Hopeful news: Some of you may already know that Joe Mania has bought and moved most of the M.E.W. tooling to his shop. We have a list of the most common parts needed to keep these pre war relics running. These will include collectors, light holders, grabs, stanchions ,brake wheels, couplers etc. I will continue to make the die cast wheels, and expand the wheel dept. I am also working on producing the tin freight and passenger car wheels for Lionel, Flyer & Ives, as time permits. In short, all wheel production will continue. I have listed and pictured all Ives, American Flyer & Dorfan parts that are currently available on our website, when they run out, they are gone. Most items will probably be no more .
I only have listed a small selection of the Lionel parts we have. There again, Stephanie, (she is a sweetheart), is taking pictures and listing more items daily to our site. Joe will concentrate on re-producing a lot of the Lionel items and surely expand when he finds and sorts the thousands of small pieces used to make these parts. Most tool sets need extensive cleaning & sharpening to run, as a lot of them have not run for over 50 years. Joe also has the tooling for the Ives / A. Flyer 19"passenger cars, This is 'BIG' tooling and probably will not be produced anytime soon, if ever.
Thank you all for your input on our parts. Joe will also need your input on what you need most.
