Help with repair
Posted by DAVID FORTNEY on Wednesday, September 21, 2016 1:22 PM

Anybody in the near Philadelphia that could do a couple of light repairs to a couple of Rivarossi ho locomotives for me? 

It would be just some  lube and adding led headlights. Both are DC only. 

I have  Parkinson's which makes it impossible for me to do close work. 

Im willing to pay shipping both ways and a fee for your help.

thanks,

Dave

You could call Lins Junction and ask them to give you a price.  They are in Lansdale. http://linsjunction.com/

Ask to speak with Paul.  You can tell him that Mr. Y referred you (unless something goes wrong, in which case the Secretary knows nothing.)

What type of Rivarossis need work?  If you’re not apposed to shipping them across the country I’m very familiar with the Rivarossi articulateds, I have 19 of them.
