great forum - looking forward to digging around.

MPC era guy only because i grew up with it.  couple of service station sets, including the first one in 72  1250.  from that set, my 8206 needs some TLC - gears worn in the shaft areas creating some wobble and skipping/locking.  my local shops are now gone - and not active in the local clubs.

i didnt see an MPC era forum - let me know where i should hang out.  and repairs - I can do some of this myself, but parts would be my biggest challenge.

cheers

Hello & Welcome to the Forum

Not a service station set video but an example of an 8206.

The MPC 8206 is a reissue of the PW 665 using that boiler mold and drive train.
Wheel wobble is a known issue with the MPC trains caused by the wheels being drilled off center.

Parts???

The Train Tender
Welcome to The Train Tender - Internet Reference
Welcome to the Train Tender Online. We stock over 6,000 Lionel Train Parts, Post-War Lionel Parts, Pre-War Lionel Parts, American Flyer Parts, and Marx Model Train Parts. There are currently over...
ttender.com

These are some of the places you can locate parts for your trains.

There is no specific MPC/Fundimension era trains sub-forum so General Lionel Discussion or the O scale sub-forums
would be as close as we get until the Conductor adds one.

I have an MPC set myself, a 1972 Jersey Central Freight set with an 8303 locomotive.
I've been into trains since the mid 1950's, but they were Marx Trains and the Jersey set started
me collecting Lionel in 2013.
My Lionel is mainly pre-war tinplate with a 1946 221 Dreyfus as my homage to Post War Lionel.

Happy Rails!
Dave
