Title: How about a turbine 682
Post by: steamchoochoo on March 03, 2009, 05:27:06 PM
I would like to see a remake of Lionels 682 turbine steam loco with the extra linkage. I'm surprised that it hasn't been done yet. I would hold out for one, sine I have a Lionel 671 and a 681. Would love a 682 remake.

Hi Steam,

We thought about the 682, but the linkage design of the original was always a problem.  It tended to jam.

Regards,

I would still like to see one of these made. That linkage seems so simple, I'm surprised that it has a history of jamming. No simple workaround?
