paint & marker lights

[Anonymous]

Could some tell me where I might be able to purchase the black paint lionel used on the locomotives in the fourties and fifties. Also where I might purchase repair marker lights for the 1656 engines. I live in fresno, Ca

   Thanks Engineman

For parts, try http://www.hobbysurplus.com/lionelparts.asp or http://pictures.olsenstoy.com/

For paint, http://www.trainenamel.com/Lionel%20Colors.htm.  The question will be "What is the name of the color you need?"  There are several blacks.  For example "225 Black Satin" or "260 Gloss Black".
