Now that Christmas and New Year's if over, I have finished the video of my Lionel early Prewar trains running under the Christmas tree.  I started out by collecting and operating Lionel Postwar trains, but I thought it would be fun to collect and operate Lionel early prewar trains that are circa 100 years old.  What fun!  I hope you enjoy the video as much as I have collecting and running them.

Great looking Christmas layout. I especially like the all-antique look with all the transformers; did they need much re-furbishing?

Firewood, The Dongan Toy Transformers are all original  including the cloth cords and plugs (that are in excellent condition 90 years later).  The only modification I made was to add an internal 4 amp circuit breaker since the original had none.  The large one is very quiet and the smaller one has a modest hum.  I like having a hum, it helps remind me to shut of the transformers when finished.
