Narrative:

On a vector for visual approach runway 7 to toledo, both the first officer and myself thought we had toledo airport in sight and called the field in sight. Once we lined up for the runway, we noticed that the localizer was not working and started to realize we were not lined up with toledo airport. At that time I started to doublechk the localizer frequency and toledo tower advised we were not lined up with toledo airport and gave us a heading and altitude to fly for toledo. After we got back on the right track, tower advised this was not the first time this happened.
