Thank you
Three rail looks awful and so unrealistic. The locos look great but the track is terrible.
I like the size and huge selection and variety offered in 3 rail. I keep a healthy collection of HO and N for modeling, but for shear awesomeness of watching some big steam run, O Guage is my favorite, closely followed by G, just not enough stuff available in G. I could do without the 3rd rail for sure, but then I’d lose a lot of favorite locomotives. 👍
Lionel FastTrak is one of the worst train track made by Lionel. I used to use it for my Christmas layout three years ago. And when I ran my trains on it, it was so loud I can hear the TV plus it has the worst electricity flow, and the track would get dirty very quickly when I ran the trains. The Atlas track I’ve used only once although I don’t have it anymore. But when I used Atlas track one time for my Halloween train layout and I basically did not permanently mount the track because I laid down the track on top of a brown colored tablecloth that I bought from big lots. I just put the track on top of it ran the train and it did a pretty well job because the track is not loud and it stays well-connected so that’s one thing I like about Atlas track. Plus Atlas track has nickel silver rails, which provide a very strong electricity flow I know with Gargraves track. You can connect that track to Lionel O27 tubular track. Because Gar Graves track is the same height as Lionel 027 tubular track.
Thank you for sharing, agreed on the fastrack for sure, very loud, and the ends break off easily when put together and taken apart after a while. Thanks for checking out the channel!
Mike is a MTH premier stack car (not rail king) full scale size
It’s debatable, the premiers are supposed to be scale but only about 19” long and Lionel’s are about 21” long. Either way look good. Depends on what you like.
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies ok I trust you on explaining the differences When I get to container cars I want them to kinda look same. I got Lionel 86’ up to 5 now all amazing prices , and MTH premier Tropicana I think they’re 60’ the white ones coming so a big large boxcar train. Containers are next as per my kids I let them help pick out what to run and get
Lionel and MTH are both good choices, they just look awkward if you mix them and not stick to one or the other.
Great 👍
Thank you
Wow, you have thousands of dollars as wife says that just sits in boxes. My thought is what ever your not running on the tracks is excess. Can’t imagine more than three or four favorites. Interesting seeing how the other half lives. You are quite fortunate to have so many decisions of what to keep and what to sell.😊
There are just so many cool pieces out there, between enjoying collecting, history, and the toy and model train aspect, it was easy to go overboard. Now that we have been in O gauge for 7 years, we are finding our way to what we really like most and relinquishing some of the collecting aspect. It doesn’t take much to spend a lot of money in O this days. I can definitely appreciate the keep what’s running on the tracks approach. Thank you for checking out the channel. Mike
@@genemanno1533 you can either keep your money in the bank, where it does nothing for you, or invest in something you can enjoy and later get most if not all of your investment back. It’s a no-brained to me, especially with inflation rates like they are.
@flyboyu777 Agreed!
What is the size of your layout table? I have a 12x20 room I want to build my layout in. Your layout is beautiful.
Thank you, the table is 21.5’ by 8’. 20” wall space along the back and one end, 30” along the front and other end. A little bit larger room. Are you thinking a traditional layout or perimeter layout.
Looking great Mike! Thanks for the video-they keep me motivated to work on mine!
Thank you, I’m happy to help! 🙂👍🚂
Layout’s looking good Mike.
Thank you Hunter
Beautiful layout awesome cool Train’s 👍
Thank you!
Been there done that, sold my 2004 mustang and 2004 T bird for more trains! Big mistake? Trains are getting too expensive and very complicated electronically especially engines. Love the post war engines that I can fix and run!
Yeah, I regret it also. Should have kept the car or cars and bought less trains. Postwar are great for sure, I’ve scaled back on a lot of my collection, no post war though, I have kept all that I have and added some. 👍🙂
Nice trains on the rails here! I don’t think I’ve seen that kind of speed on the outside loop before. Very much like the change to the layout. Seeing Illinois central set and the EMD Demonstrators still available are too tempting! Great prices.
Thank you! Yeah, I can carry some speed on that 090 loop without worry of flying off the curves. Pretty fun! Thanks for checking out the latest video Marcus! 👍
Nice layout love your videos keep up the good work
Thank you
Nice stuff Mike. Wish I was closer, would love to bye from you. Just little of a ride from way out eastern Long Island.
Thank you, long ride for sure!
Hi Mike, love your layout and updates, thanks. Is there a way to email you? Thanks
Hi, thank you. Most people find me on Facebook and use messenger if you are a Facebook person. If not, I need to create an email for my train stuff at some point. 🙂
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies, I don’t have Facebook, but I will look for you. I’d like to ask you some questions, I’m just starting a new layout, I just started the hobby 6 mons. ago, I just took down my ovals to do something more interesting. Love your trains, would like to write and ask you about some. Thanks
Just looked for on Facebook marketplace, perhaps I’m too green, I can’t figure out how to write you here.
