Excellent First book for someone new to old Lionel trains
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Written by an enthusist in plain simple language this is an excellent primer for those getting into old Lionel trains for the first time. Nothing to simple for the Author to comment on. The Author’s love of the subject is obvious and the book rates a 5 star award
A Great Introduction
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This book allowed me to take a box of old trains and tracks that hadn’t been used in over 30 years and get it going again with only a few hours of work.
Pay $14.00 not $139.00
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Don’t pay $140.00, I paid $14.00 plus change. I called amazon customer service about the price, but just got an (It’s Not My Problem). They said I needed to call the seller’s which were not associated with amazon.
Well, I called around and finally got the book for $14.00 and change. This does not include shipping as it will very depending on where you live.
The place is called The Western Depot Model Railroad Needs located in CA
Good luck, but don’t pay the quoted price.
Great Intro Book to Lionel Trains/Repair
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This book not only will help you learn to repair Lionel trains, but it also serves as a great introduction to Lionel for the newcomer. Very easy read, but packed with info.
Good Starter Book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Good Book but wish it had a little bit more on switch repair.Some of my older switches have bad return springs and the text talks about it but has no diagrams.
Excellent manual for running Postwar Lionel trains
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Perhaps the best book of its type, the postwar Lionel train owner should have it in his library. It tells how to bring those old trains back to life, run them and enjoy them. Beyone rudimentary repair is everything from layouts to wiring to operating accessories. The author has the ability to explain detailed concepts succintly and understandably. In a genre that’s usually repetitive, Beginner’s Guide to Repairing Lionel Trains stands out as unique, fresh and useful
“Beginner’s Guide” is an accurate title!!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
A reasonable value if you are a true beginner to the subject. Author assumes reader has absolutely no knowledge on the subject, even including a chapter on how to open a box with trains inside. Nevertheless, the book does contain some very good basic and vital information for the beginner. The title says it all – ” Beginner’s Guide”.
