My dad is crazy about model railroads. He tried to get me into it when I was younger but living in a city with no trains, it's hard for me to get into. (Sort of like trying to get someone with no interest in cars into E30's....)

He has a massive HO setup that he's been collecting parts for over roughly the last 60 years

My family has always been pretty big into railroads, in fact we hold a Patent for an automated uncoupling mechanism for rail yards.

Anyway, my grandpa built me this before I was even born (as soon as he found out I was a boy anyway)

Completely custom, runs on bent steel piping and powered by a 3HP lawnmower engine. Still runs too, have it all intact behind my shop.



I don't have any pictures of my N Scale layout, but it is still together in storage, however here are some shots of the old HO layout that has since been disassembled.

When I was a kid, I had an HO scale that went around my room and I still have boxes full of Z scale, HO and a bunch more of them.

Hells yeah, I have a big collection of Lehman Grossbahn G scale trains that we always set up at Christmas. All the German trains and the german writing at a young age brainwashed me into being a fan of most things teutonic and eventually bmw I think.

we have also a very big G scale from Lehmann. It's in the storage some years. As a child i liked it very much... i think i have to run it again.

I had a huge HO setup for years, but when parents split up and moved, it all went into boxes. One of these days I plan on rebuilding but much bigger than the original.
