Thank you Hobo Bills. I bought a train for my husband for under our tree 8 years ago when our first grandchild was born. This year it wasn't working right. My husband wanted to throw it away and purchase a new one. I saw Hobo Bill's sign in downtown Glendale and reluctantly my husband took it there. Yesterday he picked it up, Hobo Bill was unable to repair it. But he told my husband it was because Lionel wouldn't sell the parts. But he told my husband to call Lionel, they might be able to help him. My husband called Lionel today and they are replacing the non working engine!!!! NO CHARGE! Thank you so much Hobo Bill! What an honest and helpful shop! We so appreciate you and want everyone to know that you are the very best!!!!
