Reply to "I didn't kill my 1987 Lionel Large Scale 0-6-0 with AC power after all!"

That's the downfall of the old Lionel large scale line of loco's...that is the wheels are made of aluminum with power pickup brushes rubbing the backside. The aluminum will oxidize almost as fast as you can clean them. They will work great today but tomorrow...who knows? I had 6 GP20's that were a constant battle to keep running...I finally sold them all.

Glad you didn't hurt it by using on AC. The loco's with electronic boards won't tolerate any AC....Even the Railsounds equipped ones are set up for DC power.
