Loved this video. I have an all original Hornby Flying Scotsman that my father purchased for me around 1980. It is in absolutely perfect shape. I added engineer and fireman figures at the time. It is one of my prized possessions.
just remember, it took 11 years to overhaul the real thing last time, so by comparrison your 50 min was a blink of a eye. is it a quarting issue, or is there a bent axle?
haha I know right - what were they messing about at?! My guess would be the plastic insulator on one or more of the driving wheels has perished and put the wheel out of quarter and gauge... a service was enough to get it running again temporarily (phew), but it's not running properly any more sadly :( Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains the Real Flying Scotsman was a victim of Bureaucratic Incompetence, and hidden problem syndrome. the new boiler they got turned out to not fit, the people doing the restoration hadn't a clue what in the holy mary Mother of Joseph what they were actually doing, and, after figuring out the boiler had given up the ghost, they fixed the boiler only to further discover even MORE serious problems than first thought - namely, the frames were, to put it nicely, buggered. so yeah, basically chop the bad frames off, fit new ones, and refurbished the boiler so it'd now fit, plus refitting the double chimney and raising the BP up again.
@@SamsTrains perhaps you could try to fix that little bit one day? Would be pretty interesting and a good way to spend time when you have nothing to do
The fact that the scrap man was in the thumbnail made me really think the loco was done for. My jaw literally dropped when the lass (bc technically Fliyng Scotsman is a female) ran forward
@@wacky_duck1095 it was named after the service it ran, you took the flying scotsman line to Scotland, later on the train they used adopted the name Did you see it in its 'international women's day' livery in march 2020?
Thank you so much! I have had a lot of offers for that- but I already have enough scrappers for a second series next year, all being well! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
It has not been restored given the eBay description for it : It's been over 6 months since the episode was filmed, and the performance has unfortunately gone downhill since then. It now runs backwards okay, but just jams up running forwards. Suspected serious wear & tear on the wheelset. While it does technically run, sold as a non-runner.
Excellent. My father bought me one of these when I was a keen young rail enthusiast. Eventually, over time, he also bought four awful teak effect coaches. The detail might have been pretty grim, but to me, it was the finest thing I had on the layout! Funny, the things we remember. My father was a telephone engineer, based in various telephone exchanges. He used to bring home wire, small lamps and bits and pieces of scrap switchgear etc. I used to think he had probably "borrowed" it. Six years ago, my father passed away and when going through all the paperwork (he kept everything), I found receipts for all the things he had brought home for the layout. All paid for and above board..... Thanks for provoking some wonderful memories Sam. Nige
'When little things look good, it can give the whole model a lift.' Darn right. When I got my first brand-new car, I was given some neat advice -- if you don't have time to wash the whole car, just wash the hub-caps. That really worked like a charm.
This was super relaxing to watch while I worked on an art project! (which is coincidentally drawing The Flying Scotsman). Can’t wait to watch more in future!
My 1972 Hornby Flying Scottsman is the pride of my collection. I was able to pinpoint the year due to being still in box. Also, yours is shiney, mine isn't, I'm guessing they go that way due to exposure. I actually recently performed a DCC conversion on it.
Great series, wouldn’t need the “timing” stuff, nevertheless I love to rebuild locos myself .. great job done here. You may use a glasfibre cleaning pencil as well. Works great to clean small stuff instead of your brute force method using the Dremel..
Another great video Sam! I wonder if a little "running in" in reverse might be what helped it to go forwards. I noticed that it started slow in forward then sped up a bit. Well done. It is definitely more exciting when it seems to be headed for scrap but you saved it. Hurrah!
i'm so glad that flying scotsman was safe in the because of it's performance of going forward and now she can ride the rails again well done sir keep up the good work love your videos 🙂
Could list to many reasons. Don’t scrap it don’t sell it don’t throw it away don’t put it in the attic forever don’t throw it in a box and never find that box again don’t get rid of it the memories that come with it are far more valuable you may not realize it yet but soon you will in a few years..
Greetings from America! What a great series sam. And way to show how some good old fashioned elbow grease can go a long way. Just throwing out an idea for you, I know my family and I would love to see a little narrow gauge content. I would love to see your perspective on those industrial little locos whether it be 009 or 16mm scale. Anyway, love the channel, and keep up the good work, steam on!
I have this model the 1970s Triang Hornby flying Scotsman first it was my grandfathers then my dad's then I got it for my 14 th bithday and I love and it still in good condition and I love that glow fire 🚂
Well done Sam. I am glad that you managed to save an oldie but a goldie. Maybe it will just need a little more TLC and a gentle run. A couple of runs round the block. I think you might be a genuine guru . Happy days.
would you be able to tell me where you got your remagnetiser? i am limited to replacing magnets, but new alternatives look out of place and often don't fit quite right...
I really enjoy this series of videos. I have recently come into possession of a Bachmann 2.8.0 which is in dire need of a service which is not the main issue. That issue is the valve gear. One of the valve gear rods come adrift with the rivet holding two moving rods together falling out. That cannot be fixed with superglue. It is very frustrating trying to nut out a way to connect the two rods that allows them to move as intended..
cutting out an inside curve, like the bottom of the nameplate is the hard way to do it. a scalpel or fresh craftknifeis much easier using a large eraser to hold down the paper and of course always cutting away from your hand is important for safety. keep up the good work
Hi Sam, Where did you get the buffer design for the 3D printer from? It would have been much easier to cut out the name plates with a sharp hobby knife, and more accurate. The valve gear is still quite rusty all you did was buff the small darkest/most obvious part... there is still a lot of surface rust on all of the valve gear as seen in your video at 16:22
The first driver axle may need to be re-quartered judging by the bouncing and binding. Great video, Salvage or Scrap is a great series, I would love to see you fix a Mantua steam loco.
I actually restored one of those recently! Mine was in much better shape to begin with asthetically but the mechanism was a ringfield tender drive model and it was shot. Had to get new springs and brushes and do a lot of cleaning. Good old ringfield motors! It still twitches once in a while so it's not a perfect runner but it's pretty close for what it is.
@@SamsTrains It really is. Always loved the Flying Scotsman. Used your video on repairing a ringfield motor to help me through it too! Thanks for making these videos! ^..~
Oh! been meaning to ask - at 8:40, what is that device you're using, and do you have any recommendations for affordable brands, etc for it? I've been looking for one with a saw attachment to do some custom loco body alterations. Have an old 1970s one but it's completely dead so I need to find a new one.
It's a Draper rotary tool - the best brand is Dremel, but they're a bit more expensive! Mine is a bit more cumbersome, but it was very cheap and hasn't let me down yet! It's a wire wheel attachment! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
15:21 Maybe when you do that transition with the Scrapman, you could probably do an electric buzzing sound when its eyes blink on and off rather than that cartoon blinking sound.
Would love to see a video about how you fix wheel wobble and quatering. I have issues of wobble on Many locomotives, and a quatering issue on a an LMS engine, possibly a princess class, where I had to remove the wheel due to a damaged plastic lug. (I actually installed a plastic washer to fix it)
I use a permanent marker pen to touch up the old triang carriage couplings as they are painted metal on some wagons and carriages. Safe to say it makes them look good but to make them look better, but I would have to borrow some of the primer and black paint we use on the carriages at the Severn Valley Railway, as it would really make them look good
Nice save. I do a lot of these types of repairs as well. Haven't tackled a Hornby yet. I do have a Flying Scotsman but it works perfectly and is in good cosmetic shape so it wouldn't be a good candidate for this type of repair. Most of my repairs have been Bachmann, Life-Like, and Atlas diesels.
Great video as always. But can I just ask....... At the beginning when the information is put up about the loco, how long has there been an A3 locomotive built and ran by the GWR???
Ooh interesting - are they Dublo ones with metal wheels? If so those are designed for 3 rail and will short out a 2 rail setup! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Did you sort the driving issue? It did look like a quartering issue as the front driving axle did seem to be the culprit. Looking at the Connecting rods from the middle axle to the front it seemed as if the front one dipped down which would indicate a quartering issue. Did the firebox glow work?
excellent video there sam ! and these was actually quite the sit on edge moment iam telling you, the flying scottsman was so close to being eaten by the scrap man by just the buffers, but it manage to pull thru, like you said it may not be the greatest runner, but it is quite the soldier making it thru, and hey at least the scrap man got some buffers to snack on, so its a win win. i really hope you do a season 2 of salvage or scrap, it would be interesting to see some techniques and how to whilst a timer goes of and the answer to the question, will it be scrap or will it be salvaged ? anyway i hope to see another video soon cya later
haha thank you! Yeah I think this was the most tense episode for me too, lol! I'm amazed it worked at the end - there's something seriously wrong with it, but somehow it managed to work at the end! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

