Talk:Lionel Corp.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] this article needs updating
The Lionel website claims that, as of 1st of May 2008 they are now out of Bankruptcy and are now back in business, so I'm guessing no longer defunct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.1.155.56 (talk) 18:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
This is a very fine article.
[edit] the maintenance section needs to be improved
I'll leave the editing to those who know this subject better than I do, but the information in the maintenance section doesn't seem very good. The article says that an older locomotive will probably run if put on clean track and then gives instructions on track cleaning. This is incomplete advice. You will probably need to clean the wheels and the copper electric pick-up on the locomotive before it will run. The article never mentions cleaning the electric pick-ups on the locomotive. It seems likely that including this information in
the article will really help people to get the train to go around
the tree at Christmas time.
