Product Description
This 96 page, soft cover book contains over 200 drawings, diagrams and pictures to help the novice or experienced toy train operator make needed repairs to trains and accessories. Many of the stories were articles published in O Gauge Railroading magazine over a 10 year period. They have been updated with new drawings and many are followed by letters from readers with comments or suggestions on related subjects. This simple-but-effective book enables you to fix repairs to almost any Lionel piece made from 1945 to 1960. Many tricks originally thought to be difficult or impossible, are explained in detail by a person who was in the manufacturing process when they were made. Whether you are getting your trains out storage after years in the attic or trying to solve a vexing problem, you will probably find the answers here.

This book is a bunch of reprinted questions and answers from "Dr. Tinker's" magazine column. Much of the content is specialized questions. Because of it's format, the book is rather disorganized. You have to read the questions to see if that is what you are interested in. One would expect the first chapter to deal with a history of trains, or some general repair tips. Instead the author chose the self serving subject of one of his inventions, the Nerf Ball. Give us a break! Save your money and time. I sent my copy back.
