Mega Fix of an Entire Collection of HO Locomotives

I decided to have a go at trying to repair seven locomotives all in one go. Some of these are fairly modern, others were likely made some 40 to 50 years ago.

Each locomotive had its own unique repair needs due to damaged or missing parts. I had to improvise pieces quite a few times along the way but I'm overall happy with the repairs.

The collection belongs to a guy named Louis and I'd be curious to get more back story on how some of these locomotives ended up in the condition I found them.

I really like the UP swither and love the slow speed operation really amazed with what you did with the GS-4

I would add this: A TRAIN OF DELIGHTS. It is interesting how you can take a locomotive in disrepair for years and make it happy again. You videos are fun and intelegent to watch. I have had one O scale train and that is about it; but, I have learned so much watching your work that I am beginning to understand how these engines and trains work. I have a son who turns 50 this December who has a really neat N scale lay out. I have always enjoyed watching him play with his trains and since I have been watching your videos, I understand why he is so delighted with his layout. Keep up the fon and intresting videos Harrisom, they are the best I have seen.

A whole "train" of repairs in one video? Excellent idea Harrison! Btw, pun 101% intended.

You did a good job, Harrison! I'm impressed to see those little guys get up and running again.

I love that daylight, wish I had one. Great job fixing all of them!

7 videos in one are very impressive and with a crazy run at the end. With the repairs and video editing that 30-minute video took about 5 to 6 hours. Great stuff, Jersey Bill

The 2007-era Life Like GP38-2 High Hood was produced around the time Walthers acquired the Life-Like branding, also the GS4's faceplate is the smokebox door
