Any one doing repairs on older LGB | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

As a garden railroader in addition to my love of O gauge, I am excited to see this new forum!

I have an older LGB articulated steam engine (was Unitah) that has been taken apart and I do not know how to put it back together. A person had told me he could clean the engine and install TAS TMCC and took it apart then decided he did not know what to do with it.

Help!

Thanks,

Don

Good Afternoon Don!

Are you still looking to put TMCC into the engine? Contact me by email--in profile.

I am always ready for a project.

I too am looking for someone to repair older LGB. it seems that repairs are dictated by the part availability due to LGB's multiple bankruptcies Causing a parts shortage.

Gentlemen:

I would suggest giving Chris Gantz from Nicholas Smith Trains a call. I found him VERY helpful when I had my LGB collection; he may be able to point you in the right direction.
