Craig shares his many tips on how to evaluate and fix brass engines. He describes how to decide what engines are worth the effort to work on them and the many tools and techniques he uses.
Thanks for sharing your video. I have been rebuilding old Tenshodos Diesel Units as of late. One tool that I also use here are 3d printers (resin and FDM). I print custom detail parts that would not be available. I have been able to fabricate motor mounts to mount those Mabuchi 18mm square motors, so they have a factory like install. I make my own gears, so I can fine tune the final speed and torque of the locomotive. And since I am doing this project over a fleet of locomotives, I can scale up a mini production run of common parts .
Thank you for this video. Very inspiring and informative. I've been working on locomotives for years. I started on cheap models and have been working on brass for a while and am trying my best to do good clean work but it's not always easy 😆.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm just starting to work with these brass loco's and this was very helpful. Looking forward to your other video's
