Repairing a Circa 1950’s Lionel Locomotive
Posted by reasearchhound on Wednesday, February 2, 2022 7:21 PM

My wife was talking to one of her cousins today and he mentioned he has a Lionel locomotive from around 1950 in need of repair and wondered if I could recommend a place to send it to. I couldn't help him but told him I'd ask about it. He lives outside of Pittsburg though that likely doesn't matter much. If any of you have a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.

About 28 miles north of Pittsburgh there's:

CT McCormick Hardware, 147 S. Main St., Zelienople PA.  724-452-6130  Website is www.cttrains.com  I don't know if they do repairs but it doesn't hurt to ask.

50 miles north of Pittsburgh there's:

The Underground Railroad Shoppe, 1906 Wilmington Rd, New Castle PA.  724-652-4912.  Website www.undergroundrrshop.com  e-mail  trainplum@yahoo.com  

I'm pretty sure he DOES do repairs, again ask.  

Best of luck to your wifes cousin!  Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info Flintlock. Both places are fairly close to where he lives (Aliquippa).
