[quote user="8ntruck"] I get a kick out of something on e-bay being described as 'rare' when the search on that item turns up 15 of them. [/quote] The ZW comes to mind... these are frequently described as rare! Rob
I once saw a Lionel instruction manual for a 1033 or 1044(maybe even a 4090) that showed how to connect two of them in series. I think it was to show how to get more voltage to run Standard Gauge trains with postwar & newer transformers. If I recall, the 2nd transformer was used for it's 5 volt fixed taps only in the circuit diagram. Rob

The shoes are not symmetrical. Are they installed correctly? Rob
[quote user="Kooljock1"]Which is easier? Taking apart and replacing the drum and fingers on an e-unit, or replacing it with electronic reverse?[/quote] $10.00(drum & both contacts - easy to find) vs. $45.00(if you can find them) for the parts on an AC motor... if you have to buy them. $13.50 for the DC reversing unit, which has to be replaced as a whole. And there are so many different can motors... Rob
[quote user="alank"]So to clear this all up, what we have to do now, is spin off the Lionel Corp., [/quote] Lionel liquidated and went out of business in 1993-1994. It is GONE( "W - E - N - T" ). Rob
[quote user="lionroar88"] Forgot to mention - there are also horn actuators, but I have not seen these in years. [/quote] The Lionel 5606 Sound Activation Button should work just fine for this application. Lionel has them in the parts department, and many dealers probably do too. Chuck Sartor, I believe, has stated he has them in stock. Rob
[quote user="cwburfle"] It wasn't uncommon to be able to obtain parts for items that were thirty years old or more in the 1970's. [/quote] Lenny Dean published a comprehensive parts list in 1970 with many Standard Gauge parts still in stock at Hillside. Rob
[quote user="IDM1991"]What is the great mystery behind this affair? The Lionel Corporation as it existed between 1900 and 1994 is seen by many to be a polar opposite of "Lionel, LLC" as it has existed since 1995... [/quote] You are confusing a conglomerate Corporation that once made trains until 1970(Lionel - dissolved in 1994) with several other parties - licensees, manufacturers, rights holders, & importers. General Mills, Fundimensions, & Kenner Parker did not own Lionel
