I Restored a train that was in 3 floods! - Lionel 736 Berkshire (Post War)

This Lionel Post-War engine was given to me several years ago by a distant family member. She said that the engine was left in a basement through 3 major flood events from lake effect snow.

I was tired of seeing this engine with all its rust and scrapes, It was time for a full restoration of this classic toy train!

The light and smoke unit wires were replaced with modern wiring. The smoke unit was upgraded to use liquid smoke fluid. The original internals of the smoke unit were completely caked from someone adding liquid smoke while smoke pellet material was still inside the smoke bowl. All was clean and replaced with the conversion kit.

The shell, front, and trailing truck were stripped using "Aircraft Strip" paint stripper. Auto paint was then used to ensure a durable paint job that will last many more years to come.

The motor and other electronics were left original due to their working status.
