coupler repair
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, December 23, 2005 2:14 PM
I recently purchased some 50's vintage lionel train cars. a few have broken or missing coupler parts. Are these repairable or replace the whole truck. If I can repair them where is a good source of parts? I am in central NJ and I have no problems with online ordering. Thanks, John[8D]

Hi John

Yes you should be able to repair them. I don't know what parts are broken. but if you can tell me i will post the part numbers for you. I buy my parts from Lionel and Jeff at the traintender. His E-mail Jeff@ttender.com. Jeff's a good person to deal with
