Best Lionel Service Station? None near me!!!
Posted by FEClionel on Tuesday, August 23, 2005 11:21 PM
As you may read earlier I purchased a dud Lionel 6-18130 Santa Fe 2343 F3 from Ebay last. After inspect I noticed a wire leading from motor 1 is burnt. I need get this item up and running as soon as possible. Who do you all recommend? I live in South Florida where train shops are few and far between let alone a Service Station. ----- Any Thoughts???------

Did you purchase this 'new' or 'used'.

Lionel should be able help you out.

Or you could try fixing it your self.

Hi
I can inspect your engine if you want.
I repair all my trains and they runs.

My advice would be to check in CTT and look for those dealers who advertise having a full service center. Contact a few and compare the rates and any feedback from those forum members who have used their services.
