I have been collecting and or running toy trains since I was a young child. Mostly Lionel O Gauge and Standard Gauge. Now I collect mostly modern scale trains. I do like to restore pre and postwar trains for myself and friends.

Unfortunately I do not currently have possession of my basement. My two girls do and they don’t seem to want to give the whole thing up! Something about playing Wii games. Go figure!

Meanwhile my oldest has gone off to college and the second will follow in about 1 year. To keep myself busy while waiting for them to move on I have become very good at repairing and restoring Lionel trains. To raise money for collecting I’ve become specialized at repairing postwar  ZW’s and most other transformers for friends - hence the name Tranz4mr. Visit the ZW pages for some cool hints
and upgrade tips.

Visit the Blog/Comments page to ask questions, post, or leave feedback. I’ll try to keep it up to date. Or send me an email.

Thanks for stopping by.
