Toy Trains

this is another pie-in-the-sky dream. like him going on that big poon trip to FL. yak yak, gonna do this and that, then disappointment. i’m used to it

you should tag on your SEMA visit and do slot cars instead. Build a track based on one of the F1 courses

Still trying to wrap my head around this thread.

Once its complete, I’ll invite you and peepod over. We’ll have a bud lime and watch the train go around the room…it’ll be epic! There will be hearty LOLs and high fives all around. I might even get the wife to whip up some Tostino’s pizza rolls.

Sounds like a plan. I’ll bring the wooden train whistle.

This gets my vote for cut down of the month right here. That was well executed.

One of the best posts I’ve seen in awhile.

My bride works with Railroad Insurance stuff.

Believe it or not, Where I work they gave us pretty nice trains and several rail cars for a safety award.

I bought some tracks for it to sit on in her office at work. Quite fitting.

Carry on.

Here are a few pix from an HO Layout a friend of mine and I built a few years back.

Probably more advanced than what you are interested in.

That’s what I’m talking about! That’s an incredible amount of detail, especially on HO scale!

What was the overall size? How long did it take you start to finish?

SIZE-15’x35’
Took us seven years to build.
Sadly it was dismantled and sold when I moved to SC in 2002.
I can send you a pdf file with tons more pix and some low res vids
if you would like to see them. Too much stuff to post here.
Let me know the best way to send you the file if you are interested.

Wish I had a pic of the train at Francis Willards. Anyone else here remember that place? Was a dump. But, an interesting one. And the train added to the ambianssss.
