I've always had a liking for the postwar Santa Fe Lionel, so I finally broke down and got a 2353 A-A set off of Ebay for $163. The thing looks and runs pretty good, so I'm happy with the purchase and am looking forward to putting them in the schedule, so to speak. But I do have a couple of questions:
What do you generally use for the cars? I'm not particularly fond of the Lionel Lines cars that came in some of the sets. I have all 42" curves, if that makes a difference.
How can I permanently lock this into a forward only mode of operation. It may sound odd, but this will never run in reverse again - will be on a timer with a push button start. Is there some way to bypass the E unit entirely or is that a crazy thing to do.
Thanks for any input.