I’m interested in your American Freedom train, want to share my childhood experience with it with you.
@mrob-p2z oh man, thank you for your interest, Gary and Ryan from “The Trainboard” TH-cam channel reached out Monday to buy it. I’d still like to hear your story though. They purchased a lot of my Santa Fe Black Bonnet stuff last year.
I really like the idea of making the facia part of the scenery. Almost everyone's facia is is woodwork and is part of the table...and looks like it. Ideally you shouldn't be able to tell where the scenery ends and facia begins.
Thank you! My last layout had a finished wood edge, I came up with this idea after experimenting with building with foam. I really like it as well. 👍
Glad your up and moving around. Was great to see you running the Texas Special & the MR. Plus the layout update. You, them, it, all looking good. 👍 God Speed
Thank you 🙂
Hi Mike! Haven’t been on TH-cam much and hadn’t heard about you leg. Glad to hear today you are doing better! God Bless and keep them running! Love watching your trains! Cbtrainnut, Chris!
Thank you Chris! 🙂
Hello MIKE,just came up on your video and started to watch I see that you have ITEMS that you have up for sale I see that you have the MTH WAR BOND SET PENNSYLVANIA J 2-10-4 J along with coal cars and caboose. I AM INTERESTED TO BUY so what would be the procedure to make a sale I am located here in PENNSYLVANIA? I WILL WAIT FOR YOUR REPLY THANKS MUCH DOMINICK.
Hello Dominick! Thank you for checking out my video and your interest in the Pennsy set. It’s a great on for sure. Do you have Facebook by chance?
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies Hi Mike, thanks for the kick back well unfortunately no I do not have face book just an e-mail address to communicate with I am not much of a computer wiz just know the very minor basics. I am a member in good standing of the TCA if that helps any.
@MrDominick4950 that’s great, I am in the TCA as well. I just don’t like putting too much contact info in here because anyone can see it, I usually use Facebook messenger then it’s a private conversation. Let me think of something. I check and see if one of my older email addresses I don’t use for every day stuff is still active and get back to you. Thank you 🙂
I’m rewatching this video and researching will get back to you
I don’t have the 2122020 explorer set. Thanks for asking though.
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies is the acl Lionel set the chrome one and the postwar size aba all with tmcc and from mid 90s? Sorry don’t know how else to describe it
@N_scale hi, yes, purple and silver ABA, 6 chrome cars with black roofs and purple accents. I’m running the locomotive and non powered B and A right now. My cars are still new in box with the twisties on the trucks, I might have to change that tonight. 🙂
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies I think your stuff is too nice for my house lol. But that is a set I want some day for my one daughter cause it’s purple I found out yesterday I had a 100$ credit at caboose stop in Iowa We called Merlyn and Carol. Do you guys have Lionel 86’s? Yes I have PENN CENTRAL and western pacific ok how much. I want 85 ea. brand new. SOLD. So now I will own 3 and I am super excited for these monsters. That place has amazing prices.
@N_scale very nice! I ran the set last night, I think it’s a keeper! Great looking for sure. When you find one for your daughter, she will love it! 👍
Anytime I hear you say "sale" I have to watch. Might be interested in the Base 3. Like you, I want to hear a little bit more about what people are experience with it. Do you have any N&W steam?
I have Visionline Class A 1211, a MTH Premier PS3 Y3 Specialty set with 5 hoppers and a caboose, and the TMCC, odyssey, Railsounds 5 611 J. I haven’t decided if I want to part with the Y3 or J yet.
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies Keep me posted. Interested in the class A or specialty set.
Ok
@luvindemtrains ok, I will, thank you
Very nice! It's good to see you more ambulatory. Your layout is coming along nicely, for sure, with some good room for expansion. My basement is over 1600 square feet, but was subdivided into three rooms by the previous owner, who was a neighbor of mine growing up. I thought about removing one of the rooms, to make the train room 34x28, but I decided to use that room for my slot cars. My layout is a 24x18 L, which works well enough. I really love the Hiawatha passenger cars and they would look fine behind either of the Hiawatha streamlined steam engines. The Texas Special is real nice, too. I'm looking for the AMT version, but it is hen's teeth. An excellent video, as always.
Thank you! That is a great size for a layout you have there. My son Christian and I would love a large slot car room as well. We have so much slot car stuff both HO, and 1/32 that rarely gets used now. We are figuring out a fix for that for sure. 🙂
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies Yeah, that is my problem, also. When I had the pipe burst and flood the upstairs and the basement, I ended up moving a lot of stuff into the room, as the clean-up and remediation progressed. I've gotten most of the stuff out of there and back on the layout, so I'm ready to get the tracks set-up and running again. Keep the updates coming.
