Still one of my favorites

At the end of the video, what did that button do?

That will stop the train at a segment just before the tunnel so you don’t have to touch throttle. There are 3 insulated locks on the circuit each with a fairly exacting amount of current going to it to help keep the train going. Too fast or too slow in the tunnel and the engine will flip off of the rails or the cars will be pulled off and the barrels in the first 4 gondolasare there as ballast to help with weight 

The dealer displays are the coolest, thanks for sharing all of these!

A sampling of Lionel dealer display items

The poles I added a few then what were there as there was an indication that Lionel did not place all that were designed to be there also this will make for a sturdier mountain

Here is how control panel would have been attached for shipment and I am using this s todo my wiring of the control panel

I will be starting new thread for D224 restoration
