Review: In December 2013 before Christmas I took 2 Lionel Steam engines and a transformer to A.B. Charles co. for repairs and cleaning. One of these Engines and the transformer were made in the 1930s or 1940s. they were willed to me from a close family friend when [redacted] died in 1958. I have called the shop and the phones were disconnected. I have gone to the store at least twice a month from January 2014 till Sept. 2014 when I found a store going out of business sign on the door. I finally got to talk to the owner who said times were tuff and there was a possibility that my things and some of other peoples things could have been stolen by a person who does hobby shows. Almost a year later I still don't have my 2 engines and transformer. The engine and transformer are worth between $1000.00 and $1500.00 dollars. The other engine is newer and worth roughly $200.00 dollars. There is a lot of sentimental value and attachment to these items. I think I have been very patient and understanding in this matter, but am at the end of being patient and understanding.Desired Settlement: I would like my original items back repaired and cleaned in good condition as they were when I took them to the hobby store. or I would like to receive a $2000.00 dollar settlement so that I can replace my items with what I think is comparable to my items.
