Anyone know of a guide or book that can help with repairs on the Tyco/Mantua lines. I don't even know where to oil these trains.

Thanks, Robert

Just ask us questions. I'm soon to be releasing a Tyco/Mantua repair manual. Just don't hold your breath!

Keep in mind: I've been around long enough that recently means in the last 30 years, Model Railroader has "recently" had books on maintaining/repairing trains. These won't give specifics for Tyco, but the general principles will be the same.

If you're not familiar with hoseeker.net he has a lot of catalogs and some instruction for many old (not just Tyco) trains
