Hi - i have a Lionel F3 Post War ( not sure of model number but it was from my father in the mid to late 1950's) I ran the engine with the B and non powered A unit at Christmas and it ran fine - the horn was working although not making a real good sound. Well I took the engine out for a run the other day and the horn was not working and the engine did work - forward/reverse, light on but it was not very fast - wheels are clean and it looks ok but it is running slow - I added a new "D" cell battery and the battery chamber was clean. I asked Lionel if they could service the engine but they said they do not do Post War - i have contacted some people that Lionel recommended but no response. so does anyone have a reliable service company that i could send the engine to? thanks
