Inspired by my grandson's love of trains, took my Tyco Silver Streak set from 40 years ago and have been building my collection of Tyco and Tyco-Matua locomotives and cars. Also only using Tyco buildings and accessories.

Thank you! Has taken some time, and money of course, to accumulate everything.


That layout is great! All Tyco trains, buildings, and accessories!

Here are the dimensions. The layout is 2 ft wide at the top, forgot to indicate that.

That's not a layout! That's a dream!

I've been purchasing Tyco Tru Steel track on Ebay. I used a metal file and filed them all and replaced most of the rail joiners .

What kind of track did you use ?

Very nice layout. Thanks for posting the vid. It looks like you've got a lot of Tyco buildings including HoJo.
