These newer Engines all the fine delicate detail.We demand realism and detail.Well we got it. These Locomotives are heavy and they run hard.I am constantly finding detail pieces all over the layout-constantly breaking pieces off when trying to work on them.I have super glued the front end railings of my JLC Allegheny back together a dozen times.I have HUGE hands need tweezers for this HAHA Just a fun rant I love these Lionel Trains!

I now have a zip lock bag that has a dozen miscellaneous pieces from who knows where
Someday I'll find where those parts go, but nit today.
Post-war ! Like the old Timex ad. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
Easy Nick!.......... Easy! LOL!
Three out of Four ice hatch doors are missing on my KLine operating milk car. The doors serve no real purpose... I'm thinking of resin casting the remaining one and hot gluing them in place...
Yep; new Vision Line Reefers; unaware of small plastic ladder mounted below double doors; while lifting one out of its packing the first time --> snap; easily re-attached with crazy glue. Always a conundrum figuring out how to pick up a late model without breaking something; BUT you gotta love'em. Oh, let's not forget that occasional miniature screw that shows up from out of nowhere.
