That's a 20 year old Erie passenger set (which makes it an MPC, not an LTI). If you haven't, I'd check the lubrication first. If it still does not run, I suggest you go to Lionel's web site (http//lionel.com) and select your way into customer service. You can write them a message explaining your situation or you can call them Wednesday through Friday. They do reply to e-mail. They will probably want to swap the existing chassis for the current version -- which will be an excellent move because the original Eries are very pretty, but real dogs operationally. The folks in Chesterfield are usually pretty helpful, so give it a try. RB S-Trains list sponsor: http://www.americanflyertrains.com All the Flyer you desire...books and accessories too!
