This is a really great Lionel Trainmaster late production MODEL R. It has all the features of REAL MODEL R including the riveted name plate, updated resistors across the whistle controls, newer circuit breaker, and most importantly, the riveted coil laminations. The riveted coil laminations are by far the most important feature of the MODEL R as it makes for quieter operation and less heat buildup. (Beware of those calling theirs a Model R just because it has the riveted coil laminations; A true Model R must have ALL the above mentioned features!). I have just finished servicing this unit, which includes complete disassembly, cleaning and polishing of all interior parts. Re-lubed where required. All solder joints have been re soldered. 4 new rollers and rivets installed. New 8 foot 16ga. cord installed, New 16 amp stud diodes installed to insure great whistle sounds. Circuit breaker has been tested and operates to factory specs. (I do not like to replace the original CB unless I have to. I have much more faith in the original units which were made in Chicago, or many by Texas Instruments, than I do the newer Chinese ones being put into these lately as replacements)! Coil has been cleaned and tested for any dropouts along the entire voltage range. All wire terminals have been checked for tightness, and any suspect ones were replaced. read more
