The electric pickup shoes on a used LGB locomotive I recently purchased catch on the rail joints. Unlike photos of replacement shoes, the ones on my locomotive are flat--not turned up on the ends. Could this be the problem and can it be fixed by attempting to bend the forward and trailing...

Is there any recommended recurring maintenance for LGB Turn-outs used outdoor? I have one installed (purchased new) back in April with an EPL drive. Worked fine until recently - now it sometimes fails to open/close fully. I've also seen comments in posts regarding placing cement board or...

I’ve been thinking about using an 18 or 20 volt Dewalt battery to power my rails on an LGB outdoor railroad. Amazon has an adapter that takes the battery to a positive and negative wire, and with a 5012N throttle I’m thinking there’s a chance... Is there a sparky that has done this? Do I...

I have a lot of LGB locomotives and cars, German and Swiss models mostly. I also have a lot of track, switches, etc., and several G-Scale buildings, German and Swiss. I WANT TO GIVE ALL OF THIS TO A G-SCALE club or group or individual. I live in Iowa, and the trains all belonged to my late...

I will soon be in possession of a Polo 940 crossing gates. Understanding what makes the gates go up and down is a bit of a mystery. They are electric and I need to know what type of switch the train can trigger in order for the gates to operate correctly. Anyone with knowledge of this old...

Hello all, I am new to the forum but not new to g scale railroading. To the question at hand, I picked up a LGB 2017 d engine and powered tender in a small lot of LGB stuff. I enjoy these little engines because they're good runners and was excited to add a power tender to my collection...

Found my problem with the Stainz. Motor is toast. Turns a bit stiffly, does not respond with power applied directly to the two copper tangs that go to the brushes..Before I try to source an OEM motor, is there a suggested upgrade motor for the task?

I just bought a well worn Stainz 0-4-0 and went to test it. Using a Bachman 3amp variable power supply, the voltage goes up, the amps stay at zero. I even hooked up the power by a set of test leads to the skates. No joy. I've used this power supply on LGB locos in the past and there was no...

I use LGB's MTS III to power my railroad. I am in the process of wiring up a reverse loop and wye and need to bring my main power feeder to various points on the layout. I also want to set things up so I can power building lights and other accessories in the future. I own a LGB Distribution...

I am new to the forums, and there are no threads on how to install an LGB 65001 in a 2019s mogul. So, I decided to do it myself. Can anyone tell me a step-by-step installation of the Sound Unit? Grant

Hi, I have a 25192 C&S #7 Mogul, and a few years back it had a few issues where it needed to have it's soundboard removed. I want to have a new one installed. Do you know where I could find one? Thank you.
