Choo Choo

Postby ThatOnePerson » Thu Jan 03, 2008 7:18 pm

Figured Id post some of mine. These are Lionel O Gauge. Ive been collecting trains since I was about 3. HO mostly until I was about 8,Then moved onto O gauge. Ive been meaning to set up a layout but space is a problem, I would need a whole room to really make anything "acceptable" with these size of trains. Sorry for the crappy pics but indoor lighting isn't great. Ive got roughly 15-20 engines and 40-50 rolling stock. May not sound like a lot but if your on a budget like me, Spending $50 bucks a train car isn't fun , I wont even comment on the Engines :P. I guess thats what 8 years of collecting and Christmases are for ::)

Gorgeous  :)

I'd love to model O scale, but my 15X30 foot space keeps me in HO (I pondered N )...

If winters weren't  so harsh, I'd have an outdoor, G scale railroad.. ::)

I fond O to be a good size. Big enough to not loose parts, and small enough of indoor use ;)

My father has an 8x8x8 (yes, 8x8x8) HO layout..

It stores (folded in half) vertically into itself..

Very poor rendition of the Layout housing:

Heh interesting, how visible are those cracks in the scenery?

Nice stuff you got there, shame it isnt driving on its own railroad.
