    Why not use Kadee couplers?

      Because I ran out of those. I plan on replacing most of the horn hooks on my Athearn models with Kadees. Thanks for Watching! 🚂

    This video was entitled as a Restoration video. Exactly what was restored? All that was done was the cleaning of the wheels (good job) and the motor commutator. (So So job). The rest was adding the missing parts. That is not a resto job. That in my opinion wasn't even a decent tune up. Far to many items that needed attention were overlooked and not even considered. I do not say this to criticize you, but to say that you have an audience that is watching you for guidance and this wasn't a good look. Please learn proper tune up procedures before you attempt to do another restoration as you will become more familiar with disassembly, what to look for, adjust, repair or replace.

      Good to Know! I do agree that this was not my best work. Part of this comes from the fact that the locomotive that I mainly buy are not in the worst condition. I will look into what you have said and I will improve my content accordingly.
