Need Help Rewiring a 282 Operating Gantry Crane

[wrmcclellan]

grumpy - Olsen's can help you with the wire. You can also try authorized Lionel repair shops in your area.

Go to Olsen's site. The schematic diagrams are there.

The 282R mechanical differences are shown here: http://pictures.olsenstoy.com/cd/accs/acc282r1.pdf

The Doctor is In !!! grumpy4, I found what you are looking for: Page #468 of K-Line's
Complete Service Manual for Lionel Trains is the operation & repair pages for the crane. This is what you need to fix and run your crane. I cannot send you this via email(I have not mastered the scanner yet) I can photocopy them for you or you are better off buying the book or the Greenburg repair book. Both are worth the money if you run Post-War Lionel. Hope this helps!

I need to rewire my 282 because the original wires (5 way) dried out and are shorting. Can anyone provide me a wiring diagram for the 282? Is there one in the CTT article in the Feb 2000 volume on p. 130?

[8D]Thanx for the pointers to repair data. The diagram from Olsens is very readable..

Where do people usually purchase multi strand ribbon wire, 18 or 22 gauge braided?
