My next project

Hi,

   I went rummaging around at my LHS shop yesterday and I picked up a Lionel 150 engine and 5 "600" cars and a couple of other pieces for $70.  I was able to get the cars all cleaned up today, even though a couple have some heavy play wear and paint loss.  The engine will be a repaint as the top and ends are bare metal now.  When I separated the shell from the engine the casing for the three wires is very brittle and breaking off.  The engine runs great and the light was working when I tested it out.  As I do not have a wheel puller and have not learned how to remove and replace the wheels, I will let the pros handle the replacement of the brittle wiring and give it a good cleanout and lube.

   Is there a good source for the New York Central lines and "150" decals available out on the market?

    I planned to keep to the 1930's with my pre-war Lionel, but I saw that set in the box flat just sitting there and it looked like it needed a home.
