Here is a new video !!
It's a 1218 American Flyer locomotive. 0 gauge.
This model had a lot of different colors (green,orange,...) and I decided to make a full black finish.
It was in very bad shape, pretty much rusted, not tested before being restored.
Please watch till the end to see this rare electric locomotive in action !
By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.
Thanks a lot for watching !

(1) The craftsmanship is second to none; (2) the attention to absolute detail is second to none; (3) and we cannot overlook the videoraphy, text narration and screenplay, which even includes silent humor. I have no words. Just beautiful work and productions. Thank you for sharing this.

Electrolysis is an amazing process. It can clean an 1800s piece of cast iron back to gray metal with no chance of damaging the surface. Here's a little trick I use with skillets because I use a 30 gallon tank and don't often change the solution. I hang the cast iron inside a pillowcase. It acts as a filter allowing the current to pass but containing the sludge keeping the anodes cleaner longer. I hose out the pillowcase between pieces and its ready to go again.

The train rescues are obviously a hit. but it's the video editing; these delightful cuts and whimsical transitions. The absolute talent to spot a shot where there is none. I mean only you would think of a static close up of a bell, that gracefully sliiiide the motor unit in front as the focus adjusts, then top it with a wrist flip to get the motor the right way for the shot. You could've just put it the right way round to begin with but you didn't. That's art man, just delightful.
