| The kids are lovin it,I am teaching them young how to handle them. As With me though as a kid I broke soo many of my fathers trains so as I see what he had I am slowly rebuying for him what I broke 30 yrs ago. As for the multi scale I did that because I have so little room but adds a nice touch. Thanks for all your comments

Very cool. I especially like the 027 layout on the outside. I just got out my 621 NJL SW Lionel switcher and was thinking about setting up some Lionel track myself, even looking a Lionel on the 'bay.

| That 1615 was given to me over 20 yrs ago buy the original owner,it sat on my shelf all that time,last year the man who took care of the trains at the national toy train museum completely rebuilt that for me. It rund like a dream. The original owner saw it last month and was surprised I still had it and it runs.

| Looks good! Any way you could post a photo showing the whole layout or the track plan? I collect 4X8 track plans and am always looking for another one to give me ideas.

Heres a side shot with a Bachmann Jupiter 4-4-0 and the Union Pacific 4073 going nose to nose with the Royal Blue,needless to say the 4073 is a tank and can pull anything I hook up to her so she pulls mostly my long trains.
