Recently acquired the Lionel Milwaukee Road S3 #261 4-8-4, 6-11229.  The engine was giving me some running issues. Upon removing the boiler, I found that the 3 pin connector on the RCVR board was detached from the pins, see photo.

Checking the Lionel parts site, I found that they only sell the RCVR with the mother board for $150. I don't feel confident that I can resolder the pins to the connector, even though I have done a lot of soldering in the past.

Any suggestions would be most helpful.

Thanks, RAY

Ray,  I have those pins/connectors.  Not really too hard.  I use my Weller temp iron (good one) with adjustable set point.  I have done them on boards similar to Lionel one.  Not too difficult.  

I can bring iron down or some arrangement.

The one thing about the Lionel receiver board is it apparently has a an internal ground plane that soaks up heat, so a bit more heat it needed to free the pins.
