Yep, but this time of year the live steam stuff gets someone shelved and indoor trains take over. I am slowly settling into a Austrian/German narrow gauge feel on the live steam railway. I have a live steam version of the LGB Stainz on its way here soon. Thats fall project as it has worn valve gear. With my stuck at home dealing with health issues, its indoor train time. I am going to slightly modify the track plan as I have a loop of Gargraves OO track arriving today, that will circle the outer edge of the table with the O gauge in the middle so I can run both. In time, the layout will be all 3 rail OO. But not till spring time when profit sharing arrives. That vintage OO track is NOT cheap or easy to find. But its the one way I can enjoy a scale 700e Hudson on a 4x7 layout. While the reissue 1-700e will manage 042 curves, it looks silly doing it. I have always been drawn to OO, its just a perfect size for a small layout and its just a bit bigger than HO. Its the one way I can enjoy the scale size prewar Lionel in small space, Just like Lionel marketed it for. AD