I will, thank you!
Always love watching your trains! MoPac Jack Kirkwood, Mo. Prayers To You!🙏
Thank you Jack! 🙂

Mike 1:32 slot cars!? I am looking into these right now and that’s what’s going to be on new layout as a race scene. My dad was big into afx and that’s what we had and still do But now I want 1:32 for going beside the o. Are you Scalextric or Carrera ?
Hi! Very cool, we use Carrera track but have all kinds of different brands of cars.
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies ok is this that 1:24 track 1:32 cars they talk about? 15.5” for 4 lanes width. Oh I am stoked for this trains and slots idea My dad had a online business selling diecast and he had a bunch of 1:50 scale stuff like you have there. Mint stuff. And he didn’t sell it all. He’s pretty sick now he closed his business and me and my mom could check the storage unit for you , get you a list
@N_scale yes, and we have some 1:24 cars, but prefer the 1:32
That is a awesome train layout!
He has great railroad modeling skills for sure!
Williams Weaver MTH all run away from Lionel they 🎉suck 🎉.
Those are some solid brands for sure. 👍
I’m hardcore post war Lionel trains. Lionel trains were built tough to last when they were made here in the states. And they are easy to work on and will last for years and years. Lionel went to crap once they sold out to China, they will never ever be the same and I will never own any Lionel made in China. My parents gave me my very first Lionel train set back in 1965 with the figure 8 track and loved it.
I do love the postwar trains! Those are what drew me to O, used to have fun for hours with my Grandpa running his Santa Fe Postwar set!
My grandma left me a huge lot of Lionel trains , tracks , windmills everything is there a website or address I can send picks to I have no idea about them
If you have Facebook, I’m an admin for Pops O scale Train group. We also have a group “pops round house” for selling trains.
Say, where did you buy the Trick Or Treat Halloween train in your display? Is the train Lionel or a Lemax Spooky Town train and where can you buy one🙏please! I love your Halloween Lemax Spooky Town Village and model train❤
Thank you! The trick or treat train is a MTH. I bought it back in 2017 when they were released. You can check eBay for preowned ones. They come up for sale every now and then. Thank you for the comment! 🙂
Love the Freedom Train! I had had plans, as far back as March, to setup and run a patriotic-themed consist this year, but then a whole bunch of drama (getting laid off from a 25-year career) came along and spoiled it all. It didn't help that my table is out in my oven-garage, but there's good news! My oldest finally moved out, leaving us with an extra room! I still have two younger kids, but now we can move things around, and that has led to a solution for moving my table into an air-conditioned space of the house. If all goes well, it'll be more suitable for holiday-themed layouts, which are my favorite! Can't wait. 🤞
Sorry to hear you were laid off, I hope you found something new. I used to have my layout in the garage as well and still make my Halloween Layouts there so the neighborhood can see while trick or treating. Holiday layouts are my favorite as well, especially Christmas!
Let us know how your planning and construction goes. Gary
@TheTrainboard sounds good! I will Gary.
When it comes to sound sets from MTH, it doesn't matter if the model is Premier or Railking, the sound set is the same. This is something I really like about PS3 (and even PS2). Concerning your 3rd Rail issue, 3rd Rail always insulated their tender (both frame and shell) from the trucks so it is completely insulated from the track. You can take the antenna wire and soldier it to the shell and make the entire shell an antenna, that may be the answer if you haven't already tried it.
Thank you! Yes, MTH gives you good sound whether it’s a Railking or Premier, was is so nice! I did get it fixed by routing up to the top of the tender shell with a longer wire for the antenna. Thank you for the suggestion though. 👍
Nicely done. This locomotive is gorgeous for the money involved. Scott built a beauty then and if the new version gets enough reservations, it’ll be as good or better, albeit expensive in comparison. Never saw this one in person, great job showing the details.
Thank you, it is great looking and very detailed. I saw the price tag on the new one, it is pretty hefty, would be the most expensive locomotive I’ve ever purchased if I decided to order one. Whew!
Get this, I reached out to Ryan Kunkle of Lionel, and he told me the new Legacy C&O F19 Pacific's are going to now be further delayed because of a deco issue they found once they finally got them in from the factory. He said they have to ship them back overseas to China to the factory to correct the issue because they can't do it in-house at Lionel in NC. I went on the FB groups and did the right thing by letting everyone know about that because it was the right thing to do. That's something that Lionel would never do. They did that to all of the Strasburg fans when the Strasburg engine took three years to finally show up. During those three years, they never once kept anyone who ordered updated until they at last arrived. Get this, he was pissed off at me for telling everyone about the updates regarding the C&O F19s. If that was sensitive information, then he never should have told me right from the very beginning. I can do whatever I want with that information. A lot of people who were expecting to get their C&O F19's are now at a loss for words. Screw Lionel! GO MTH!
