Gentlemen,

A friend of ours has an old Lionel standard gauge train that belonged to her husband. The engine is a Lionel 402. She asked my to look it over and clean it. The cleaning will be pretty straight forward but I have found that the insulation on the wires has hardened and much of it has fallen off. Before I get too deep into this I would like to have a wiring diagram so I don't make any errors when I replace the wires I hope to replace them one at a time but I have to remove the motor units and that means disconnecting several wires at a time. Does anyone have a decent wire diagram for this engine? I really want to take good care of it and get it done right the first time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

I thought that I should just have my own thread with these question in it then starting up a new thread each time.

So for today....

Where can I buy small steel rod?
The kind that I would poke up through the layout to move the points of my turnout (HO). I looked all over at Home Depot, no luck.

I ran across a link today that the older, mature gentlemen (spelled Geezer) may find very interesting. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.objflicks.com">http://www.objflicks.com</a><!-- m -->

It's actually 6' long by 3'-2" wide. Also, it's not really to scale but I've tried to be as accurate as I can -- the shape of the two sidings is not that accurate but you should get the idea. I already have a 3x4 layout that I think I could expand into this layout. The inner loop should be ideal for my small British tank engines and 4-wheel freight cars. Only 2-3 of my locos can't cope with the outside 15R curves.

Please let me know your thoughts on this -- I'm trying to make a very compact HO layout as a "side project".

Thanks in advance. I might add a few more details/comments here later.

Hi All,

While searching around the net i found this site with large drawings of locos ..... superb for references ........ some of the images are large but if saved to your pictures go to a good useable size.

Hi All,

A buddy of mine would like to know if Burlington Northern ever ran the EMDE6A in their paint as it could be a repaint for him after a search he has come up with nothing any pictures of them if they exist would be welcome ...

May 9th is a day to remember. Why?? This is the date set for the Grand Opening of the CSX-B&O-C&O rail road museum. It is located in Clifton Forge, VA., where CSX has their railyard. They have restored some old passenger coaches, and have others to be restored. They are also restoring some cabeese, and some box cars. They are building a switching tower, which will be open to the public, so they can watch the switch engines as they build consists. They have also converted the old railroad station into a nice museum. There will be other goings on as well. So mark this day on your calendar, and we'll see you there.
Here's some photos to whet your curiosity:            

Well i completed another auto-carrier last night. Well i didnt really complete it, they bth still needs to be weathered an decaled for a private hauler.... Anyways, i finished adding on the details, and im quite happy with how this one turned out.

This one is a Promotex Kenworth T-600 with a Flat Top Sleeper. I added Front Fender Mirrors, Diamond Tread Frame Crossover Platform and Frame Crossover steps, as well as the supplied Promotex Cab Mirriors, Horns, and Grabs. I also moved the fifth wheel back on the frame. The Auto-Rack was custom fitted on the cab, and like the other, the trailer is a Walthers Auto-Carrier. Here are 5 pics of the new one and 6 more of the other one, the Mack CH603 Day Cab Auto-Carrier:

Here is a PC photo that I have just come by. It was taken down the road a piece at Carthage Indiana in Sept 1974. Carthage is now isolated trackage as it has been severed at both ends.
