224 Vintage SMOKING Lionel Locomotive Restored: All New Smoke Unit Parts, US $95.00, image 1
“This is an original vintage 224 shell. BUT I've changed out the broken steam chest for one from another engine. I've repaired the shorted motor field wire and added a regular Lionel smoke unit that is piston driven. The e-unit works great in both forward and reverse. It is a three position unit: forward - neutral - reverse. I've cleaned and polished the locomotive's and the tender's armatures, and dug out the debris between its stators. Now, both work exceptionally well.”

The 224 shown above now has the following features.
  • I've added a Lionel regular smoke unit which uses a piston & cylinder to puff out smoke.
  • If you look closely in one of the photographs, you can actually see the smoke crank.
  • I've polished the armature stators, removed debris between them.
  • I've cleaned the e-unit so that it works very well.
  • There are new green prisms in its marker lights.
  • The steam chest is from another locomotive because the original had part of its cowcatcher broken off.
  • I've wire-brushed and cleaned the connecting rods and valve gear.
  • One of the valve gears is missing BUT it has been ordered and will be added when it arrives.
  • Using a special procedure, I've removed many nicks, gouges, and worn spots from the original paint.
  • This 224 is lubricated and ready to operate on your layout.
The tender shown above has these features.
  • 1.  An all metal air whistle that blows very easily.
  • 2. It has a middle pickup wheel on each truck.
  • 4.  In the tender's rear, there are now 2-red lights.
  • 5.  There is also a white worklight to brighten the area where a fireman would shovel coal.
  • 6.  I've removed all caked on debris from the tender's wheels.

Sun, 28 Feb 2010

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta debuts at the Geneva Motor Show With only a few days to go until the Geneva Motor Show kicks off, Alfa Romeo has revealed the replacement for the Alfa 147 – the Alfa Romeo Giulietta – in more detail. Yes, we had the first photos of the Giulietta when we didn’t know (and sadly, nor did Alfa) whether this would be the 147 or the 148 or the Milano. But it’s the Alfa Giulietta.

Honda recalls 310,773 Pilots for seatbelt issue

Mon, 12 Sep 2011

Honda is recalling 310,773 copies of the Pilot SUV to fix a problem that could make the driver's or passenger's seatbelts unreliable in a crash. Honda says a manufacturing error with the belts could mean that stitching on some of the models is incomplete where the lap section is connected to the outer anchor, which could cause the belt components to disconnect in an accident. The recall affects 2009- to 2011-model-year Pilots.
