Hello everyone,
Thanks for all your great replies, it's great to talk about upgrades and repairs.
Marty, yes i only use MTH tires, i find Lionel tires to thick.
Angelo, not an easy task, but i love the challenge !!!
Doug, i totally agree with Marty about the truck design, excellent engineering.
CNJ Bob, my pleasure, and thank you for your kind words.
Bob, thank you for your kind words, i love working and repairing these engines.
Larry, beautiful words- thank you so much !!!!!
Kris, i find a nice soft towel works best, for parts and not damaging the engine.
Richard, thanks for the kind words, yes it's not a job for a novice. It's quite involved, but the more involved it is the more i like it.
Kevin, thanks buddy. I really enjoy sharing this with all of you on the forum.
Joe, it would be quite a task to change this engine to 2 rail. lol !
John, Thanks. The IR tethers are going to remain, unless the customer wants me to change them out. I will ask him.
Laz, thanks buddy, I really enjoy sharing my work with all of you on this great forum.
Some might disagree, but I think Lionel did some amazing engineering on this engine. !!!!
Thanks, Alex
