That might be for the engine with the FLUX CAPACITOR Scott !?! 
.......the DeLorean required1.21 gigawatts of power to get to the 88 mph to initiate TIME TRAVEL...........don't know what a locomotive would need though 🤔 .

The switch to nowhere! No reversing allowed 😉
I bought some tickets for a family train ride, does that fit into this thread?

A quick photo of way cool!been wanting an original 192 for a L O N G time.
my Christmas present to myself.
Nice colors Pierre. I have the newer maroon and grey version. Those two guys never get tired of running in circles.....
Nice score Pierre! Have you powered it up yet? Are the guys walking or running around in that tower?
PRRick, "I bought some tickets for a family train ride, does that fit into this thread?", most definitely!
I finally found the Weaver 2nd run (with green window tints and grey trucks) Erie Lackawanna coach/sleeper add-on set that I had posted in the Wanted To Buy section of the forum for the past 2 years or so. This was like hen's teeth/a needle in the haystack to find and I was able to get an offer accepted within 5 hours of it being listed with no bids. Thank you LarryW for giving me the head's up.
Here is the link below

I once saw one of these 192 control towers without two railroad workers in the tower. There was a blonde vixen and a gorilla chasing her! Lol.
I won’t alter mine. the speed of the chase depends on the juice applied!
anyway I am am happy. Thx.
Guys...that through switch that PRRick showed is for the Marklin..."Flying Hamburger"

That is a very nice 192. I have one of the remakes that has the vibrator action. No where near as cool as yours.
After a little light research I found that the 192 tower was possibly based on an air observance or air-force tower.
the same Lionel 192 structure is shared with the Lionel 196 radar tower. And in my postwar child’s mind I thought the radar tower was made to look out for flying saucers! I must have been Space and military brain washed!
Aflyer, thx The original 192 and 196 are on a vibratory platform as well. Good vibrations…
I am not really a postwar Lionel purist but having this cool 192 really feeds my postwar lust.
Not lately but about a year ago, I finally found a Southern SW7 #1100 from Nicholas Smith Trains. Lion Chief Plus. The only thing I have a gripe about is the cab lighting, it goes out when the train is in motion. Guess I’m used to my postwar engines that stay lit.
I bought a K Line Amtrak Surfliner car set, MTH Metrolink F40 and the Bombardier cars, MTH Railking F40 and Railking Phase 3 Amfleet Cars.
Went to the Hamburg train meet this morning. Checking out the tables, seen quite few Lionel 671's, 681's, and 2020 turbine w/ original tenders which I already have, then I came to a screeching halt when I noticed a 682 w/ 2046W-50 tender which I don't have. When I left the meet my wallet was lighter and that 682 w/tender, along with a ZW275 and a 1033 transformers were in my possession. Some empty tables, wasn't crowded, but over all it was a good meet.
Good catch on the 682 really like the extra link. Plus two great transformers.
Nice on the 682, don't see them terribly often in good shape. I was going to shoot up from Hershey with my 5 year old son but decided not to. He has the attention span of a typical 5 year old boy. 2 hours on the road for 45 minutes at the meet didn't make sense, haha.
Some Walmart purchases and a Hallmark ornament.
The plan for The Mystery Machine is to be put on a SuperStreets Chassis. I believe it is big enough. I will build the rocket, Saturn 1?, out of this LEGO kit to include in my Cape Not Canaveral Air Force Base/Rocket Launch complex.
I didn't purchase it but still fits in this tread, birthday present from my wife - Lionel Hobby Shop! I was able to make room on my Christmas layout table but it is tight. My son and I are already planning how we now have to expand that table!

I have the dept 56 Lionel shop on my around the tree layout and hope to have space for one of these on my future layout. That is an awesome building!

yeah I decided against a Christmas layout around the tree or temporary layout, I built a second layout under my original table that is a permanent Christmas layout. This picture is before I put out the new Hobby Shop.
Got this Saturday from my LHS....
