I had previously posted a question regarding a Lionel 2025 locomotive in which the smokestack was no longer smoking. Following some advice I tried the smoke pills instead of the liquid, which we had been using. Still no smoke. I would like to get it working again. One of the posts suggested that the heating coil may need repair or replacement. Can anyone suggest somewhere we can take it to be repaired, as close as possible to KILLEEN TEXAS? Thanks in advance
The closest I know of is Collectible Trains and Toys in north Dallas. You could ship it to them.
San Antonio is not close, but closer than Dallas:
I am not sure how good the repair department is at Lone Star in San Antonio. I recommended CTT in Dallas because I know they have a good repair department even if they are further away. If he doesn’t mind shipping I suggest Chuck Strator at Mizzels hobbys in Denver.
I am in Austin, I can replace the pill type heating element or convert it to use liquid smoke. It will cost about $15.00.
