My Train Room...

SURE DO!!!!

Those outdoor photographs are excellent!!  I agree with Bob, I have never seen so many engines!!

Very nice.

There is no Room, like Our Train Room.  It’s like a never ending job to keep it clean, and straight...Here is mine...

                      GREAT train room and trains LEAPINLARRY !!!

Larry, quite the train room! Looks good from where I am sitting!

As someone once said....The one with the most toys wins!

My wife would be beside her self.....

NICE train room and collection. 

Excellent, Larry!!!!

Can I assume your not married? Don

Brian, those pics were terrific,  what a great way to show off your trains.  You have them in the entire house.  I'm lucky to have them in two rooms and the 2nd one is a bedroom that we are no longer using and we keep the door closed all the time.  I'd love to have an entire house to put my trains.  Everything is very nicely done and you show off your trains in a really nice setting.  I like your shelfs that you have built for them.  I loved the ones with your dog in them, I'd say the pooch loves the trains too and loves to show them off.

Great job and thanks so much for sharing, I'm jealous but thanks for a great tour.

                            thank you J.MOTTS !

Hello friends,

I have really enjoyed all of Brian's posts, and I am really impressed with his "Train Room."  All the replies prompted by his topic and subsequent posts have also been very entertaining, but LeapinLarry has inspired me to post a reply of my own.  

This Is My Train Room, all 12' by 10' feet of it (including the so-called work bench area), and clearly it is at the other end of the spectrum from those posted by Brian, LeapinLarry and others:

Some of you may recall a couple of these pix from another past Topic: This is my Work Bench."

I need another house!

Cheers!

Alan

 Upstairs, I have 7 small layouts in four rooms (a fav movie).  The bathroom is safe, and the kitchen is clear; though that's in constant peril of a test loop taking permanent root  .. 

...and there is also the hibernating 15x30 bench in the dungeon 

...and now I don't feel as self-conscious about it all

Think of all of the extra options you can have if you remove that toilet, fridge and sink!

Alan, I have that same display "Engineer for Hire" Love it! Also while your train room may be at the other end of the spectrum it is no less than any other train rooms in this post. To each his own. I don't even have a train room. The way I look at it, if it's a room and it's got trains in it, it's cool!!!

More pics of the train room

Great looking train room! Love the layout!

FL9TURBO2, I really like your layout, the Big cranes, the neat pictures on the walls,and the ad for Symbicort, amazing, just kidding about the ad on your TV, however, if you pre-ordered any of the theatre cars, you would have quite a View. Thanks for posting your really nice layout...Leapin Larry

I figure maybe I can do a micro in  the fridge 

A new running theme for me?

Your overpass under construction detail is amazing.  Well beyond my skill level so I'll just admire.

When I decided to get back into trains in the 90's first I bought Williams brass and then Weaver started coming out with really nice brass engines so I bought them.  Then it was the E8's and the passenger sets.  The later I found out it was Mike that was behind those items.  Whatever, whoever did it, the Weaver stuff was very cool.  You have a very nice collection.  Like me, most of your problems can be solved with more space and more shelving.

Brian, I am thinking you have forgotten who runs the house there! You might have got away with it if you would have some ice cream, But I think you forgot that also! LOL!
