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

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!

Repairing a Circa 1950’s Lionel Locomotive

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.
