Default Light Controls '29

Suggestions please...our center light switch is on for lights but when the wheel is turned, the lights go out until the wheel is back to center. Can't drive it at night like this...can anyone (this is funny, because I know you can and willingly will ) help with suggestions. Thank you all in advance. Kris

You have binding in the steering column shaft. You may have to remove the horn rod/light switch and clean the tube, and make sure the horn rod is straight. Make sure the thin brass bushing is at the top of the steering tube and lightly lube the horn rod as you reinstall it.

I wish that was my train! I couldn't live long enough to afford such an engine. Even a 1/4 scale would be a lot of fun.

Hang on to your horses. The way the gas prices are going we will all need to go back to them and they will become more valuable than Model A's.
