Since the TMCC products have been purged for a year now. (where are they Lionel????) I can't think of a single thing I need. I need ideas. So list away.

Single thing or Signal ?
I have a list, but yes, shorter than in years past. Mostly items on the shelf I need parts for repairs (TMCC crane car) or other items (bunch of Lionchief).

Oops, thanks for the correct.
I haven't started a parts list yet but I imagine I could find a few things but definitely less than in the past. Just did a quick search. Any thing newer and no parts are listed. There is a sweet spot of about 4 years that you can still obtain parts. The sale is becoming irrelevant.
I miss the Warehouse Sales .
of course ! The Sale starts AFTER I've ordered Parts ! That's Typical !!
Wow THANKS MARTYE!!!!! Almost forgot about this thanks again gotta recheck my list.
GARY,
Yes I need to get some of the lighting stuff for some of the Legacy engines that seems to be a little testy….also I have just lost the ability to use my smoke unit on the older 0-6-0t engine so I need to get a smoke unit…that should do me…I hope?
Fortunately, Lionel does seem to be still supplying most of their smoke unit components from the past some years, so that's likely going to be the bulk of my order.

I forget how far back but Lionel has stop posting engine breakdown with parts list. Look anything up in the past few years and you get no results. So much for customer service.
a) thanks!
b) traction tires? burned out lights or LEDs? Trucks that do not have zinc pest?
I have been waiting to get SD70Ace truck pilots in black. If you do a shell swap, the pilots do NOT come with! And now that I think of it, all metal trucks for Weaver freight cars.
Forgot all about this thing. Thanks Pete @Norton for reminding me. I have trucks for a few Weaver projects and Milk car trucks to replace some of the crap ones on the latest runs.
I ordered some small parts I needed and some traction tires. Lionel didn't have all the traction tire variations I needed in stock so I'll have to place an order with Hennings too.
Everything I went to get is not in stock or no parts broken out. I guess so far unless I think of anything else I'm good to go, or in this case No Go.
Got everything I need for a total of $77.00, that includes the shipping. Just small pieces that I need to fix up some little things. Thanks Lionel.
Pittmans & pickup rollers & elephant ears, oh my!
Silver passenger car trucks for 15" LIONEL anodized aluminum passenger cars (shells, frames, and interiors purchased from N. Lima Trainworks long ago) were the main items. These are for a Texas Special fantasy consist. Pity LIONEL decided to obsolete so many electronic components or they'd have been a big part of the order.
THANK YOU, LIONEL!!!
Well I managed a few things.
Thanks Lionel for doing this. Please update the current products into the parts inventory.

They still have pittmans, I should check that out thanks.
Credit where credit is due. I got a confirmation email. In all the years we had the parts sales and other time I ordered parts, I never got confirmation emails until last year. Another that a boy to Lionel for finally getting that working.
Is there a way to search the site using a wild card character? I tried the usual */?,. Didn't work.

I also got a confirmation email for my order. In fact I got several:
- Received my order
- About to be shipped
- Shipped
- A UPS tracking number
- Shipped (again)
- Shipped (third time)
It's great that Lionel is finally sending confirmation emails, but they might have overdone it a bit.

Also, got about 3 confirmations that the parts have shipped. But 3 is better than none and I am impressed with the speed of getting the order ready.

Exactly. In the past we were left wondering if we would even get the order or better yet if they received it.
