Hello out there, “Top Bix” here, I’m in the process of getting a working Lionel 164 made out of 3 junkers I picked up at meets. The repairs are pretty easy and I am having a good time with a good worker just over the hill. My questions are: (1) Are there other log cars out there besides the Lionel 3461 & 3361 that would work with the 164? All brands considered; K-line, MTH, Marx, etc and/or any Mods that might be needed. (2) I’m finding locating drawings/repair details in the references I have found are pretty slim when it comes to the 164. (3) I’m thinking about using DC for the unit, any thoughts on that? The pre-war diagrams seem to be the most detailed, but there isn’t much in the way of repair tips. Wonder if any help or hints are out there! Thanks
