Union Pacific RR delivers to their customer Economy Lumber here in Campbell, California. I tried to control their TMCC locomotive with my Lionel Cab-1L controller but it didn't work. Maybe my batteries were weak? 🚂

So my VISION GS-1 works on Lionel Fastrack with an MTH Z-1000 controller. Everything worked out fine for the first day I ran it. Unfortunately, however, the firebox glow does not work anymore. Can anyone help me diagnose the problem at all?

This is my Lionel train set which I was given as a gift as a child around 1987-88. It gave me and my younger siblings (I'm the oldest of 5) lots of joy every Christmas as children. I believe the train and most of the accessories are from the 1970s (the older transformer's manual says Oct 21...

Hello, My first post here! When we set up our Lionel 6-31960 Polar Express train around the Christmas tree this year, the CW-80 transformer made buzzing noise and the train did not move. The green light came on, and the engine made humming noise like it was about to go but did not move. The...

Greeting all, I have recently acquired a 1946 Lionel #164 Log Loader. I was able to get the motor and lifting mechanism cleaned, lubed and running exceptionally well. The "off-loader" is a different story. The solenoid fires ok. However, the cams seem to have to much play between them...

I have just switched to the Cab-2 Legacy control. I replaced a Cab-1L/Base-1L system. I cannot get the Cab-1L to connect to the legacy base. I have tried changing channels. When I do this I get three beeps from the CAB-1L indicating the base was not found. The Cab-1L/Base-1L combination works...

I picked up a Lionel Type 4050 60-W transformer and the speed control when in the off position still has power. I have never worked on a transformer before, does anyone have a resource on how I might fix this problem. Other than not going to "off" the transformer does not hum or get hot -- it...

I recently purchased a 2328 at a train show. Ran great on the test track but after I got it home and ran it for 1 minute I could smell an electrical short. The horn also does not work. Does anyone know where to find the wire layout for it? Also any suggestions on troubleshooting and...
