APT E REPAIRS MOTOR CHANGE 

I admire your bravery about taking the APT apart, and I am pleased that you have come back. I think your running sessions and videos are brilliant, and very amusing, and certainly override the rivet counters.

Great to see your ok al I'm glad those gate keepers and rivet counters aren't stopping you from making the great content and community that you have produced thank you for your videos they have given me ideas for my layout and thru have provided great entertainment for when I'm sad and you always cheer me up thank you for being the great man that you are al. regards henry Cummins

Great to hear your laughter, Lord Al. You got your mojo and APT E back. My wife and I have always had your back. Our best to you and Lady Barbara. Bill and Janet from California

Yours is the second APT-E to have a new motor fitted this week. So anybody out that has one be aware. It is too modern for my layout, but I do like this livery more than the production model. Thank you, my LORD, for sharing this video If you hurry, you might just make the afternoon sleep in the House of Lords. Martin. (Thailand)

Hi Al glad to see your back to yourself. Good job on the APT. For someone who doesn't have a model railway I look forward to your videos. You did a request for me a while ago when I ask about running a class 47 on one end and a steamer on the other end as if on a train tour if you remember doing it. I must thank you again for doing my request. Looking forward to see where your naughty ladies end up.😂😂. Your laughter is infectious. Keep going as what you do is up to you. It's your railway no one else's,. You have more that enjoy what you do,than the trolls that put you down if you know what I am trying to say. Looking forward to your next video as they put a smile on my face. Gary from County Durham.

Excellent video, and great demonstration on how to change the motor Alan.

Good to see you managed to weave your way past Destination F'd also Good to see Lord Al is sitting on his Lav, flipping the V's round the lavvy door at the trolls.😂 "My granny used to say, Only sad and lonely people get their happiness by making others, life a misery because your not sad and lonely, like them" Great to see you laugh and I did giggle about the destination, only cos I've been to that destination a few times and usually laughed about later. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work Al.👍👍

Hello Lord Al, good to see you again, laughing. Good job on the loco motor. Seeing it running well, is a great bonus and you didn't burn yourself. I normally do at some point. Well done and good to see you smile and laugh again. 😊

So glad you are back to your chirpy, jovial, humorous, self, Alan. Years ago, when I was 16, in my very first employment, a Welshman said to me "nil grindum carborundum". He eventually explained the phrase, do not let the buggers grind you down. I guess you would know if this is correct or not.......!!!!

Nice to see you back Alan. A very useful how-to video, thanks for sharing from 🇨🇦

What a great day, Lord Al is back in town. Your videos are amazing and I love watching you make the most amazing things. You’re a definite Lord , worthy of the status. Keep on laughing. Keep on chuffing. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great news,you've got your mojo back and now you're back in the shed.Keep up the good work.👍👍👍

Good to see you back to your normal self. Great demonstration and a job well done and the train should give you hours of pleasure! Cheers Malcolm

Welcome back to the "Proper" Al , thats better . Respect for having a go with the APT , above my paygrade , well done .

LORD AL! So great to see you back smiling and laughing again. Always here if you need a chat mate. Great job replacing the APT-E motor. Take care all the best to you and lady Babs.

I liked how you changed that motor in that engine. You made it look so easy.

"Oops" I nearly wet myself, Lord Al you crack me up (in a good way) love your sense of humour long may you reign. Great to see you back to your norm best wishes and regards to Barbara, you and your family ignore the mindless idiots. Regards Barry. 😂👍🍺

Hi Allan, I think we could almost say everything in the garden is blooming Lord AI is back to his laugherful self, The APT is back on the rails and the only fly in the ointment are a few missing couplings soon to be hitched on to there train so well done for a good job almost done!!!!. Cheers Robert.

Hi Allan, nlce job well done all the best TONY [ GRIFFIN STATION ].

Great to see you back on form your Lordship...the Khazi wouldn't be the same without you mate...keep in doing what you do Al

Hi Al. Great to hear you laughing again. I was watching your previous video when my partner walked in and asked 'What wrong? Why isn't he laughing?' and she doesn't even watch youtube videos unless I have them on when she is in the room! But Lord Al is back in town and has stuffed the Nagging Nora's down his lavvy and has taken a dump on them! 😆Welcome back to full mirth my friend 🙂👍

hi allan , just superb to see the lafter and the old lord al back , mint mate well done , kind regards , john

Lord Al's back with enthusiasm and a few ideas. Sounds like a recipe for disaster! 😁 Good to see you having a laugh again mate. All the best from Melbourne Aus.

Brilliant video

Great to see you back to your old self again Al.

