Reply to "Need ideas on how to make a living working on trains."

Thanks for your suggestions and I definitely got a chuckle on the losing a million dollars over 20 years....I've already spent too much over the past few months!!  As for doing repair work I have pretty much everything that's needed.  Arbor press, wheel puller, small tools, drill bits, taps, wire, wire connectors and a steadily growing supply of old parts that I've acquired.  I looked into becoming a certified Lionel/MTH repair center for the newer stuff but they are no longer holding classes....I would however consider myself quite adept repairing prewar trains.  I can get a broken super motor rewired, cleaned, brushes replaced etc quite quickly.  I'm also good with fixing e units, pendulum reverse units, hand reverse switches, headlight wiring and bild a loco motors as well.  I appreciate the suggestion about talking with OGR to see if I could get my name out as a quality repair man.
