Hello guys and gals..........
One way to solve this is to buy older Lionel NOS trains and you can still get parts for them from part vendors. The older NOS trains are simple to repair at home !! it works for me !!! You guys don't need 2000 dollar big boys to have fun.

Then I suggest that you practice what you preach, and dispose of that great big Sunset/3rd Rail Santa Fe 2-10-4 steam locomotive model!
I guess you like me to sell it to you for 10 dollars right ? I have thought of that and I would trade it for good running car that wont break down as I need a car. I don't care for preaching as if that what you feel, well ok.
