Hello & Welcome to the Forum!
Nice score, I love the 2026. Looks like it's missng the front truck, but otherwise it appears to be in good shape.
A little rust and chips, shows the play it has seen over the years.
Clean her up, lube her and put her on the rails.

The transformer, make sure the cord is in good condition, if not replace it.

The 1656, clean her up, lube her and put her on the rails.

3 rail track is readily available, both new and used.

Check out the Lione Maintenance & Repair sub-forum. You shoud find what you need to know about cleaning and lube there.

For parts, see Forum Member Bill Hennings web site, Hennings trains.
There are other shops/sites too, but am puttng in a plug for a fellow forum member.

We look forward to your coming adventures. Keep us posted.

Happy Rails!
