Not only do I have an active layout in my basement, but Max's second words were "choo choo". It's what we do when he's a pain between the last nap and dinner.

I'm currently running an O Gauge with a Pennsy set on a double figure 8.

SWELL...just bought some old locomotives on e-bay 5 steam and a diesel

several are old "scouts",but 2 are real nice post war, a 1666 and a 224

am restoring them to set up under the X-mas tree...pics of last years set up are on the tfp some where...I'll try to find them and put the link here...xoxoxoo

I was into Lionel trains in a big way a few years ago. I had all old stuff from about 1965 back. Seems most folks are into command control and electronics now.

I have the original set my dad bought my older brother in 1949 and am adding to it with early 50's and 60's stuff.....you got any train stuff left??

My dad is a big-time model railroader, but he is very serious about it, and generally Lionel is not regarded as a good product to serious modelers. I've been helping my dad with his models and going to model railroad shows since I was a tiny tot. When I was a young girl, he had an HO layout that took up an entire room of our home. Now he is slowly taking over a room in their new house with an N gauge set.

The closest I get to model railroading these days is building train layouts out of Brio.

lionel is more of a vintage type collection....the real deal is the fancy european/asian brass replicas!...xoxoxoo

Nice Christmas layout. I didn't see the big ZW. You must have had it out of sight. hehe..........

I've got a set of Marklin stuff that I acquired a few years ago. One day I'll figure out how to make all the junctions and switches work (I can make the train go around, but that's about it). Small children means it is currently packed in multiple boxes in my shed.

Lionel Trains... didn't he do that one song, "Dancing On the Ceiling?" :)

I have several from my youth but no current place to put them up. I have been meaning to do an N-Track module some day.
