On a whim last night I purchased a what looks to be an in box 12922 gantry crane. I had a post war one years ago and it frankly never worked very well. Wiring was cracked and just didn't work right. I don't believe this comes with a magnet so I am interested in adding one if possible and maybe mobilizing the gantry. I don't see much out there but I am probalby looking in the wrong place. Thanks, Bob
Hi folks, I received the 12922 Ganty Crane as advertised. NIB but the hook up and down didn't work. The motor ran but no up and down. I went ahead and disassembed the unit. The small o-ring had dried out and broken. I checked on the Lionel site and it said no serviceable and parts not available. I remembered I had ordered some extra traction tires and went to the parts bin. A bit wider and maybe a bit less in diameter but it fit on and the unit is back working great. Don't believe Liionel.
I am still looking for a new or used electromagnet. I have seen some but the wiring looks pretty bad. Can one replace the wiring uup to the magnet? Any sources for new ones???? Thanks, Bob
