Is it possible to edit (or delete) our own posts. To correct any errors we identify after it is posted.

You won't be able to edit your posts directly, but if you make a mistake that's really embarrassing or gives incorrect info, e-mail one of the editors directly (click on "contact us" in the bar at the bottom of the page)and we can fix it for you. But I think everyone will be forgiving about simple typos, and you can just add a second post correcting something you might have goofed up the first time. This is an informal exchange of information. Precise typing and editing skills are not required to be a part of this forum.

How do post a question? I am trying to find a coal tender and cars for a lionel engine #221 made about 1946. It was set that I had as a child and I am trying to restore the set.
