On thur. 05.09.02,jas.e.smiley <bj.smiley1@juno.com >writes the" lionel
gg1 power failures
 are common"  
this comes from the magna-traction magnets touching the drive wheels  and
consuming too much  engine output. 
my son steve smiley , has fixed 3 engines  and i will probably be running
both of my liberated  gg-1's at the fun run on june 7 & 8 th. the repair
needs good eyes and steady hand .  

 for next x-mas i will try to have an article on the conversion of the
italian o scale Lima coaches to run on 3 rail track .  the lima coaches
require the replacement of the running gear, costom drawbars 3 1/2 "
long and  extensive lite bars to reach around the compartmentalization of
the 1 st class coaches.
the trial run of these coaches will be at the 06.07-8.02 fun run.
