Hey SMT! Really glad you got the RS11 running! All that internal stuff isn't my fault was like that when I got it 🙂 I was trying to figure out the coupler situation and that's when I gave up. I was thinking about cutting off the ends of the trucks and body mounting a box to the frame???
Yes the motor made a big difference in pulling power.
Enjoyed the video. Excellent job Harrison. When you went to full throttle reminded me of days running slot cars😂
You spoke of Austin's modeling BNSF, try looking at Crikey vision- Anim8fx. He does wild work animation of plastic figures
Addendum -keep in mind a #10 band will work at first, if is latex, but will stretch in a very short time, and you will tire of hanging quite a bit sooner.😅

Ahearn band drive engines use a #8 latex band. If you can get synthetic bands that's better, and a '10 band will work without the extra tension. A #8 band is 1" or2.54 cm. A #10 is 1.25" or if you can find any a "27 band is twice as wide, and still th same length . You can find rubber band size charts from 4 or more makers of common sizes online. Info: when measuring a band for size. Pull each end til it goes rea.ively flat without stretching it, then put it up against a rule to find its size.
A few months ago I bought a box of somewhat workable engines. I found an old box that had been short of any packing, an old metal European hook and loop coupler engine. It has the overhead electric contact. But has no motor. Small it is, but quite heavy. I have no idea who made it, I will give a go, and see if any motors I have can be adapted.
Idea I use, if you have anyone using medications. A lot of the clear or semi-clear bottles work great for odd spare parts. I get things like a cellphone that won't work with the new 5G systems, speakers and screws. Just make sure there aren't any pills stuck inside.
Hi Harrison can you please come back to trains and such please
👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂
I used to adjust the brush spring for optimal engine rpm.
I showed up as you were signing off this time. I watched the recorded version, and I would have saved you from the wire crossover, but it made for good entertainment. Wish I was there, Jersey Bill
SMT – The TV commercial for Tyco U.S. 1 Electric Trucking Set might be on You Tube. I think the name "Tyco" was coined from "Tyler Company" – the Tyler brothers who founded Mantua and created Tyco for beginner model railroaders.
Invest in a hot air rework station
That ''AHM'' locomotive was also marketed under the 'Life-Like' name as well
It's fun watching the "hand of God" operate the turnouts.
Convert that ahm locomotive to DCC n Sound technology to make it work again
looks likes some one needs to have a coupler adjustment/service/replace session 🙂
What do you do with a model power that the motor doesn't work
How many trains do you have
Harrison, Life-Like never went out of business. All of Life-Like products were purchased by Walthers outright. All life-like products went to Walthers. The Life-Like Proto 2000 for the price they were best in so many categories. Tyco never produced locos or rolling stock anything close to Proto 2k or 1k. Before the Proto lines Life-like was on par with Tyco, AHM the low end of design. Athearn were best of the budget brands. Proto 2k eclipse Athearn, and Proto 1k matched Athearn.
Always watched your videos very informative and entertaining thanks Patrick Quinn IRL
I used to have that engine
love all your stuff, Harrison. But 2 hours…?
great job Harrison !!! 👍👍
Hey again Harrison, I had a blast watching this Live chat repair , testing your engine & running your passenger cars. Enjoy your engine , trains & your layout. 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
