TMCC And legacy

I work on all O and S gauge trains, steam, diesel, TMCC and Legacy and have been an authorized Lionel Repair Station since 2010.

Poor maintenance can cause mechanical or electrical issues that can cause an engine to run poorly or not run at all, requiring repair. Model trains that are not operated for many years or not stored properly are also candidates for maintenance. I have a complete repair shop where I repair model trains including pre-war, post-war and the new engines with the latest electronics. Pease do NOT ship any repair work to me without contacting me in advance to discuss your needs.

  • All repairs are guaranteed for 30 days. The repair warranty is for labor only. 
  • All items should be shipped with insurance and will be returned with insurance if approved by customer. I will not be held liable or responsible for items in transit. 
  • An estimate, based on initial analysis, will be provided for customer approval via email or by phone. There may be a minimum charge for the estimate depending on extent of the issue and will be waived if work is to be accomplished.
  • I test all work statically with various pieces of electronic equipment and test run your engine on a layout when I am finished with the repairs.
  • Also available are AF parts.

I accept PayPal, checks and cash but do not accept credit cards.

TMCC and Legacy

I am an Lionel Authorized Repair Station trained by Lionel to repair all of their engines equipped with TMCC, Legacy or Bluetooth systems. Because of the nature of most repairs on these engine types, it is generally not easy to accurately diagnose the problems over the phone without seeing the equipment. Sometimes re-programming the engine to the manufacturer’s specifications will solve some issues. This is a different process from programming your engine for an engine number. I can help you through the process if you are not sure how to accomplish this.
