MIKE RAYMOND WILL STILL DUE REPAIRS AFTER STORE HAS CLOSED. Originally from Chicago were the cold winters lead to warm days in the basement running trains, Mike still has his original Lionel Train Set that he received decades ago. In 2001 Mike attended the only west coast training school for technicians put on by MTH Trains in Los Angeles and became an authorized MTH service center technician. When one of his children moved out for the second time he seized the moment to take over the bedroom and put up his train layout. Mike runs Lionel TMCC: conventional and MTH PS-1, PS-2 trains on his layout with the MTH DCS and Lionel TMCC system. We want to thank Mike for continuing with repairs after the closing of our store. You make contact Mike after 6:00 p.m. M-Sat. To set up an appointment, he may be reached at: (707) 578-1198.
Tired of replacing your engines battery? Well change it for the last time, replace it with the power from a "BCR" (Battery Component Replacement) device. When you store or display your engines for awhile and then decide to run them, you may find that the MTH engine will not operate, or your MTH sound system will not shut down properly because of a dead battery. The "BCR" (battery replacement device) is essentially a capacitor. A capacitor stores electrical charges. Now you will have sufficient power to run your locomotives without worrying about whether or not your engines electronics are being damaged by a low battery. So use a "BCR" not a battery.