It reminded me James May rebuilding and renewing his 1970s Flying Scotsman.
Re-magnetising the motor is vital (and oddly fun).
Don’t forget his train would also go from Barnstaple to Bideford with “realistic” chuffing sound
Ahh I loved that programme - such a good episode!! :D

What was scrap man originally? Before loving to collect the rotting bodies of a poor locomotive.
Impressive performance. The drivetrain problem solving itself was something unexpected. Great job you have done, I'm still in for your next issue !

Use a black Sharpie pen for touch ups like that. It's permanent, and dries in seconds.
I use a permanent marker pen to touch up the old triang carriage couplings as they are painted metal on some wagons and carriages. Safe to say it makes them look good but to make them look better, but I would have to borrow some of the primer and black paint we use on the carriages at the Severn Valley Railway, as it would really make them look good

Nice save. I do a lot of these types of repairs as well. Haven't tackled a Hornby yet. I do have a Flying Scotsman but it works perfectly and is in good cosmetic shape so it wouldn't be a good candidate for this type of repair. Most of my repairs have been Bachmann, Life-Like, and Atlas diesels.
So, I have a Flying Scotsman like that one, but a bit more modern, and I'm missing the back coupler for the tender. Where can I find a replacement?
Great video as always. But can I just ask....... At the beginning when the information is put up about the loco, how long has there been an A3 locomotive built and ran by the GWR???
Do you just bodge it then set a time limit post project (with just enough time) to create some drama for UA-cam? 😬🤣
Nope - the time limits are all set before hand! I need to be less generous with the times for the next series though!
