Did Someone Drop My Train? - PS3 Upgraded PRR G5s
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Welcome back to the train room for another review. In this video I’ll be explaining my findings while upgrading this beautiful MTH (originally PS2 5V) locomotive to PS3.
My conclusion is that this appeared to have been dropped on the nose or on the front of the model damaging detailed parts. The biggest issue was the bent rear wheel set that disabled the engine entirely.
Locomotive was repaired utilizing small hand / model tools. The engine still runs rough, but is starting to smooth out with further operation.
Hope you enjoyed this review style video,
Happy Railroading!
Congratulationa on your marriage Nick! All the best to you and your bride and many, many years of happiness together!
That's some outstanding work you did on the G5, and I love the look of FOUR classification lights! If the PRR didn't use a configuration like that they should have!
Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching. Funny story about the lights, I later googled the PRR marker light colors and they use to do some goofy schemes. Green up top , red / yellow about the plow with the same lamp but different lenses. Who knew?! lol
@@NixCrossing I didn't know that either! Thanks!
GREAT job with the lighting and repairs. It looks great. Happy Railroading.
You gained some valuable experience repairing that locomotive, too bad the condition of the engine was not accurate.
Thanks for watching! Love the challenge as always.
I wish you had entered that in my "Save the junk challenge" since it is such a good save. It is a nice looking engine as well. Your cinematographic skills have really improved as well. Great video
That would have been cool. Thanks so much!
Nice job Nick! You really brought this locomotive back to life - Ryan
Thanks so much! 🚂💨
Awesome smoker and looks amazing!
Thanks so much! 🚂💨
Nice video, Nick. Congratulations on the nuptials. That is a cool locomotive. Too bad that it came in such bad shape, especially since they stated that it was working. They probably put some power to it and the wheels moved a bit and that was it. I've read some good things about Trainz, but I've read some real horror stories, also. The least that they should do is send you a new wheel and reimburse you for the bell. Either way, a fine review. It is nice to see it run, especially with those old-style heavyweight passenger cars. An excellent video, as always. Keep 'em coming.
Great video and great execution. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece.
Thanks so much!
Nice review of this PRR G5 steam locomotive by MTH! Thats pretty sad that the wheel was bent though.
Great job giving a locomotive new life! It’s got to be more gratifying and fun for you when running it.
Thanks for watching! Definitely does. I enjoy taking these apart and learning how they all work anyways. Each piece becomes its own puzzle
I've noticed that place with a "z" doesn't really check their stuff even though they say they do. Awesome review sir!
It seems to be a common occurrence… I had a PS1 GP7 arrive DOA because they never changed the white battery… how can you test it and say it runs if the battery is 25 years old and is dead?!
Congratulations!! Awesome Job getting her back running again. Looks Great! 👍👍🔥
Thank you so much! She turned out to be a fantastic runner
Great video Nick! Nice restoration. They should give you some credit! Out here on Long Island Railroad Musium they G5 #39 in LI livery its out in Riverhead! Be Well
Thanks for the info and for watching 🚂💨
Great job on your layout
Thanks so much!
Congrats Are In order you’ll Be Ok one way or Another Stay Healthy My Friend.
Thanks so much for watching! Very true, learned a lot from this upgrade
You did a great job saving that engine I received a similar non running engine I was able to save and turn it into a real beauty SD40-2 by the way great history on that G5S
Thank you so much! I think these revivals are a learning process and are rewarding (if they work in the end) lol
I was surfing on trainz about a year ago and came across what was advertised as a 2 pack of those scale die-cast PUP trailer flat cars for a really nice price. Turns out when I got it there was only 1 car with the 2 pack box and I thought I screwed up. Like maybe I didn’t read the listing thoroughly or look at the pics closely.
I went back and reread the description and took another look at the pictures, and no, I was correct. I got into contact with Trainz and they at least made it right by refunding me 50%. I know they sell a large volume but they need to be better with their listings.
I think the turn over and volume is so high , they really don’t check everything as they should. I’ve also noticed a change on where things ship from like consignment so to say. Not sure what is going on with the engine department. I haven’t had any issues thus far with rolling stock
You should let Trainz know what happended . They should send you a new wheel.
Awesome nick,,,,,were in the heck do you get those micro mini 18 volt led"s from ,,,,,thank you
Hey thanks for watching! Search “Evemodel” on Amazon.com and you’ll see all sorts of LEDs. The markers are wired in parallel with the headlight leads which are 5-8VDC but if you use AC , do not crank more than 16VAC
@@NixCrossing thanks nick
Hey nick does Norfolk southern uses hairpin railroad spikes
I hope you got a partial refund on the engine since it didn’t meet the description.
Not this time around, but I enjoyed fixing up this loco.
@@NixCrossing i think you did a great job on all repares. looks and runs good
@@rickeyhogan1117 thank you so much! 😊
