Lionel Trains
Posted by LOTGK on November 6, 2007
Lionel trains are making a comeback as a hobby. Case in point, my brother Jacks display above. My father, back in the late 50’s and early 60’s had an elaborate Lionel train layout. He had 13 complete trains going at the same time powered by powerful ZW transformers. This is Jacks first installment and he is not yet complete. he has some wiring to do and some track adjustments but it is a fantastic start.

lionel’s were and are great. their big competitor was ac gilbert with their american flyer trains. I did not remember how big those engines and cars were until I saw them in model train stores and layouts.
I have a few n gauge chessie cars. my favorite railroad next to the old pennsy.

great video & layout…
I tried to set up a small n gauge layout when I lived in a house but the cats kept attacking the trains. It looked like a giant cat holding a train in its paws everytime they got ahold of one of the cars…
My blog moves ever onward…lots of posts…
