Excellent presentation! I used the disassembly process of your Fleischmann motor as my guide to taking apart a 1950s era Fleischmann 4-6-2 UP steamer. It was not easy but now restored and moving about pulling cars. Thank you.
Fleischman models are quite robust and run like a Swiss watch when maintained properly (honestly they're pretty easy on maintenance though). The ones I have run very nicely and look extremely good for their age, much better than many contemporary US models.
Fleischmann makes some pretty good stuff. I've only had one that I would even consider remotely a dud, and that's just because a screw hole stripped on it. Otherwise, they are fantastic engines, and they run and look great considering (the ones I have, at least) are about 60 years old or older.
We have the full train set of this but I think it has water damage because there’s some corrosion on the outside and the box is warped and the tracks are rusted
addition; AC motor shields at Fleischmann have no zeroing (N PE) between ground and terminal N at AC motor shields at Fleischmann even if AC motor shields at Fleischmann consists of Stall, or Pentax with conductive lines connected between PE at terminal N no zeroing (N PE) (with a Fleischmann DC motor) between PE at the terminal N have a zeroing (N PE) that was only installed for analog operation (before MFZ). Do the conductive lines between the PE (earth) and terminal N be separated in order to cancel the zeroing (N PE) because of the decoder ZL. P N must be separated from the St. P N on the motor shields, since the speed of the motor (< more or less and . cannot be regulated by the decoder) with the AC motor shields at Fleischmann are the clamps St. P N are isolated from ground (PE) (AC motor shields at Fleischmann) (Stall or Pentax) at (DC motor shields at Fleischmann) (Stall or Pentax) this is isolated from ground (PE) not because the ground (PE) was used as a supply line (before MFZ). Therefore there were 2 different motor shields for AC models or DC models for analog operation. At MFZ operation, the AC motor shields were installed at Fleischmann as they were used for AC models. AC motor shields at Fleischmann for the years of construction 1952-1957 (stall or Pentax) (without zeroing N PE) do not exist as far as I know.
Je l'ai eu en 1972 il en restait quelques unes sur le marché suisse indestructible puis j'ai vu la Fleischmann un peu plus grosse mais surtout mieux détaillée de sa caisse en plastique et toutes les rembarres rapportées alors j'ai trahi ....adieu Marklin je t'ai vendue pour acheter ta cousine de Nuremberg a courant continu mais qui fut même proposée en alternatif à l'époque de sa sortie une petite Serie que des Marklinistes ont pu s'offrir
I'd check to make sure all of the wheels with electrical pickup are clean and have a good connection to the motor. If it's wobbling then it could be an out of round wheel or traction tire.

I’m glad the video helped for getting your 4-6-2 working!
Wow, that thing is built like a tank!
Sounds like one too!
Nice work. I've always been a fan of vintage Fleischmann.
Excellent to see more of your work, even better that we got two videos in a week! Thanks again for sharing and please keep it up.
Thanks! I have a lot of projects going on, so I’m planning on doing videos more frequently.

Started nicely with train load there at last part of video.
Nice diecast electric locomotive cool. Diecast is always better than plastic.

Nice job man
Not too shabby for 𝑠𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑦 years old, and it's probably good for another seventy.👍👌😁
The powertruck is so Lionel like, because both Lionel and Fleischmann looked at Märklin for Inspiration.
I subbed, good luck budd!
I'd like to see more hobby town of Boston trains.
I do have one project involving a Hobbytown chassis. Not sure when it’ll be done, but it’s another one I’ll have up eventually!
Wow, I love me some foreign power!
that massive switch, how prototypical.

Check out those monstrous flanges....
It's the NEM way! Even the modern EU trains still have the "pizza cutters" for some reason.
Days Soge to this Lolch them together from the year 1952
Nice work i have the same fleischmann ,the problem is the contact onto the wheel the screw cannot hold the contact .
The electrical pickup on this one wasn't that great, so I'm going to add some wipers to mine to improve that. It should make a big difference!
Hi. Any idea why a loko like this would run jerkily after conversion, please? Thanks
