Hello Iruleyou05! Olsen's toy train parts has rubber stamps for postwar engines. Call them at: 1-216-226-0444 & see if they can help you out. Take Care.

Well, This is a 244 Chassis and assembly, that was retrofitted to fit into a 6110, and vise versa. So basically, it started as a 6110, and now has all the workings of a 244, im just wondering about the stamp, and where i could get it, also, since you happen to have a book, heres my other loco's...

Welcome Iruleyou05,

Not sure if you would want to spend much money on this locomotive as Greenberg's Priceguide gives a rather low monetary figuire to this locomotive, $32.00 as high price for one in excellant condition.
Look around and see if you can find a replacement motor that fits your frame. I did this with a Lionel 235 Scout locomotive and converted it to DC as the motor fit in rather good and the 235's motor was worn out and the other locomotive's shell was damaged by heat and was no good.

2 Questions...
Where Can I Find A List Of Dates Ect.. Of lionel Trains and their production Dates? .If anyone has one, i can just post all my model #'s here...a

And Also, My 6110 Retrofit numbers are hardly there, and was wondering if anyone knows a good place to get the stamp to redo them, i already know where to get the ink, and Just For Fun, Since its a Completely Different Motor Assembly, i want to find a place maybe that can make it Say "6110-C" (6110 Custom)

Thanks,
Iruleyou05
