I got a great deal on an original M 10,000 but it needs new wiring, rollers, a through check up and I don't know what else. Have you guys had good luck with any company? I have had bad luck with my local Lionel service station---long wait time and usually a reply of: "We looked at your train and we don't have the parts to fix it."

Jack,
Try contacting Memory Station in Watkinsville, GA, (706) 769-8986. Lewis is an authorized Lionel dealer and service station. If he can't handle it he may be able to direct you to someone who can.

Hi Jack,

I may be able to help, but info is at home. Will let you know tonight if the printer doesn't kill me first. (see morning coffee)
