I read the thread by Tommys_trains and I truly enjoyed the story. I can only imagine when my dad got his train set for Christmas in 1946, at the age of 5. My Grandfather bought it at Higbees in downtown Cleveland (Lionel 2101W set)and also some 2440s passenger cars, which disinegrated. I still have his set and it is the only train I will never give up do to my memories of it running around the Christmas tree in the early 70's. My dad gave it to me about 7 or 8 years ago. That's what got me started in this mess! Smile It was in pieces, and I put it back together and it runs great! My 9 year old daughter will eventually get it. I told her never to sell it, just pass it on to a family member. I am currently putting another set for my other daughter to pass down as well. Every tree needs a train. Here is my Dad's...



Anyone else have pics of there first train for Christmas for the Christmas edition?

Chris, Merry Christmas1
Great photos have a Merry Christmas everyone and thanks always for posting such interesting photos.
The photo above must be the new Lionel house with built in lights looked good in the Catalogue but really nice on the layout!

Picked up some new locos on sale to pull the Circus train on the kids layout bright and look good with the Circus train;


Night time on the Christmas layout;



A shot of most of the Christmas layout night time.
Will try to get some lit photos of the trains later on and post.

On December 10-11, 2011, the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh held its second annual "Locomotion Weekend." Following are some of the pix I took. I didn't get a lot of good shots due to the big crowds there that Saturday.

The MRRV's Lionel Vision PRR engine rolls past Patty (MiniRR) Rogers' wonderful model of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater:




Managed to catch three trains in this shot Smile :


There were many model train-related displays and layouts spread throughout the building, including O, S, and HO modular clubs, the TCA, Scenic Express (one of this forum's great sponsors), the Lionel tower displays and a couple small O gauge displays, including the following compact Polar Express layout that was on loan from Len's Train Shop:







If you look closely, you can figure out the track plan of this clever little layout. Who says that you can only do simple loops or simple figure-eight plans in a small space? Big Grin

Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy Hanukkah to all our Jewish forumites!

Christmas round 1 happened today. My grandparent's came over and I got four new freight cars.

Lionel NS Conrail Heritage tank car (matches my Lionmaster CR SD80MAC well)


My first two weaver cars, a PM hopper and a N&W trailer on flat car



And a K-Line Ford Steel Coil Car


I also have the new Lionel "Jacob's Pharmacy" building coming whenever Lionel ships them.
Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!...

This is my brother-in-law's lionel from either 1949 or 1950...he turned it over to me earlier this year for safe keeping...it just needed a little oil and the burshes clean up...it still runs like a top!...and i thought a black and white version of the picture was the way to go...



i just want to tell you how much i look forward to clicking onto the forum several times a day...always something to see and read...it's like a new model railroad magazine everytime you turn around...

my very best regards...

howard...here in sunny, warm and a little humid north florida...

One of our members, Jim Caccavo, is a professional photographer, author, and artist -- a true Renaissance man. He did a hand-painted backdrop on the North wall of the layout which includes the moon and stars which glow when hit with an ultraviolet light. "That other publication" posted a cropped and mis-captioned version of this photo. Jim has since sent me a copy for the holidays.



Some of you may have seen the YouTube I did last year ("Surprise in the Woods at AGHR") regarding the "still scene." The scene was done by Dave O'Connor featuring a scratch-built still complete with flickering fire. The musicians are modified figures with instruments, 'shine jugs and other articles added. "That other publication" referred to it as a hobo camp.
