep up the great job you do with all your videos!!! God Bless!!

Glad to have found this video. If the R C tracks are wired this way the remote power system is only controlling the unload and uncouple functions and not the track power needed to have the engine continue across this tack without cycling the e unit..., correct?

Make sure you ventilate well with that stuff and a wide-mouth container holding it.

I would’ve never tried that if I didn’t see you do it. Great tip Eli! Nice to see you are posting videos again my friend. 👍 Frank

What a great video. How did you get the wheels so shiny the look brand new.

Great video and channel! I found your UA-cam channel at OGR forums by accident! Glad I did, and just subscribed to your channel tonight! Thanks again for sharing your vast knowledge of Lionel Postwar! Paul

I really want one of these locomotives.. i just got done reastoring a 226e in similar condition. if not worse. Now its running like a champ

great video and layout. I believe this is what I was looking for to use on my barrel loader without using track voltage. with my zw should be able to the variable voltage settings. it's tedious work but worth the effort. and I liked you music also it makes working better IMHO.

My similar switcher, I noticed the pickups sparking and noticed the roller were worn to the point where their frame is touching the track. Can the rollers be replaced?

The music is way too annoying!

With this wiring configuration, I’m guessing you have to use fiber pins and also lock the e-unit in forward? Nice video Ely. Not as scary as photos you’ve posted of the controllers parts in pieces.

Great video. I have a 2224W that won't whistle properly. Blows plenty of air. Your video gave me some ideas.

Title does not match video.

Great video ! My turn is coming. Just bought a 2332 for myself for Christmas.
