Tim was to get his late father’s Lionel set operational again and would like help or suggestions from readers:

“How do you identify model numbers in Lionel? My father had a Lionel “O” set-up, but he passed away 9 years ago and I am really new at this. I have the set(s) now and want to clean them up and repair where needed. I can not find serial numbers, but there are cab numbers (ie. 681, 8142, 8609, 8040, 1666, etc.), plus 3 without cab numbers. I would appreciate any help from others using Lionel. Thanks for any help.”
