Testing Old Locomotives - Will They Run?

- I was sent these vintage ho scale locomotives around a week ago and today I finally got around to testing them. Most of them turned out to be runners but there were a few that are future projects. I would like to thank David Z to G scale for sending these locos as it was very generous of him to do so.

Well, Harrison, I forgot to let you know that the Baldwin 🦈 nose wires are not connected, and while your at it, give the motor a once over. The New Haven should have been a runner, maybe something got jarred loose in shipping. Of course, you'll work your magic and get her running - - it's a sharp locomotive. I peeked under the shell, and it has an interesting shaft drive system.
Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍
I read the beginning of your comment. Like how Harrison says well folks lol
That 0-4-0 is the cutest darn little thing.
Love the older/ vintage trains
Nice video I love watching your channel and these are nice locomotives
My dad had a Santa fe just like that same color and all. Great video
Really like that New Haven paint scheme
Woooot 10k subs man!! Congrats!!
SMT - The Rock Island originally had the black & red livery for freight locomotives. The Rock's original passenger locomotive livery was red & silver.
The Durango locomotive was probably my favorite paint scheme. Good to see that it ran.
Reminds me of a steak house.
Love the tyco gp 20 durango,have a couple of these myself in other paint sheme👍
I’m in shock, TYCO locomotives that run without a full overhaul! :)
The Conrail loco is an ALCO RS-11
I have one by rso
Nice looking locomotives SMT! Shame the Pennsy and New Haven units didn't run. Still very worthy of a restoration though! Glad to see the Amtrak GG1 worked, that thing is cool!
with the pennsy shark-nose, i think i saw the problem. from the video it looked liked the pick-up wheels were on the same side, so if that's the case, i'm hoping it a great runner when it's fixed.
4:00 you can see the broken wire hanging out your predections where right!
the durango engine has a floodlight caboose
Corn rolls are cool
Beautiful locomotives SMT! my favorite was the Conrail GP7!
Nolan Gahlbeck it’s not i looked it up and RS11s look different
@@TrainsofChicagoland it's a alco rs11
Nice locomotives :)
Didn't know TYCO did the Sharknose in Pennsy. I have Rock Island, Burlington Northern and Midnight Special, plus one that someone custom painted.
Might also be Model Power as I seem to recall they did a Shark as well and that PRR livery rings a bell as an MP offered scheme.
Nice vid SMT 😁
I like the rso
I have a friend who is working on a durango silverton layout because he went there and rode the train. HO scale
Of course they will work its SMT where there's a will there's a way Eh lol. At SMT Mainline service center it may run or it may need some help but most likely they will be runners. :) that new haven caught my eye. Classic FL9. I got mine all painted and decals done on my steamers finally !
Very nice!
I have the same conrail rs-11
Great video sorry to dan and you from the livestream yesterday
love the conrail loco! the blue is so nice looking...
I have one
I have that same Santa Fe loco but mines missing a roof
Speaking of tyco power I let myself buy a silver streak and it ran fine at first now it has a stop start problem and an apparent pulling problem
Nice gg1
That is very nice of David Z to G scale to send you those trains. I love the GG1.
Love to see these little guys running
Who would dislike SMT!!!!
I forgot to add something about that new haven FL9 the real ones ran from 1950s strsight thru the Penn central overtake. Then Connecticut trans or metro north took and ran one for the commuter service 80s thru 90s . I believe one ia still running re named CT rail. And the original one number 2002 is at naugatuck railroad Museum still running to this day . nice piece of history for anyone interested . if I'm wrong imput corrections if you like I'm probably not that far off on railroad history stuff however I shouldn't call it a FL9 because those ran on the mainline tbey also ran into New York City and there is a guy that narrates old film taken of the Bew haven trains back in 1960s showing how they ran from New York and all the way to Rhode Island border.
can you run all of your conrail locomotive
That is so cool 😎
I have a durango caboose
Hi smt Mainline my name is Paul Burns I'm from Bensalem Pennsylvania I have a Turbo train do you have one but it only runs on steel track nothing else it's an old Tyco train
Hey SMT, do you have any suggestions on how to get an old rivarossi to run smoother? I've got an AHM (same thing, yeah) heavy 4-6-2 that I would love to get running smoother. Thanks!
I like the Amtrak GG1
nice collection of vintage locos, i really like tje conrail
Sorry I'm late but great video
Amtrak GG1 with a C-C wheel configuration? Very bizarre
AHM IS RSO
What is that style of engine that the conrail and Santa fa are
Congrats on 10k. Looks like a wire sticking out from under the PRR Sharknose
And K line
For a second I thought this was a old video then I click on it and it's new (0_0)
What are the dimensions of your layout loop we see each episode?
That Amtrak gg1 looks nice
Epic vid, I like that rock island switcher
If i send you one of my locomotives could you take a look at it for me and see why it doesn't run well
Have you tried cleaning the wheels and track?
It's a do at your own risk sorta thing but sure.
Tyco gg1s make me cringe when I look at the wheels
Is there going to be a 10K giveaway?
Absolutely!
i love the santa fe gp9. it is one of my favorite engines and i love how you have so many! if you can in the next video tell us where you get all of you vintage locos because i want to get some. thanks.
What athearn genesis models do you own?
10.1k subscribers why to go dude keep this up
Hey SMT. Is your Hiawatha the 4-4-2 or 4-6-2 variant?
The wheel configuration is 4-4-2
@@SMTMainline okay thx I was just wondering since I found pictures of the Chippewa which is a 4-6-2
Hombey
Are you gonna restore the blue goose
Eventually.
That’s epic
