Mark,

That an amazing layout. How many trains can run?

Thanks Bob, nothing fancy I can run six trains and I have a block near the passenger station if I want to run shut power off then bring out another train, then in the small yard I have a few blocks to bring a engine in and take out another out. My other layout was 21 x 16 ran around eight trains, no picture all on the other computer that well *hit the bed. I like to run mostly pw Lionel, don't run to standard like some operators mostly for having a beer and days gone by watching my dad's HO Lionel. And grandkids watching and looking for different scenes. Was on OGR back in the 80s then got away from the magazine, with all the great looking layouts would have done it different. Thanks again Mark

I had that log loader that was part of the Lionel "Electronic" set Santa brought the Christmas 1948.  Kind of wish still had it.

That log loader, a log car, and a caboose that I bought for $4 are all that I had left from my trains from the 50's when I returned in 2000. I also had the KW transformer, the operating cattle car, and the barrel loader which I replaced using ebay.

from PRRonbh...another caboose, this one a very ancient warrior.

Lionel 152 loco and 801 caboose both from approximately 1923 or 100 Years Ago!  (and Yes...it does run although I do not run it often for fear of burning out some part I will never be able to replace).
