About LocoMods
What I Do.....
My primary business is in the repair, modification and sales of electric trains. As a retired electrical engineer with some additional time as a technician and as an electrical technology instructor, I have a great deal of experience and find tremendous enjoyment in repairing and modifying electric trains due to their electro - mechanical nature. I have met many great people on eBid and eBay and also do a direct business out of my shop in Atchison, Kansas with customers in 14 countries. A Google search will tell you more about LocoMods.I also will be pleased to help you sell your items on a consignment basis, or will gladly give you a fair offer to purchase your items outright. I have purchased and sold items ranging from a few dollars to over 50,000 dollars.
My passion is electric trains, but I have dealt in a variety of antiques, radio controlled airplanes and associated equipment, and have even sold a full sized aircraft.
How I got started.....
I just got too old to fly radio controlled airplanes and revived my other strong interest: railroading. I sold most of my well preserved new and used RC dealer stock and "rolled" (pun intended) the $ into trains and am about half finished on my layout which has more than 700 feet of track.I collect Lionel from all eras, and my older locomotives all operate well, but I primarily operate MTH PS2.0 and Lionel TMCC on my layout. Once in a while I will place an 80 or so years old set on the track and take it for a spin. My electrical engineering and steam power plant background helped steer my direction.
I sell directly out of my shop as well as on eBid and eBay, so feel free to contact me with any special needs. I especially enjoy doing modifications and upgrades such as the MTH dcs PS2.0 upgrades to MTH, Lionel, Williams, Weaver, K-Line and other locomotives. No job is too small, so if you just want a custom headlight or horn installed, I can do that too.
Please feel free to give me a call or send me an email with your question or need. I thoroughly enjoy sharing this wonderful family hobby and helping others find the pleasure that I do.
