    Sometimes I think that there is very little sadder than an abandoned toy; something that made a child happy many years ago, and is now aged and lost, played with by no one. You do good work.

    To remedy some of the rough running, I reccomend setting one side of the driving wheels at 90 degrees to the other side. This is called "quartering" and it balances out the weight in the wheel

    Christmas 1930 (or something) Boxing Day, a child, perhaps waiting for years on end for his most wanted present. A steam locomotive and his favourite too! He’s playing with it in front of the fire place day after day, weeks, months but slowly but surely the little train moved from the boys room to the attic where it waited to make place for other forgotten toys and moved to a Misty and water leaking shed were it’s rest till it was found again and restored in it’s old sheen colours and it runs till it’s spring runs to an end and it was put in a closet were everybody could enjoy it’s beauty. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but my youth came along with this video 🥲 how can I thank you for sharing this beautiful video with me 👍👍❤️

    Outstanding video, I work on 1940s and 50s model trains and have a few of the old ones. But I like to gut the windup which is usually broken, restore the sheet metal then adapt a 50s electric motor chassis so i can run it on my layout. I one cast metal body that must weight 2 or 3 pounds. Excellent video and technique, you are an artist is the restoration process. Thank You so much for sharing. Dennis in Virginia

In random order: great workmanship, relaxed atmosphere without shock effects so typical of our days, great recording, the work soundscapes and the music you have chosen, just the love of old toys, the joy of doing something by yourself and not once more buying more things. I wish there was at least somebody alive who have actually made these toys decades ago. He/she should absolutely see your videos!

    It's probably been said before, but the only flaw in an otherwise perfect restoration is with the front driving wheels. They are out of quarter. If it were adjusted, the locomotive would run more smoothly around the track. I was very impressed with the wheel pulling gadget you manufactured, and with your ability to fashion new small parts. Very impressive.

    I love your restoration work.
    On the 1937 catalogue the same loco is not proposed but a non-aerodynamique one, Axle arrangement 240 (120 as we say in France) and is listed as "train mécanique numéro 7" with a battery in tender and a front light in the loco.
    The same loco as yours is on the 1940 catalogue as part of train n°6 "de luxe" with a front light on the loco and the tender could host a 4.5 V "batterie de lampe de poche". Pre-war markings are "Nord".
    This loco is also in the 1954 catalogue with train n° 6 "de Luxe" with a 4.5 V battery in the tender and the front light on the loco. The difference is post WW2, the loco was marked as SNCF with its logo on them on the - then added - smoke deflectors.
    So all the JEP locos I mentionned were De Luxe with a clock work motor and a provision to install a flat 4.5 V battery to light up the lamp screwed at the front of the loco. The same loco was also produced with an electric motor with a mechanical direction switch (transversally on top of the loco.
    To be noted that the cheaper locos (not the De Luxe version) were lithographed
    I cannot be more precise as I don't have all JEP catalogues.

    There's no way it could have been electric since the clockwork drive is present. The lamp socket is probably used to have a bulb under the chimney to heat oil to produce smoke.
    This model probably takes inspiration from the streamlined engines from PLM, wich were put under SNCF ownership after the war (SNCF dates from 1937). These were the only streamlined locos in France as far as I know. And these were (and the whole train) painted... blue!
    (Fantastic work by the way)

      Hi Damien thanks a lot for watching and commenting. I thought it may have had an electric motor before. Wow I would have like to have that smoke system 😳 Thanks for all these infos.. again😉

    When assembling a locomotive put the wheels 90 degrees apart so the front set doesn't try turning backwards, this is also done on real locomotives, still great work on making it run

    Great job with the restoration. There are tools and techniques to re-quarter the drive wheels so it doesn't jump around so much running. It is fiddly work to get perfect.
