Hi,
I just acquired the Lionel 262 E from my father whom he acquired it from his father in the 1930's Anyway, the locomotive does not run. I had put the engine on my new lionel fasttrack with the 40w transformer and nothing. only thing that works is the light. I took the shell off and OH MAN, what a mess! It seems that the motor is getting power ( I can feel and hear some humming coming from it) and the pick up wheels are touching the third rail. Now further investigating into this mess of wires and found one wire disconnected and I have no idea where it goes. Is there any web site that I can get the wire schematics from? My plan was to get these trains running and give them back to my dad for christmas. Please help! Thanks!!