I know you’re a big MTH fan Alex, I am as well, although at one time I liked Lionel and MTH about equally. I’ve stopped buying new Lionel and continue to buy brand new MTH releases, knock on wood, I have not had an issue with any of the 15 locomotives I’ve purchased since MTH has restructured. Lionel could learn something from them. Now, I haven’t had to deal with any warranty stuff which is my biggest complaint about Lionel aside from quality control that causes the majority of Lionels issues. Mth just has them built right the first time. I saw your post about the C&O F19, I almost ordered three different versions, I even sold my two with Odyssey and TMCC which had no issues, thinking I would order the new Legacy versions, but then I had my falling out with Lionel. I see Lionel hasn’t fixed the quality control issues still. Thanks for your comment Alex, you are right, you had the right to discuss it if it was discussed with you.
Hi Mike! Hope you are healing well. Saw an interesting approach to interior decor using scraps of styrofoam and cement for rock texture. Check out “sultanoffdecor” channel on TH-cam. It’s just another idea one might incorporate into a model train layout.
Hi! Thank you for the tip, I’ll check it out. 👍
Is the sunset models 3rd rail mercury still on sale?
Thanks for asking, that one sold already.
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies so it is off sale now?
@TRAINGAMER132 correct, one of my friends now has it that bought it last summer.
I have the 4126 but it’s screwed up an needs a donor engine
That’s not good to hear, I hope you find a donor engine soon. 👍
How is the smoke output on this model? I own the 6-8702 my dad got brand new in 1980. He handed it over to my when I turned 30.
It has the fan driven constant smoke with not puff. It smokes ok, not as good as new locomotives with synchronized chuff and puff type features.
Two very beautiful locomotives. Who doesn't love the cab forward locomotives. Thanks for another great video Mike.
Thank you
One of our O gauge club members got to ride in the cab of those growing up. His father was the engineer based in Truckee and made the runs from there to Sacramento. Thanks for showing these locomotives.
That would have been awesome to ride in a cab forward, completely different experience. 👍 thank you for checking out the video.
Mike, those cab forwards are growing no me. That's an awesome run happening there. The only issue I see with your layout is that it's not mine. Your setup is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Haha! I love it! That’s the ultimate compliment on the layout. Thank you, and thanks for checking out the video. 👍
NICE VID MIKE. I REALLY LIKE THOSE CAB FOWARDS. WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF YOUR LAYOUT?👍👍
Thank you!, and my layout is 21.5’ x 8’. 🙂
Articulateds are already awesome then you throw that ugly duck cab on lol I want one of these for my n scale . They cost double of a basic o one!!!!
I’ve looked at them in N a couple times also. I’ve been waiting for one someone had already added DCC and sound to. They don’t come up for sale very often. 👍
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies they are plug in dcc ready. It’s a 8 pin I think. Same as con cor zephyr if I remember. They also need big tuneups I am told but can absolutely made bulletproof
@N_scale thank you for the information 👍
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies anything in n scale just ask. Only been in it for 27 years lol. I needed something new to do was at 110 n scale locos and I still will always do that scale But having a lot of fun with o it reminds me of my grandpas Lionel that we ran for hours
Awesome! Thank you! That’s how it all started for me in trains as well, the highlight of the visit to Grandpas house, running his Lionel Santa Fe F3’s with the ballon, rocket launching car, exploding box car, and helicopter cars that he added for some fun besides watching the train run 👍
Love the Cab Forward locomotives Mike! The one on the inner loop looks amazing! 👍
Thank you! The inner loop is the MTH Premier. I do like that one better also, the front has a lot more detail and of course I’m a Vanderbilt style tender fan. Thanks for checking them out. 👍
Wonderful layout sir!! You wouldn’t happen to have a rough track plan to share, would you??
Thank you, I don’t have a track plan, I free handed it with my Kato track I had left from an old layout. Maybe I’ll make one eventually since I’ve been asked several times now. 🙂👍

@user-ig6dm7cq1g 👍
I don't know if you know this but this 3rd Rail has the exact same whistle found in the Legacy model. The only difference is the Legacy whistle is quillable. I have this same locomotive with the number 1651 and I am weighing upgrading the electronics to ERR over the old TMCC. That or go PS3.
Hi! I didn’t know that, thank you for the information. I think either upgrade would be a great choice. 👍
Very nice and patriotic Mike. All these trains are beautiful indeed. Thanks for a great video.
