    Loved that O-gauge post ^^ with the switching yard.

    Most of my Lionel gear is sitting in boxes. Maybe I'll pull some of the tin-plate out and post some pics.

    I was a local building supply yard a few years ago and stumbled on modular 8 x 8' HO layout, with soldiered track laid on elevated roadbed for $20!!!!!

    By the time I found someone to pay for it, someone else snagged it up. So bummed.

    In the meantime I'll have to settle for the Leslie Supertyfon 3-Note horn I have mounted in my Midget.

    I loved trains when I was a kid. There was a decent layout in my grandparents attic that I'd play with a bit with my grandfather. When I was 6 or so, it was torn down and my Dad started on an even larger one in our attic, but never finished it for various reasons. I've since lost interest and moved onto other things, but this is still in the attic. Hasn't been touched in probably 10-15 years though. Sorry if these photos are kinda shitty, I took them a while ago for a similar thread on another forum.

    Switchboard for the old layout at my grandparents house.


    New layout in our attic.


    And the rest. Most of the older stuff is Lionel (I think - not sure, but some definitely is) and most of the newer stuff is MTH... although it's not that new anymore. Most was bought in probably 1995-97.













    From the other thread I originally took these for, I found out this steam engine is from something like 1947. The cars to the left I think are from about the same time... but don't quote me on that.





    If you get me the Cab Number on that Lionel Steamer I can get you a age.
    Most of the stuff is 027 lionel stuff. You have (2) MTH proto 1 SD70Macs, "green" Then the Santa fe F3's are from the 60'S. The Union pacific is a 4-8-8-4 Northern and most likey MTH As well. Track looks like Gargraves.
