I have a Lionel Atlantic 4-4-2 Milwaukee Road locomotive, paired with a Lionel tender marked “2671W-6” and “THE MILWAUKEE RAILROAD”. The tender and locomotive each have a single wire tether that connect the two.
(I have a Lionel type RW transformer (speed/voltage control, Direction and Whistle buttons).
When the two are tethered, and the locomotive is moving, the tender produces chuffing sounds.
Does anyone recognize the type of tender circuit board? Should it be capable of producing a whistle sound?
Here’s what I know -
The transformer speed control produces variable AC voltages as expected.
The Whistle button doesn’t result in a whistle sound; while pressed it increases AC by ~2.0 V, and adds ~0.5 V DC.
I’ve tried adjusting each of the 2 blue variable resisters, but it had no effect on the chuffing sound, and still no whistle.
Any suggestions for getting a working whistle would be appreciated.

I have a Lionel an 8690 Trolley, it was running great up to a couple of weeks ago. The trolley started to stop suddenly in one direction. It appears there is a bind in the wheels. I cleaned and serviced the motor, checked for bent axels, put new brushes in and lubricated it as per manual. It still stops in one direction but runs great in the other. The wheels still lock up as though there is bind in the motor, axels or gears, but I cannot find anything out of alignment. Does anybody have any suggestion?

Recently picked up a Lionel TMCC N&W J Class 600 that needs the 6 pin connector rewired. I checked for the diagrams online, but I couldn't seem to locate what I need for it. If anyone can send me a wiring diagram of the 6 pin connector or send a picture of their 6 pin connector, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Dockside
Yes the rubber stamped numbers over the years do get rubbed off. I have a tank car that I cant identify because someone put a price tag right on it and the glue has blurred it. Search the different ones on the internet and try to match the one you have with what you find. There may be more than 2 but 2 was all I could find.

Hi mtnman, Not for sure. I just paired with 681 engine. The info I came up with, that engine had a 6-wheel tender. I guess it's got to be a 2426W or a 2671W that you mentioned in your replay. I could post a picture, if you would like to see it. I have looked it over many times and there is no number amy place on it. I guess it cot rubbed off somehow. Dockside

Hi Dockside
Have you found an answer yet? Typically the tender numbers are ink stamped in silver on the bottom of the chassis. I do recall 2 postwar tenders with 6 wheel trucks. After searching I cam up with the #2426W which went with the #726 and #723 engines. and the #2671W Pennsylvania Tender possibly paired up with the #671 and #681 engines. Not sure of any more or any newer versions

 I have a Lionel tender, it is a 6 wheel tender with no number to identify it. Would like to know what it is and what engine it came with. Anybody know? Tried to post some pictures of it, but I don't how. Maybe someone could help me with that. Thanks Dockside

Hey there! First timer here and I have a new O Scale FasTrack train set.
I recently purchased the Lionel FasTrack Crossing gates, 6-12062. It comes with two 5" insulated track pieces that go on either side of the crossing. The issue that bugs me is that the loco is almost all the way across the intersection by the time the gates lower.
I want to set this up so the train will trip the crossing about three (10") pieces of track on the approach/before reaching the crossing. Does Lionel sell these 5" or preferably 10" insulated track pieces separately?
If not, does anyone have a workaround trick?
I took a 10" straight track piece and removed the metal jumper plate under the track bed and then used my Dremel to create a splice in the outside rail trying to replicate the 5" insulated piece, but it didn't work. I had watched a YouTube video on how a guy did this but I cant find it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all
I would like for my new layout to have a 1870 look.
Has anyone weathered say the 164 log loader or the sawmill to look like a wood surface?
Thanks

Hi, I am looking for a list or chart listing of Lionel sets by engine number. Does any body know of one? If so, where can I find it?
thanks Dockside
