Finding a frame for my PW trainmaster?

[Munster518]

Im looking for a frame with a clean battery box for my postwar lackawanna trainmaster. I tried ebay, and a few trainparts distributers but with no luck. My trainmaster has some battery damage inside so Im looking for another frame if possible. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to someone that might have one. Thanks

John

I tried to clean the compartment with a dremel tool but with no luck[:(]

Hello John! Try Warren's Model Trains or Dr.Tinker's Toy Train Parts. Both of them have websites & should have what you're looking for. Take Care.

There's an FM frame on eBay now:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Lionel-2321-43X-FM-Frame-Complete_W0QQitemZ6050488967QQcategoryZ4146QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

As I post, it has 4 days, 10 hours to go.

And, just as an additional comment, if that frame doesn't suit you, or you don't win it, keep looking. Trainwise, at least, everything turns up on eBay ... again and again. FM frames come up now and then --I'd say I've seen several over the last year or so. Keep checking. And BTW, search FM, not just Trainmaster -- for some reason, by far most listings are for FM. Searching Trainmaster gets you mostly transformers (though, of course, you can exclude those listings).

Also, searching for "Train Master" might work better than "Trainmaster", since the former was the spelling that Fairbanks-Morse used.
