Anybody like trains?

[xxx-Lost-Soul-xxx]

I work for up, I see cool ones every now and then. It's impressive to me still to see mile long z trains with only 3 pulling engines and 1 pushing.

Are you a Hogger,Hustler or? You work on the Phx service unit?

As for models, I don't have anything when I go back for more training I'll get photos of all the simulators.

i was way into O27 when i was a kid, but it got too expensive and big, so i switched to HO. never really let it get too crazy but during that time, i loved it.

not as much as this guy though

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.

Where did you get these shelves at?


Cause i got a HO scale Rivarossi Pennsylvania set like the OP's in the first picture but with two diesel engines instead of a steam unit. I'd love to have a simple shelf to display it on.

I got them Years ago,all i remember was it from a guy in PA

Heres someone i got when i typed HO scale display case.

When you get a chance go to your local Barnes & Noble and go to the Hobby/craft section they have Model Railroader, In the magazine theres always advertisments for display cases. Most are done by People who work a regular job and do this as sidework. I think i payied like $15 a peice for these,it was a while ago.

And heres one a guy built.
