Hi all. Thanks Mikey for the neat pictures. What makes me sick is that I have been to Altoona several times years back when I lived in Binghamton, New York, as my brother lived there. I probably passed that curve right up. Never heard of it until I got on this forum. Had my head buried huh...

Hi all. Screwysquirrel, you sure took me in on that one. I was ready to see this old black and white picture of a lionel, with all the boxes sitting there. Guess you had to eat your train. What a waste. Well, at least you did get pictures, and since they are in color, that means you are a...

Hi Steve and all. Steve, Super Glue or it's equivelent will work, but watch it. After applying the glue on the hub, keep end of motor shaft tilted to floor so glue doesn't get into bearings. When the guys told you it could get in the bearings, believe them. I have a tape player (very...

Hi all. Brian, Val, and Jim, thanks for the welcome. As I said in earlier posts, I won't be posting much at first, but then will with questions. Hopefully, eventually, I can help other new members out. Right now, I am a novice who hasn't set up a train in almost 50 years. I see what members...

Hi Steve and all. Well, here is the first piece of one-cent advice from a totally 'been out of it for 50 years' novice. First of all, it is a hobby. Don't let it be a job or a dreaded task. Work a while, quit a while. When I work on my scooters, sometimes it can be very frustrating, and...

Hi all. I just wanted to say thanks again for the warm welcome, and thanks to the additional members who welcomed me on. I will take some pictures of my Lionel soon and will have a lot of questions, especially after I do some reading on here. Got to finish my cooling system, and find...

Hi all, and thanks for the warm welcome. Right now, I just have boxed up HO, and an old whistling Lionel locomotive and tender that I need to take pictures of and get information on. I am thinking of putting up some trains in my new Cushman garage. What a topoff that would be. The trains are...

Hi all. My name is Jack, though I come in under (Allstate81140), and just have a few newbie comments. First of all, I have no idea where the h--l I am on here as far as getting around. Ha ha. However, I will learn. Right now I am busy (retired should explain it) and won't be on here much...

Hi all. Fred, first of all, kids are cute. I am an older guy myself, but cannot believe the lack of interest in most any of today's hobbies, and what was done years ago. I guess some of that comes from the fact that kids today (some) don't read or care in the least about history. I...

Hi Mike. I am new to this group, and after getting my own website caught up some, and appointing a second moderator, I will enjoy posting a lot. I just wrote to say it is rather ironic, the signature you use, as I run a Cushman scooter website, and we are mostly older guys (anywhere between...

Hi Cid, Tommy, and others. Boy, look at that smiling face on a Sunday morning. I apologize for not getting back to you. I am an older guy who still loves all trains. However, being older was in the hospital for a few days and that is why I never replied back. Good to go now, but not...

Hi. I am new to this group, but have a question. I have a Lionel 225E steam loco, that could use a new top. By that I mean my daughter surprised me with this prewar (I guess prewar) engine with a whistling tender. It appears to use spade type hooks for the cars. It was a great...
