Sprayed bit of CRC 2-26 lubricant on the standard gauge loop near my ceiling in my home office. Its nothing special. I am running a #390 Lionel Classic with three #516 hoppers (one vintage Lionel and two MTH ones) and a vintage caboose. I find it relaxing. Just ordered a #384 Lionel Classic from Trainz to join the fleet. My other item is a #318 vintage set, which I acquired from a client whose grandfather owned it in the late 1930's. Both the grandfather and client (whom I represented for a divorce) have since passed. The client's brother was in a motor vehicle accident in 1965, long before I was a lawyer, hit by a Reading train as he was driving his car across a RR crossing, causing severe injuries, for which he lived permanently in a nursing home. He died a few years ago. When I run my standard gauge trains, I always think of the family, because their love of standard gauge got me into that scale. My son recently expressed an interest in Lionel O-gauge pre-war, of which I have some. So the torch will be passed.
