I have a friend who would like to give his grandchild the train (I assume Lionel) he had as a child. All I know is it doesn't work. The train may not have any money value and was probably made in the 50-60's but he would like to get it running.
Anyone know of a LHS, or one who repairs model trains in the Dallas TX., area, or anyone who will work on a train with little value if the owner is willing to pay. All information will be forwarded on.
Thanks
Brent

Chuck,
I spoke with my friend. She is going to bring me the train, she doesn't know what gauge or brand it is. When I find out I will contact you. It will probably be several days.
Thanks
Brent

I live in Texas, and I use Chuck (see his post). He is a good guy and knows his business. It does seem that there would be a repair shop in the DFW metroplex, but there is none that I know of. If you live in the northeast, you can walk to a repair shop, but they are scarce in Texas.
In the Dallas area, Collectible Trains and Toys does repairs, and Wild Bill's Hobby also has a man who does O Gauge repairs.

The future of Collectible Trains and Toys is in limbo as the owner Pat Neil passed away last Saturday after a brief illness
