Today I got out a set I bought in '93 that my son and I played with: Lionel UNION PACIFIC steamer. I'd forgotten how much play value we got out of this thing. Not exactly my post war from the 50s-early 60s, but still fun.
The inner loop of my 48'er is 031, so it's ideal for "toy" style--which I prefer anyway. Also my conventional PW that I ran on 027 will work really great here.
In related layout news, I'm really happy I got my hands on a new in box never opened ZW-C with the 180 bricks. Bought it from TinMan3rail. I know it's massive overkill, but ever since seeing Trainroom Gary's power set up, I've wanted that ZW look, I want throttles for when I run conventional, and modern electrics for my modern engines. Plus the 180 bricks are nicely hefty and I do run a lot of passenger cars and they have incandescent bulbs. Anyway, I have the power taken car of, providing it all works when I unseal that never opened box.
Anybody else run with a ZW-C?
