Excellent manual for running Postwar Lionel trains,
By Thor Sheil (Freehold, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginner's Guide to Repairing Lionel Trains (Paperback)
Perhaps the best book of its type, the postwar Lionel train owner should have it in his library. It tells how to bring those old trains back to life, run them and enjoy them. Beyone rudimentary repair is everything from layouts to wiring to operating accessories. The author has the ability to explain detailed concepts succintly and understandably. In a genre that's usually repetitive, Beginner's Guide to Repairing Lionel Trains stands out as unique, fresh and useful

This review is from: Beginner's Guide to Repairing Lionel Trains (Paperback)
Good Book but wish it had a little bit more on switch repair.Some of my older switches have bad return springs and the text talks about it but has no diagrams.
