Lionel lines trains are fun to play with. They are nice to hold in your hands and run them over the tracks. Personally, I get most satisfaction from restoring pre-war cars and engines that I obtain as overpainted, rusted wrecks and like to turn them into shining gems. This blogsite tells you about my evening hours.

SD 28 C&O diesel
This SD28 diesel engine is an excellent runner (Lionel 18834, blt. 1994). It has six powered wheels and is able to run at very low speeds. I let it run with a group of box cars (9706, 9715, 9426), a depressed flat car and a caboose (9167). The 9426 is by far the nicest box car. The depressed car is restored and still unnumbered. I reacon that it could either have been a search light car or a transformer car. Since, the car arrived in poor state and the numbers were unreadable, I just painted it nicely and left it unnumbered for the time being.
