In the midst of so much clickbait, fake news, blinkered unreasoning debate, and political BS, there still exists a place of quite, calm, relaxed, wholesomeness that makes KZread worth visiting occasionally. If you know where to look, and what you are looking for/at. All it really needs to have a more positive view on KZread content, I've finally found, is to do the filtering yourself. We all 'want content' - but don't let them tell you what that means, or that it's free, or that it's good because it's popular. I've had this on my list of possible things to watch for a while now*. And I've waited until it just felt like I was ready to watch it. And it's very, very satisfying. :)) * Edit: I must have been thinking of another JM post above; because when I got to the end of this one and found there was no part 2 I was SO sad. Until I realised that this has just been posted! Real 'live' content: not just another dead end that won't ever be followed up, hopefully. And that made me happier than anything has this month, tbh.

Everyone's going on about how great it is to listen to JM talking about drying paint and all that. (And I don't disagree.) But about halfway through it struck me just how much Mike's keenness, enthusiasm and 'wholesomeness' also makes this fascinating viewing too. A brat of a nephew would make this very awkward to watch. Mike certainly deserves more credit than he is getting here.

I think it's amazing just how good all three of the original TG now GT presenters are at making anything at all fascinating, I mean any one of them could basically carry any show at all and combining them is magic. Could literally watch this kind of thing forever.

The Most Expensive Toy Train Repairman in the World, and Mike got it done free. Great show.

I cannot clearly express how much joy this sort of repair attempt brings me. I'm someone that is repairing buzzing bits and blinky blinks. I'm horribly frustrated by the disposable world we have created. Thanks for this.

I suspect a glass of red is an essential part of his tool kit for repairing toy trains. Whenever something gets difficult or frustrating, a gulp of wine relieves the tension and gives him new energy to tackle the problem.

Can’t wait for the next video!!! I miss the reassembler so much!!! James may is a legend!!!!!

James is even more nostalgic over a glass of wine, love when you talk about trains or anything old James

I'd really love to see more model train races like the ones he did a few years ago; as a kid I watched them, and even being 19 now I'd still love to see more.

I like how may is the only one who could pull a video like this off.

Love this makes me want to get my old train set out I laughed when you placed the wine glass in between the camera and the train brilliant 👍

This is utterly joyous. In a world gone mad I need to watch more of James May being slow

Sir James May... You are my childhood... Don't stop, we love it... 👍

Castle class :" Help I can't move." Flying Scotts man with realistic chuffing sound :" I know just the man ,A man who has repaired me to run a main line ,to go head to head with the Germans.''

My hat off to you, you do know how to work. And you have an engineer vein in you. A competent one at that. Can't wait for Part 2.

Its oddly satisfying to watch May fix trains ......... I can watch this all day....

good work James always good to have someone like you restore these classic models.

One of my favourite KZread videos this year, can’t wait for part 2 ...

I LOVED the Reassembler. Every episode!

This is really really cool! Can't wait for the next part. This channel is getting better and better!

Absolutely never in my life have I ever had interest in trains or toy trains. But still watched and enjoyed the whole video.

I love listening to James May ramble on while tinkering. The reassembler returns! And it’s about time Man Lab came back too!

I remember James talking about that glorious screw holding screwdriver in the reassembler. I totally need one

You're a great teacher James May. I wish that December 4 2019 was months ago now that I have to wait for the rest of this.

Wonderfully meditative and soothing - Thanks to May, Mike and Drivetribe. More of this, please. Happy new year to all in here. BR, Per (Denmark)

James will likely never read this, but as a fellow toy train fan I've taken to using a 9 volt battery for testing motors. No more fussing with alligator clips every time you need to test a motor.

I enjoy seeing the tools, train and makings of the family train. Love that electric smell of childhood toys.

10:43 James realizes the toolkit is askew.

The Reassembler, but this time you can see the liquid propulsion, instead of hidden in a "tea" cup. Love it!

As an O scale model railroad fan, this is very informative, although I also like to see my trains run, I enjoy the scenery, model building, and attempt to make my layout as realistic as I can, all part of the fun Mr. May.

Finally! James May is the Disassembler. Plus PAIR troubleshooting (Probe, Analyse, Isolate and Resolve). Can’t wait for part two! Some of the best engineering has been done accompanied by wine.

I don't know why I wasn't aware of this when it was posted, but I am definitely glad the youtube algorithm decided to put this in my recommended one year later.

i love my fleischman, he was our neighbour for his retired years, cleaned all my stuff in his firm for me for free and of course, gifted us sometimes a little wagon or sth. what great days back in the 80s. and what a great man mr. fleischman was! sadly the firm went bankrypt i think and bought by märklin. much love from germany and thanks for the super video!

Cant wait for part 2!

I don’t understand how there’s millions of KZread videos but for some reason I’m captivated and can watch James discuss toy train troubleshooting symptoms for hours

I loved that so much. Best KZread video I’ve seen for ages. I love model trains and James May is the best

i like trains

Richard Hammond is making a show repairing and restoring old cars. I say, why not make a show with James May repairing and restoring old toys. And that's an honest idea, cuz it's a show I would honestly love to watch.

James you are brilliant. Thank you for this lesson. I want to join in maintenance team at my job.

Please for the love of any deity of your choosing, do a 1 hour model railway challenge. The rules; 1. It must be a working model - The trains must run. 2. It must be built on a shelf 7 foot long by 8 inches wide (Purely because that's the size of my first layout. 9 quid from B&Q) 3. It must have scenery. Hills, grass, trees, etc. 4. It must be operated by conventional DC (Old school controllers) 5. Wine. 6. Brownie points for working extra features. Signals, point work, lighting, etc.

smooth presentation, like a nice red, thanks go to both of you. cheers
