Non-Working Athearn SDP40 Gets a Facelift Inside and Out!

- I bought this Athearn locomotive from Facebook Marketplace with the understanding that it wasn't working again. Since this had a motor, in my book the only non-working locomotives were dummy units.
I got this girl running again, properly, and gave her shell a nice new paint job!

Way to go Ean, there is no " dead" athearn other then a dummy ! 😊
Thanks Armand, much appreciated!
Best little vintage engines money can buy, I luv em! Thank You
There's nothing not to love about Blue Box Athearns!
Hello Ian, Blue Box SDP-40 in New Haven always worth the effort., have fun!!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for the no nonsense, informative videos.
You're very welcome!
I have brass flywheels and silver motors on many of my athearns
Curious with mixing colors, don't you think?
@@masticshortline Not sure if someone else did it or not, I bought them used.
You are so talented to get these trains with a life and a story to move again... wouldnt you love to know their history and who got joy from them in their past lives
It's worth a thought, but most of what I've repaired have no backstory.
4 passenger cars is pretty good? Shirley(surely)😊 she can pull more? 5 or 6 more would be good!? 😮
I tested the locomotive with what was readily available, but I'm pretty sure she can pull more. And don't call me Shirley, LoL!
As soon as you pulled the shell off noticed motor was in backwards
I took a look at the playback; I'd hate to disagree, but everything including the motor was correctly oriented. Perhaps you were referring to another locomotive I serviced?
@@masticshortline Maybe they made them differently through the years I mentioned that because all my blue box SD-40s have commutator facing the back. Did like your fantasy heritage paint job.
