Title: Restoring some old prewar Lionel big O gauge
Post by: pjdog350 on May 05, 2023, 04:37:57 AM

I have gotten interested in prewar Lionel because Jim sold me one of his Lionel 226E's. However, I don't have the cars that go with it. I've been finding them and 99% are very rough. Plus, missing parts. Here is a video of some of the work I've been doing.

I throw out the beat up tanks and use the frames for flatcars. I put old toy trucks and such on them.
