I have been around Lionel trains for over forty five years now. I sell, repair and recondition mostly LIONEL postwar trains. I love to return a vintage train to it's original beauty from when it was new both in operation and appearance. I do repair and maintain other manufactures of trains and toys too. I like collecting toys from the 40s through the 70s. Toys I like are Marx playsets, any space toys, pedal cars, Hot Wheel and Matchbox cars, bicycles, and anything fun. I just love vintage toys. My wife thinks I may have a family tree which includes the Claus family. I enjoy giving back to others and helping others out.
