THIS IS ONE HAPPY KID, CHECK THIS OUT

Its O gauge   Its O gauge   Perfect

Looks like there's an box in the background that's about the same size as a Lionel box. I'm guessing it was an add on car? Lucky kid!!!

"THE O-GUAGE!!!"

I think he likes "the O-Gauge!"  Nice present to get at that age!  Great clip.  Thanks for sharing. 

EXCELLENT!!!!

Now he has become a lifelong member of a GREAT hobby that will guide him constructively through life.

Priceless!

I find myself doing the same thing quite often.

 

OOOOOOOooooohhh gauge!.....see!

Very neat video.

Alex that was great !! 

That was me on April 29, 1955 when I got this set for my 7th birthday.

 

we need more great starts like that one

I think we have all felt like that at sometime in our lives. As Matt said "Priceless".

I've seen Alex do that same exact thing when he's running his layout.

I'm so embarrassed my Mom posted that!

As Sheldon Cooper once said: "It's O gauge or NO gauge."

Hi Jeff,

Embarrassed?, this is PRICELESS. On Ellen tube it has 50,000 views

it's awesome thanks for taking this video, can you tell us more about it

 

Alex

Lets face it, we all know exactly how he felt.

That is priceles, but if I'm honest I still get really excided when something new shows up. 

Love it

He's my kinda guy.

never saw a kid act like that over a video game.....

Yes, yes we do! 

 

George

Quite possibly the best video ever posted here.  Says it all!

Guess you have never seen this one...

 

My reaction also every time the UPS, USPS truck rolls up.

Alex,

   The little boy loved his Christmas train set, and it made his mothers entire year,

I was the same way at Christmas time with my trains.  Great video!

We have the Polar Express running here on Main Street and see some similar, but not quite as exuberant responses when the little folks spot it in the window!

Change the year to 1962 and you have me!

 

It's really is a wonderful video and for over 50 some years a great hobby!

It's nice to see proof that toy trains have not lost their magic. 

This kid has a future. He knows what he wants and knows that O-Gauge is the best. Sign him up.

That is so neat to see him so excited - priceless!

Great video.  

Very lucky to have a young engineer here that gets just as excited with O gauge trains.

That's the magic of a Lionel Christmas!!!!

Not surprisingly it's this O GAUGE set that truly relaunched me into Model Railroading.  Decided to buy it for what became one of my stepsons but it was just too expensive.  So my then girlfriend/ now wife, got it and gave it to ME!!!!  Since then the old Lionel has come out and i am knee and wallet deep into O in spite of having enough HO in unopened boxes to start my own hobby shop!

 

While I miss the ideas I carried in my head about my perfect HO layout i have replaced them with new memories of running trains with my kids!  

 

No, No NO! ...like this, repeat after me..... OOOOO Gauge!
