Hello Simon, of course that's not nice with the torn cables. But your video is very interesting, how the loco is opened and what the electrics and the drive look like. Thank you for this detailed information, which you presented excellently in the video. The solution with the current pickup via the LGB current pickup is ingenious.👍👍 I hope you enjoy this great diesel locomotive. Greetings Wolfgang
Hello Wolfgang. I am glad you found it interesting. Doing work like this can make somebody feel nervous, so if I show my experience I hope it will help other people feel more comfortable to do it themselves. I have watched others and it did help me. Thanks very much. All the best. Simon.
Glad to see you finally got it running! Your first video of this little switcher inspired me to get one. It is quickly becoming my favorite. Looking forward to seeing your other videos on this locomotive.
Oh nice! I can definitely class myself as an "infuencer" 😂. I didn't expect to like a diesel so much, but I do love mine. It's a really cute little locomotive. Fixing windows video hopefully up within the week 🤞 Thank you!
6:42 - If you are going to visit Utah, are you planning a meetup with Dale and Karyn at Toyman Television? Fellow F Scale modelers. If so, that would be a great video for you both. 🙂If not planning it... I can only hope you do try to organize it, since it would be a great video for you both, and all us viewers as well. 🙂
@@ThatBIGTRAINGuy Understand your tight schedule. And if it does not happen... for whatever reason. Such is life.... No problem. But, I can only hope all the stars are in alignment that week, so it may happen. Because...it would be a cross Atlantic level of cool that would be ... well... Amazing. 🙂
As soon as I can, I'll post a video of mine running after my modifications. It runs so smoothly, it will actually run slower than typical N-Scale locomotive.
Three Iron Maiden mugs!! Good fix Simon. Awesome engine.
Haha! Well spotted.
Cheers Terry!
Bravo!!! Success ❤. 50 lives again. Not a diesel fan. In general. But exceptions: F units. Except FP45. E units. And # 50. Oh, and I guess RDCs.
And turbines. All. But they ain’t diesels really. More like dragons on tracks.
@@ToyManTelevision I didn't expect to collect any diesels at all,... but I'm surprised how fond I am of this little guy 🥰
Turned out great, stoked for your trip this summer!
Thanks!
Yeah, I'm stoked too 😁
nicely done Simon, glad you got it running, taking apart Accucraft locomotives is an extremely fiddly process.
If they just used Phillips/cross head screws instead of the hex bolt style, it would be so much easier.
Thank you!
Great job on the repair and the video, keep them coming.
Thank you.
Lots to come!
Well done ! Your vacation should be a great adventure 👍
Thank you!
Yeah, I can't wait.
A fiddly job even in that scale but the jobs a good un and shes running well.
Oh and good advice about pulling out quick😉
Haha! Yep. If it gets hot, pull out 🤣
Excellent, looks like a good runner
Yeah it runs nicely. Thank you!

Good stuff a whole lotta patience and innovation to get those pickups in place ..impressive !! Cheers
Thanks very much!
Great repair! Running great.
Thank you! 🌳
Nice solution to a strange problem, but I'm still wondering who it could have run before you bought it. Very relaxing to watch, great video!
Yes, a little strange but I'm glad I got it fixed.
Thank you!
Good job man
Thanks very much.
Great job ... Nice locomotive
Thank you.
Yeah I've grown quite fond of it. 😊

Well, we are in contact. My schedule is very tight though: Landing at 7pm and driving to Ely, Nevada the next day. But,... you never know 😉

@@SaintCoemgen "A cross Atlantic level of cool". Haha! It would indeed.
Well, keep fingers crossed 🤞🤞
Quarter the drivers and it will run much more smoothly. I'm guessing someone converted it to, or tried to, convert it to battery power.
Yep, they started and didn't finish.
As soon as I can, I'll post a video of mine running after my modifications. It runs so smoothly, it will actually run slower than typical N-Scale locomotive.
@@rdamurphy Oh wow! Nice! I'll look out for that.
Here you go!

@@rdamurphy Very smooth. Thanks!
you could have gone Battery you know, with Bluetooth...
Nah, I have no interest in batteries. That would have cost a fair bit more too.
Blunami also works with dc/dcc
