Greenburg's Repair and Operating Manual for Lionel Trains 1945-1969

[sir james I]

It is a good book and everyone with more than a few PW trains should own one. I will mention that K-Line also published what appears to be  a carbon copy of the book. I don't know which came out first though.

Hi fellow train people. I'm a relatively new poster here on CTT Forum but after a short while I noticed something. Different people are repeat posting about basics like lubricating, caring and running their PW Lionel livery. When I got back in the hobby in 99 the owner of the local hobby shop recommended that I buy this book. I was in there to get an Eunit replaced and he mentioned that it wasn't hard to do and it would save me big bucks rather than having his techs do it. He was right! It was all laid out in black and white for me to follow. Anyone who has PW Lionel should really consider getting one of these. It covers, in my opinion, everything a newbie or a veteran needs to keep our valueable toys in good shape. I got mine from the local hobby shop for 21.95 and it was worth every penny. I would suggest that you don't settle for a substitute. This book is the bible and it's proven itself over the years to have what  you need to "keep 'em runnin'!. It covers all of the Lionel stuff in that period as stated above, accessories, engines, rolling stock, operating accessories, disassembly and servicing of locomotives, servicing Eunits, smoke generators, troubleshooting shorts, open circuits, lack of power, I gotta tell ya, it's a winner for all! After you get one how about posting about the first time it saved you money or just made you feel good because you did it yourself.  Oscar

PS. I don't work for Kalmbach but the people who wrote this book do, like Roger Carp, Kent Johnson and Terry Thompson to name a few. Same people who publish CTT wrote this book. That's good credentials for sure.
