Lionel repair
Posted by oldline1 on Thursday, December 29, 2016 6:30 PM

Well, I have an old 239E Lionel engine I use under the tree every Christmas and I think this will be the last year for the old girl unless I can get it worked over.

Does anyone know of a reliable shop that can rebuild a 1937 (?) Lionel engine and do it right?

Thanks,

Roger Huber

Roger,

    You might try ABC Hobby in Evansville, IN. (812)477-9661, I know he does Lionel repair and has done so for years, you can call and ask there. Mon-Sat 10-6 cst.

 Hope this helps, Ralph

 I think if you go to the Classic Toy Trains section of the forums you will get a lot more answers as that has a lot of Lionel and American Flyer folks over there.

I had a pre-war 0-6-0 worked on after a house fire, so things are still available for them.  Hope they have what you need.

Good luck,

Richard
