Model Railroaders Here.......(PICS)

[C YENSEN]

very nice Skools.....I like it!! I wish i had room for an outside G scale, but i live in a townhouse so that is out for now.

here are some pics of the Lionel I built this fall.













went with a winter scene this year, turned out pretty good, next year I will try something different.

I love to go out there at night, turn off all the lights, and run it in the dark ;D

Nice setups guys, I wish I had time to put my HO's together,
I just keep collecting them and putting them in storage.
Maybe one day.

Did you guys ever notice, that to get any old trains,
you have to go to the train shows?

Whenever I go to a flea market or antique shop,
there are never any there or they are junk.

My buddy has got it made, his wife is into trains like him,
they even redid their dining room in a train motiff.
He painted the ceiling to look like sky with clouds and then put two tracks about 7 feet up the wall, all the way around. They both love to just watch the trains go, they say it is relaxing.

Next time I go to their house, I'll get some pix.

Cy you need a little model V20 tied to that dock with the red/green bow light and a stern light. That would be sweeeeeet!

Nice RR's boys :D

well blue i looked and looked for one but could not find the right scale. i will continue, i eventually found a sailboat but i took the photos before so it is not there.

next year.

since my pics at the coast i've added some buildings to the yard. i want to build a dock in the dry river bed and have some boats docked in there. can't find any 1/24th scale boats besides sail boats, no wind humpers on in my dock.

Been collecting lionel since I was a kid off and on. Whats interesting the price of vintage lionel stuff especially post war lionel has dropped 15 to 20 % over the past year or so. Maybe us old guys are dropping off
not much nostalagic value to a 30 year old.
A hobby board is not a bad idea. Cold as h*** here in central Pa wind chill about 20 below tonight THINK SPRING

There's one train set all true train collectors want. an Original Lionel Girls Train.

lol well actual reason i named my boat that, I work for the state and contracted to the School system in Alamance as Data Communications Specialist, my girl is a K teacher and I love to fish i thought what better name than Skool for my fishing and Out for her summer so Skool's Out fits all ways what ya think.
