My Lionel #1045 Flagman took a beating back in the 1940's when |
|
my brother and I were kids. I just found my old Lionel train |
|
set along with this Lionel accessory that was wrapped up Detroit |
|
newspapers, The Detroit Times, dated December 1954, packed away |
|
in my basement! That was a long time ago and now I would like |
|
to get that old train set out and working for our great |
|
grandsons to enjoy like my brother and I did years ago. The 1045 |
|
Flagman that is made from plastic, is broken from its metal |
|
stand, opened up exposing the right arm with a metal shaft and |
|
weight. All electrics are missing. I would like to know what |
|
these were so I can replace them. I suspect a solenoid or some |
|
such thing that I could make could work. Any ideas or best yet, |
|
a photo of what was inside of the Flagman. I have everything |
|
else in the base including the 1045C tract connector. My |
|
brother would be proud! Thanks guys, Karl |
