Christmas Layout 2024, Vol 2 - Dad's Train
I have once again gone into the Conductor Vin RR archives and assembled the Lionel Train that started it all... My dad's 1951 set with 2035 locomotive, 2020W tender, and assorted freight cars. My only modification was the caboose... The original was unlit, no windows, so I swapped in a newer generation lit caboose, same color and still Lionel Lines... The light at the end of the train is a better look! This train looks great on my 2024 layout, which also includes a recently added TrainMaster Signal Tower and Signal Shack in the opposing corners. 'Tis the season to be sentimental.... Here's to you, Dad!

This is a second video of my 2024 Holiday Layout, shot with a better phone and showing the addition of the Nativity Scene in front of the Church rectory. There is plenty to see as the Winter Wonderland Railroad makes its way through our lovely city of Metrodale. This train includes the Winter Wonderland RR locomotive, tender and caboose. In between, we have the bobbing-head reindeer car, the Sa...

This is a modification of my Halloween / Spooky Egyptian / Cairo, NY layout. I swapped out the ELX train with my version of an Area 51 train, added a space ship and some aliens, and combined it with my love of two TV shows, Ancient Aliens and Resident Alien. The guys from Ancient Aliens are actually on a Live Tour, so you'll see the sign for that on the Bijou Theater. There's lots going on in t...

Close Encounters of the Lionel Kind
มุมมอง 19ปีที่แล้ว
Instead of doing a total Halloween set-up [as I did in 2019], I wanted to have some fun. I recently pieced together my own version of a Lionel Area 51 / Groom Lake Rail Road, with some custom touches and plenty of little 'visitors'...can you see and find them all? For those who remember, the music in the background is Meco's version of the Close Encounters theme. Makes me wish I had a Devil's T...

This is my first Christmas layout since moving to Troy, NY. The layout includes Lionel locomotive, tender, caboose from the Winter Wonderland Railroad and some other cars [reindeer transport, reindeer chase, poinsettia music car, Santa radar car and K of C Keep Christ in Christmas car].

Halloween Layout 2019 - The Legend of Cairo, NY...Pt 1
มุมมอง 15ปีที่แล้ว
This is the second appearance of the Lionel END OF THE LINE EXPRESS with added King Tut Transport for the theme. I've acquired a good assortment of Lemax Spookytown Bldgs [such great detail]. This is without a doubt the boldest layout I have ever done, and it fully embraces the Halloween and Egyptian themes. I even came up with a backstory..."The Legend of Cairo, NY" [a real upstate NY town]......
