  Jim Weatherford, CTT’s former Q&A columnist, offers an extensive line of how-to repair articles for postwar Lionel trains. Available are a series of articles in four general categories: locomotives, tenders, accessories, and operating cars. Each article contains detailed instructions, close-up images, tool lists, and testing and re-assembly instructions. Articles are on a CD and are in an e-book format (reader software is included). Mac users need to use a PC emulation program. Prices vary by complexity: a repair article for the no. 736 Berkshire costs $14.75 and a repair article for the no. 3469 coal dump car costs $7.95. Shipping to the continental U.S. costs $2. For the complete list and more, go to jwtrains.com ."

The article has step by step information on how to maintain bring your Lionel train collection out of storage. If you are going to store your trains for a while or if you are going to bring them out of storage you need this article. The information  can be applied to other brands of 027 - 0 Gauge trains, HO and garden railroads.

 I used this new article to bring a set out of storage. Jim's don a good job on making it easy to use.
