General Lionel Model Train Discussion / What is remote control of train
« on: October 27, 2014, 04:32:45 pm »
I have a 40 to 50's era of Lionel O trans a passenger and steam locomotive.  It has the power transformer that came with it.  I heard about what I believe is a remote control module that the newer trains come with.  I don't know anything about them but was wondering if it would be beneficial to retrofit my trains or leave well enough alone.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

General Lionel Model Train Discussion / Track Question
« on: October 27, 2014, 09:53:27 am »
I have an old train (+60years)  set that I haven't unpacked in years.  It is a O gauge (three rails per track) and These tracks were subject to corrosion and the pins were rusted and some very hard to keep in the track thus it didn't make a good connection. 

I have seen some newer tracks that seem to be a better quality to alleviate the above problems but I don't have a name or brand of the best product out there.

I would appreciate any suggestions / recommendations for new track and if old tracks can be restored to their original condition.

Thanks
