what do you mean by service would you need to service a modern lionel train?
I received these three passenger cars as a gift and I purchased the engine today on eBay. I plan to make a video with my father-in-law, born in 1916 (going strong) and my set. In our throw-away society, I respect survivors, both trains and persons.

Thanks for the vid, I have a 3217 and a 3218 and they both still run great with all their original wiring and brushes as well. Just cleaned the motors and all was fine. In regards to the first comment, for pity's sake, what's to restore? This thing looks great! Postwar train guys amaze me!
