    This channel is great! I love seeing massive collections of old and new locomotives, but older ones are more affordable. I have only 30 engines total, but 15 are mostly new really nice Kato GE 4400 HP units (N scale). Got about 230 rail cars, many types.

    It's fixed! I went to Lansing train show. After few hours of looking. At the very end of the show. I came across a Revell sw7. Didn't recognize it at first. Cuz the Union paint scheme. Flipped it over and there it was. So with the number plate included. Did my duty by repairing a significant part of the railroad past. Almost 65 yr old train back in perfect running order. With the awesome purple paint from that atlantic Coast line color cruising the tracks once again with no clicking!

    Always inspect and clean the wheels on any used locos you pick up at train shows. 99% of the time that will cure the problem.

    I bought a can of Deoxit electrical contact cleaner to use on older stereo equipment. Been meaning to try it out on a couple of dodgy locomotives.

    Nice haul! At least you know how to and most likely can fix the ones that have issues. I bought a Bachmann Spectrum Doodlebug at a train show over the weekend and though it looked pristine, it did not run at all 🤦🏼‍♂️ i have a friend that can hopefully fix it though. It was my first train purchase dud since everything i have bought in the past has worked. 👍🏻

    If you get the steamer up and running looks like you've got the motive power for depending on point of reference either the train from How The West Was Won or it's more recent and famous incarnation from Back To The Future 3

    4:50, i have this one, try lubing everything to as little as the motor bearings (mine made the same noise and that was the solution) and shake the dust off. They usually don't require much.

    Catching up on your videos, Harrison. Maine Central was a great buy - - Love their pine tree logo on the nose. Thought for sure that CN 🦈 Nose would work, oh well, one for a fix it video. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to check out the n scale locos after the Lionel video. Nice job on the signal tower.👍👍👍

      AHM. Back when my folks thought my little brother might like trains as much as his older brother he got that set for Christmas and it eventually ended up with me some time later.
      Want to say IIRC it came with a blue B&M 40' boxcar, a silver Southern open hopper, IC centerflow covered hopper and the standard offset cupola caboose with the molded markers in B&O

    one thing I suggest your transformers way too weak for those older engines you need to get something even stronger I have learned that can power 5 engines at Aiko and a third and a bachmann all at once and they can run in the same speed this track you have to work at former known to man don't you know Tycho is a piece of junk yeah go for the good brand

    nothing wrong that bright yellow engine is this the wheels are dirty and they need a wheel grinding all you need to do it take a screwdriver scratch away that dirt off of wheels or running around the track for a very long time to start running fast and jumped off the rails if you don't want to jump off a real slow down that's how you clean the wheels that simpleyou shouldn't go through all this trouble saying I'll talk to the manufacturer know that's dumb idea that they won't fix it for you ten line I have tons of Penn line bling Bowser things I don't think genetic factorLionel ho market so after an atlas Tyco you-name-it he could repair it if it doesn't have all these to buy electronics in it he can repair it electronics idcc garbageDCC is a piece of poop it doesn't belong anywhere but the and the trash
