I am pleased to announce that the Lionel Operating Train Society has come aboard as a new forum sponsor.  LOTS has been a long time advertiser in our print magazine and is now joining the growing family of sponsors that provide the forum to our readers and member.  LOTS was founded in 1979 and is dedicated to having the most fun possible by operating and collecting the wonderful trains from yesteryear and today.

Being a member of the Lionel Operating Train Society has many benefits not the least of which is a special car that is produced annually for its members.  We invite you to check out their website here and to click on their banner located in the 4th row of the banners at the top of all forum pages.  They are also listed in our index of forum sponsors with a live link.  Please join OGR in welcoming LOTS to the forum!

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Jibbs, 

Happy to hear you have a renewed interest in this wonderful hobby!  It sounds like the smoke unit on the 8702 is not functioning correctly.  This can happen for various reasons.  It may just need cleaned or maybe it needs replaced. E-mail me at lotsbusinessoffice@gmail.com and I'll forward your inquiry to a LOTS member who has been repairing trains in the Chicagoland area for 30 years.  He's not on the forum, but he's always willing to help.

Hey, Hey, Paula,

Welcome aboard, the checks in the mail.

The TEA looks great.

Glad you like the Celestial Seasonings tea car!  You are the proud owner of 1 of only 318 produced : )  It was all that Larry and I envisioned and more when suggesting it after our visit to the factory in Boulder!  I'm actually enjoying a cup right now.  Thanks for being a LOTS Member!

I'm clueless, but I'm sure an authorized Lionel Service Station Rep would know.  If you don't want me to ask LOTS Member Cris Matuszak in Chicago, you might check this list  http://www.lionel.com/articles...l-Authorized-Dealers for one close to you or become friends/join a local O-gauge modular club.  Often times one of the members has lots of experience.

Ok thank you very much will contact them!

Welcome LOTS, and Paula.

I just received my LOTS journal for December.  On the second page is the newest convention car, a Louisville and Nashville, Evans auto loader.  It comes with four Corvette convertibles.  Definitely my next LOTS purchase.

Paul is great to talk with, and I have always loved those LOTS cars.  Here is the Samuel Adams car, then some of my 9 LOTS Santa Fe club cars.

Also, GG1Man is right-they DO look great with a NJHR car!
