I know aboult the sout sets haveins problms but did the sets with 0-4-0 switchers have the same. I have the last prewar catlog and it has a few 0-4-0 sets in it priced as high as some of the 2-4-2 sets did this carry over to the postwar era as the 2-4-2’s did, and did the 0-6-0’s go from 1941 to 1980’s the last one lionel made in their “toy” (pre & postwar) was the B-6 I think. I just wainted to know because I am going to a BIG flee market Sunday and one might pop up. The new 0-8-0’s Lionel is making haw are those mach up to the 0-6 and 4-0’s made in the past? Thanks!
The prewar and postwar switchers used motors that were very different than scout motors.
Some of the motors will not work properly on O gauge track, or on modern 027 track. The model that immediately comes to mind is the 1655.
If you can find a 1656, or a 1615, they both run nicely on both o and 027 track.
