First time member and post. Really enjoyed the forum and recieved a lot of great support and assistance. Great to be apart of so many who share the love for this great hobby.
Looking to complete my Polar Express heavyweight train that I am building with my Pere Marquette 1225 Legacy 6-11455. Bought last year the Polar Express tender, but only recently learned how to make the optical sensor correction thanks to ome of your members who posted a procedure to the forum. Already have the Observation and Diner Cars from a year ago, so excited to complete the train now that I have the tender working.
I am looking to buy, new or used, the PE HW Baggage Car 6-25586, Combination Car 6-28057, and Coach Car 6-81945.
Also bought a Southern Crescent HW four car set 6-15596 just before the holidays. Thanks to what I think was UPS' fault, I discovered three trucks were damaged when I unpacked the set. My local Lionel dealer, Charles Ro, said trucks are hard to find. They sold me some misc parts that allowed me to repair two of the trucks. Looking to buy any where between one to four trucks, 6205506050, Pass Trk / 6-whl /w/ coll (cplr 3.75") black.
Thanks,
Southern Randy
Thought this would be an appropriate user name since my grandfather was a conductor on the Southern and Central of GA RR from the 1920's to the 1960's; hence my love for all trains!!
