Model Trains

[artful dodger]

My main hobby and obsession is model trains, have been since I was a very young boy.  I have 2 train layouts, one indoors that features rare Lionel OO trains that were made just prior to WWII, and a G scale layout outdoors for my LGB and live steam powered G scale models.    The first picture is of the Twilight LImited passenger train on my OO layout(which is still under construction).  The second picture is of two G scale locomotives.  The one toward the rear is the common LGB brand Stainz locomotive that comes in most all the starter sets from LGB.  The front locomotive is the live steam powered version made by a company named Regner, also from Germany.  It was a special model made in the early 2000's for Regners 25th anniversary.   More pics and videos to come soon!    AD

Here is a short video of my newest live steamer to join my railway.   Was windy and cold but a good test run.

Went to a nearby model train show yesterday and found some great deals.  Picked up a nice set of Lionel Santa Fe diesels and some matching passenger cars from the 1950's.  The engines cleaned up really nice and run beautifully as most all Lionel from that era do.  We are coming up on the Christmas season and the holidays and Lionel go hand in hand for many folks.   AD
