Larry I’m a little worried, you made some comments about health and haven’t heard from you, hope all is well and sending prayers just in case 😊

For some time back, all I bought was Athearn models. Still have about 2 dozen of them in my collection. At the time they were the most economical models as well as some of the best runners on the market.

Great video Larry hope you’re doing well. Im looking forward to seeing your next video. I’m sure your absence is because your camera crapped out again. Gotta wait till you get the Nikon or Canon camera…..

Thanks Larry for all your instructive videos! Hope you are OK. Wish you all the best!

HOPE YOUR HEALTH is well, miss your videos

Larry, love the channel, I have been watching just about since you started on KZread!! Excellent informative videos always... Any chance you might consider diving into the LCC topic? This could be a topic that can become an extensive playlist from intro to how too's. Just a suggestion from a loyal fan.🙂

Larry, I hope all is well with your family, and that you are in good health. Best Wishes

These videos are so helpful. Thank you for making them. I recently rebuilt an Atlas/Kato RS-1 I bought used over 25 years ago but never ran. It ran but was real "crunchy" ! All gears were removed, soaked and scraped in degreaser (super wash) and regreased with Super Lube (found in most hardware stores), oiled the bearings and motor with Labelle. It was so satisfying to start it up and listen to it purr.

I hope you are well larry it has been a little over a month since the last video. Best wishes!

Great video. Just a thought if you don't mind though, on older Athearn locomotives like that, some of them are my favorites, I found that cleaning the commentator(sp) really improves performance as well. That and a good wheel cleaning. Thanks for the video.

Another great video. And the timing was perfect, I have some old Athearn BB locomotives I want to bring back out. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Larry, a lot of us have old locos that need a little help to keep them going.

I bought a few of these second hand Athearn BB locomotives, replaced cracked gears (I just swapped out the entire wheel set to get the nickel silver wheels), and relubed. I actually found that the regular light oil on the wheel bearings gave me electric pickup issues. I had to clean the oil out of them and used the Bachmann Conductive Contact Lube on those bearings instead. Everything seems to be running fine now.

Great stuff as always. Currently rewatching your DCC conversion video to refresh on a current Blue Box SW1200. I have successfully converted countless blue boxes this way. Great locomotives.

Hi Larry & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Larry & Friends Randy & Super Cool &Athearn Locomotive & Thanks Super Cool Video & Friends Randy

As usual a very informative video; in this case on how to rehabilitate an old Athearn F7 locomotive. I've certainly disassembled my fair share of these locos to get them running a bit smoother using similar techniques I'd seen on someone else's channel. But I have to ask, what in the world is all that goofy looking wiring? I watched the entire video just in the hope of finding out it's function, if any. Never seen anything like that before. Anyway, thanks for another great model railroading video!

I always polish the coms on my athearns when they look that dirty.

I got rid of all of my athearn BB diesels sintered iron metal wheels and replaced them with nickel silver wheel sets from NWSL. Result: Way better power pick up and less dirty wheels.

As always another great video, Larry!
