I just want people to know that Hennings Trains [ A forum Sponsor] came to my rescue with the Lionel PRR M1b.
I bought this Locomotive from Stout Auctions. Once delivered, while I thought I got a bargain of a loco, I quickly found out the reason for the item being in the auction. The Front pilot was bent down so far it would scrape the rails!
While it took Hennings 6 months with their repair backlog, Old man Harry Henning came through with fixing the front pilot turning this from an expensive shelf queen to a beautiful piece of working art! They went beyond my expectations including the repair price! Where other repair guys reject, give Hennings a try!