What a great "how to" update Lord Al, nice to see you have your mojo back. All the best. Ian

Hi ya Allan. What a pleasure to see the Lord Al. We all know and love back again. APT What a lovely looking train. Brilliant fix. Bet you're well chuffed. Like the little speaker thingy. Next time you get a nice person from India telling you you're bank account has been hacked play that down the phone.🤣 Thanks Allan Brilliant vlog buddy. ....Pete....

Great to see you smiling again Alan!! Great video!!!

Great to see you having a great giggle today Lord Allan. Your laughter’s so infectious and always sets me off too! Really needed that today so many thanks. Very interesting to see the inner workings of the APT. Great too that it’s now back in action around your magnificent layout. All the best to you Allan from a very wet and windy Kinross 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Stay safe and warm.

Ciao dear Allan great tutorial my friend a big like for this video and the well done job all the best alberto 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Hi Al - An excellent piece of open heart surgery on the APT , Cheers Kev

Hi Lord Al sorry it's taken a long time for me to watch the video but been busy. It was great to hear you laugh again and what a fantastic repair. If I did 00 after that fine demonstration I think I would have a go. Colin

Just watched your video Al glad you aback keep the videos cig love watched especially the way you laugh and present your videos they are fun and also entertaining and very informative keep them coming dave

Brilliant Allan glad to see your ok and got your mojo back 🍺🍺🍺🚂🚂🚂

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Glad the loco works well.

Great to see it running again, m'lord. Nice arrangement with Rapido and even better doing it yourself... probably saved time, there! Always a pleasure and thanks for the laughs again this morning.

Good to have you back. I need you to keep me going. Odd as that might seem . 😊😊.

Good job Al. You are a braver man than I.

Its great to see you bounced back, enjoying your hobby and sharing your experiences. Roll on your next video. So pleased for you ☺

Hello Alan. Not a train I purchased but glad to see you could fix it. Look after your self. Mick

Great Video and laugh glad your back and enjoying what you do

It's nice to see your back in the Groove to speak.. and enjoying it again.. Wevenjoy watching your videos.Love watching when you do stuff like changed the bridge or today's video. I must ask, where do the trains go when they go through the shed walls ?

Hi Alan, great instructional video, it’s such a shame model locomotive motors fail the way they do, I know a model enthusiast who models in H0 with very little motor failure, he said the motors wear out after many years of use and not weeks and months like recent British manufacturers models do, I believe the European manufacturers pay more money for better motors, I hope you get trouble free running after this motor change, keep safe and thanks for sharing.

Glad you got the APT working, even though I don't really like it as much as the HST. I'm also glad that you liked my Mind your Manors trailer. Bet seeing the young naked couple in front of Hinton Manor gave you the laugh and a half you needed. There's more than one way to put a smile on your face. As for the gaps between the HST coaches, don't close them up too much or the coaches might end up coming off the track on the curves. That's an idea. Create a When it all goes Wrong episode. It'll give us all a good laugh, including you.

Hi Allan, Great fix but it looks a fiddly loco to take on and off the layout I thought my Bachmann western Pullman was fiddly , you got the easy job now couplings take care cheers Al

Darrenbury Central Hi v glad to see you back. Keep it up. 😊

OMG Al. I started watching this last night and almost spat my drink out when you played that small recording 🤣🤣🤣. Finished watching it this morning. Great to see the APT working. I did send you an email regarding the GWR coach C. Not sure if you got it. Take care mate - Riggsy

Thanks for sharing lord al, have a great weekend.

Hi Alan, the front of this train reminds me of Dr Who’s dog K9.

good to see you back to your good self.westhill etc hst couplings i made the same mistake

great video al i do enjoy a good repair video jobs a good un sir

Job's a good un on the APT, great fix and works great...now for those pesky couplings... top man Al.

Another great job.

Brilliant Allan, really helpful and fantastic result. Mine does run, but stalls every now and again. So never know coukd be the motor, time will tell.

Good to see you laughing again. Nice repair video.

Nice job And you didn`t need the hammer

Glad to see you laughing again Allan don't change

Hi Al. Great to see your mojo back! Where on Earth did you get that Aussie gadget? So, great work replacing the motor. I don't remember the video showing the APT-E not working, but before you throw the old motor away, does it just need a bit of lubrication?

😅

Hands up if you love Allan 🙋‍♂️🫶

hope you are well now Al

Hi lord Al you're sounding a lot happier 😁 so that's good and you repaired your apt another bonus. Only 1 complaint you said everything was Hunky Dorry so I was expecting David Bowie to blast out but alas no 😢😂. Yes you need the sliding doors hunts couplings however just check your carriages don't have buffers, if they do they can derail on some curves. For some reason hornby fitted buffers to some mk3 coaches. I've got 2 rakes of virgin/ lner ones and some have and some haven't. I had to remove buffers from 1 coach as it constantly derailed. It's all OK now. Catch you next time Al cheers Andy

Blimey Al you can apply now as an engineer to Rapido

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣first 5 mins
