i've done plenty and plenty and got more since i last posted pictures, added a platform between my lionel and marx platforms to make one super platform and added afew tracks and handmade a tressel strong enough to take on a long heavy lionel train :D i havn't got any overall pictures of everything, mostly because i can't fit it in the camera at once... and i forgot take pictures of the ends, just the middle :D

thanks :D


that town hall in the last picture is a vintage plasticville peice from my marx half, if you look in the 3rd picture you'll see a second town hall from the lionel half, it's the same basic thing but new plasticville and different colors

Did you see the Toronto show pics I posted and the O gauge L/O in a trailer. That was a neat display with animation.

hehe, yeah, i'm on afew other forums and this is the only forum that i'm on with this vast post/view ratio, soo it's kinda funky! plus 70 year old toy trains on a flat sheet of plywood isn't quite as detailed or well modeled as half the sets that people post here anyway.. soo i dont quite blame em for not being that interested... most 0-gauge people here are lionelers and who like the prototypical realistic look as well ... and theres only a couple guys here with the marx trains... i'm just stuck in love with these beauties with no intention of changing

I'm always impressed at how good a well-built "toy train" set looks. The aesthetic is so different from what us N-scalers are accustom to. It reminds of the train sets that I used to see as a kid at the Bon Marche store in Seattle at Christmas. Very nostalgic.

Hi Carl,


I did a little looking last night and only found that engine was made 1986 or so. Don't remember the dates now. It only has a value of $40 to $80. I like it :thumb: To bad it is DC only.:rolleyes:
Click to expand...

thats a little older than i expected :D thanks for finding that! :thumb: ... and between 40-80 is what i paid for it



even though DC is standardly associated with two rail, this DC runs on standard lionel track with the center rail powering it... soo it's just a matter of swapping a transformer from a HO set onto the regular lionel track to run it! you can even use the regular lionel lock-down!

Quite a fine collection of O gauge Tin Plates you have there.
With everyone else finely detailing thier Ho and N scale(me included), its nice to see some old Lionel still running. Brings back some memories.
