    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?

      or maybe bearing issue or bent axle or warped wheel?

      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 :(

      @@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.

      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

    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..

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

      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!

      Or replace with plastic wheels

    I realized that when you began showing the model in 1:52 you said 'GWR' instead of 'LNER'.

    Even if the model does not run it looks great. Down the road you may be able to get it to run. I sure would not get rid of it.

    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

    when you go over the specks of the model, you call it a GWR A3 instead of an LNER A3. It doesn't change the fact that you did an amazing job!
