Great video

Just getting into post war Lionel trains. That book has been a godsend.

Thank you for helping me to restore my U36B to working order, great video! If you had affiliate links for the products you used, I would be happy to support.

Great video! First time seeing an e-unit cleaned without taking it fully apart. I’ll try your technique on my next project. Thank you for doing this!

Most all the sheet metal framed vertical motor diesel engines are same and at very least similar to the process you demonstrated. Main differences are one or two magna traction axles, 2 or 3 position “E” unit and single or double wound coils. Earlier motors have a lower bearing plate where as later one’s have bearing in sheet metal frame. Later engines with single drive axle and rubber tires still similar. This is a total different assembly in the 2000 series (2023, 2032, 2041) engines which are much more up scale robust design and does not have a sheet metal frame. But my opinion is the magna traction in the early 200 series Alco diesels and switchers is very good if not the best. Very nice presentation here.

Nice work. It's great that you can run up to a train store for parts, consider that a blessing. The fact that I only live less than 30 miles from Mt Clemens Mi you would think that a train store would be somewhere around. I enjoy watching your videos.

Hey I know that train store :) that's my home store.

Perfect timing i just got that train. I was surprised it had a horn . Have a great day.

💯🚂❤️✅ I really enjoyed watching you repair this. I have an old one and the tips you gave gave me the confidence I need to open it up and see what I can do to get it to run better than it does it need some work and I’m sure that the battery in there needs to be replaced

Very nice. Great work

4:25 “compression washer” AKA speed nut 1:45 “reverse roller” AKA E unit reverse drum. Plastic thrust bearing has ball bearing often lost. Location of black plastic can be finessed to improve motor operation. Some use a matchstick w/o head to shim between aluminum frame and plastic bearing plate. Loose washers may fit on armature to limit thrust. Loved that engine as a kid.

I could hardly hear you. Good info but turn up your volume a couple of notches please.

Hey I know that place! When I saw you head into a small strip mall I started wondering if your destination was Roundhouse Trains in Louisville!

Nice 👍

When you reinstalled the armature, was there a bearing ball as shown in the service manual? Is it recessed in the field structure? I have two extra flat washers. It’s been several months since I disassembled the engine. Mine is Seaboard 601, which I received in 1956.

I wondered about the bearing as well. Did he verify it was even in the truck? Or did he lubricate it at all? Let me watch the video again.

Swag!

So with the body off, why didn’t you scrub it clean? 😮

Good Video would much better without Ding-Ding-Ding music .

You voice was to low on this video to hear you. Music box did not work in background.

Thank you for your comments. I’ve since learned that doing a voiceover is the better way to go. Gives me more control on the audio with the background music. I’ll probably do a similar switcher video later this year.

Very informative, but the music gets annoying after a while.

Just letting you know your voice volume is way too low . Can hardly hear you at normal volume. It has been that way for about 5 of your last videos.
