Are there any good books in the Model Train community on repairing your Locomotive? I currently have Maintaining and Repairing your Model Trains, are there any that just focus on the Locomotive repair?

Thanks for all your - Help!!!

Which locomotive?
The construction of Lionel locomotives changed over the years.

I picked up a copy of the Greenberg book at a train show yesterday and it looks GOOD. Everything you need to know about repairing classic, basic, Lionels.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing I know of on how to repair the current “high-tech”, for lack of a better term, products. Considering the advanced circuitry they may be beyond the abilities of “home backshops” to handle.
