great job getting some old tyco loco runing again i got a kato f7 a&b units that i got from a friend he had his basement flooded these 2 kato units he told me they would never run again & they are still runing today
You are one of the coolest dudes on CZcams. Caught those B&Os (Capitol Limited) from Silver Spring Md in the early 60s to Harper's Ferry WV. Smooth ride and most comfortable seats ever. Lots of printers from GPO used it to get home to Brunswick MD.
Good job! At 8:35 hearing you laugh of the shadiest fixes and lets see if it runs made me laugh and smile how I knew it run one way or another. I had a locomotive like this that came in a box at a yardsale But shell wasnt good the motors however are. Yes i said motors 2 mantua mu motors for a F unit. I robbed the brushes for my mantua steamers but the motors are still of use if someone wanted them. The plastic wheels have chipped from previous owner but I dont need them . good work getting this old girl fixed up.
HOLY CRAP FINALLY ONE I HAVE! I got this one from a thrift store near a Nutcracker Village in Ohio. It SUCKED, didn't run, and was extremely jerky. Dremel to the contacts, clean up the wheels, and now it's one of my best runners. Edit: I broke it and am now attempting to fix it
My first thought was "You are never going to get that to run unless you drill out those rivets!" You can replace them with 2.5mm x 20mm screws. Great job. I like that Baltimore & Ohio paint.
@@SMTMainline You might have to order them from a hobby supply store, or an on-line source such as Micro-Mark. You can get them as short as 1/4" (appx 6.35mm) on their website. They are also available at Jameco Electronics.
Wow SMT I didn’t know you put CA on the truck covers where it goes. I was expecting screws and nuts but this will be easier for me to repair my Burlington GP 20. Thanks for showing me!
I have seen guys replace those rivets with screws but getting something to still hold it to that mount bracket is a challenge, because the top of it holds that on. If the rivet is hollow maybe they could be tapped for a screw from the bottom. The front truck is no big deal for a couple of long screws through with nuts probably on the top. Engine is missing a plastic fuel tank and metal weight that sits inside of it.
Sorry I’m a bit late I fell asleep but nice restoration smt I’m fixing a tyco mantua Pennsylvania f7 but I’m painting it into a New York central scheme
So the B&O dummy unit I got many years ago was a Tyco one. I got it in a bog lot of HO scale trains with a table back in 2011. This unit lacking a powered companion led me to purchase an Athearn B&O A-B pair at a train show, which I now use without the Tyco dummy due to it lacking a proper back coupler holder
Nice restoration Harrison! Kind of odd they would rivet the trucks together especially knowing that eventually, that area of the locomotive will have to be serviced!
@@Gma7788 I didn't say that I don't understand rivets, what I meant was that it's unusual that they would do that knowing the eventual owner would have to service that area of locomotive eventually. Not everyone has the necessary tools, or would go through the trouble of drilling out the rivets and then having to replace them with new rivets after servicing! If that makes me odd, so be it, it's just that I've never seen one done this way before.
I would say its an accident when he probably ment to schedule it earlier probably didnt see the time to do so which I can understand ive done it myself had to go back and fix it. He also probably figures. Nobody would he up so they would get video in the morning. No harm no fowl id say.
Also remember hea been really busy so to get videos out i think is pretty impressive when your busy schedule. I rarely put videos up cause im a truck driver but i find it fun when i can
You should invest into small bench wire wheel and grinder. Put brass wheels in it and pretty much anything you run through it will look new again. Helps with rust and polishing metal.
Super. I still operate two road locomotives and four switching locomotives with the MU-2 drive, and even with mine pulling snowplow duty, they do not look anything like this rusty locomotive. 💙 T.E.N.
I'm a firm believer that humility will do far more damage to a locomotive than ice. I ran several of my Athearns in the snow, it didn't make any difference to performance.

@@SMTMainline Okay - that's understandable. But you've made me think for a minute.... If you REALLY want that sucker glued down and never have to worry about it again, try JB-Weld. That is an epoxy type glue which is mixed just before it is used, and from my experience will bond anything to anything, and it simply will not break.

Then using that same toothpick, apply a tiny bit on each side if the two items you want to glue together, and place them together. This hardens in about two hours, and you'll NEVER be able to separate the bond! I have used it to glue coupler boxes to loco and car frames when a screw simply can't be used. I've never had one break off. Of course...glue the box to the frame BEFORE you put the coupler in the coupler box!!!
Check the wiring , commutator. If the motor turns and its not running. Id say the pivot gear. The metal on. Motor is spinning on the shaft or something. That be my honest guess SMT may know better. I have a chattanooga but the gear on Motor looks different its a 1st gen 1974-1975 locomotive with cars and 1stgen caboose. Quiet runner
the music was not needed buddy. I don't like that you don't due a total breakdown cleaning. You are only doing the bare minimum why is that? So much junk and corrosion, rust none of it cleaned. KILLING ME SMALLS!!!
I’m always waiting for an evil spirit to be released from one of these old locos. “Who darrrre disturb my slumberrrrr?!”
SMT isn't afraid of evil spirits...he conquers them and destroys them. He cast them out of this loco most successfully!!!
That might happen if SMT works on a Marx # 666 O27 gauge locomotive.

wow buddy you are amasing
If you drill and tap those rivets, you can put a small screw in place to hold the trucks together.
For an idea on how to do it, look at Marty's Matchbox Makeovers. He does it frequently with Matchbox cars. The rivets should be about the same size.

SMT - You may want to inspect the wheel that you glued the cracked flange back in place. Some of the CA may be on the wheel's tread & on the surface of the flange, potentially causing intermittent power pick-up.
Needs the central weight pack.
For removing that rust...do you happen to have a Dremel Moto-Tool with a brush bit? That's get that rust off quickly!
Yes
You should try using evapo rust on heavily corroded parts its great and safe on plastic and brass
I haven't heard of that before but I will look into it.

Look up marties matchbox makeover for ideas for the rivet replacment

Recommend a designated area for specifically drilling. Metal filings are a bad thing..
