Union Pacific CA Freight Train
A new addition to my post-holiday layout is a combination of Union Pacific, Western Pacific, and Thunder Valley Railroads. These railroads have a historical connection to California, and this train and video is dedicated to the people and first-responders of southern California who are dealing with the January, 2025 wildfires.

ELVIS 90th Birthday Tour
มุมมอง 10228 วันที่ผ่านมา
In honor of Elvis Presley's 90th Birthday (Jan 8th), I have reconfigured my current layout configuration to include Graceland and The Palm Nightclub (Dept 56). The train, which includes 2 customized Alco locomotives (formerly Santa Fe 8913 and 8919), is called The TCB Express and includes ALL of my Elvis freight cars. This train will run for the rest of January, and this version of the layout w...
Christmas Layout 2024, Vol 2 - Dad's Train
มุมมอง 429หลายเดือนก่อน
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 bett...

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...

It's Halloween Season, 2024, in our favorite little upstate town, Cairo, NY. Soon, the moon will be full and our friends from Ancient Aliens are still on tour.

The General has arranged for the Groom Lake Railroad to make a detour through the town with the hope that the Grays will show their hand....buckle up,...

Resident Ancient Aliens, Live from NY! / March 2024
มุมมอง 85610 หลายเดือนก่อน
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...
The Legend of Cairo, NY ... Pt 2 [Halloween, 2023]
มุมมอง 72ปีที่แล้ว
Every good layout [movie, story] deserves a sequel! Here is mine... After 4 years of relative peace and quiet, the good people of Cairo, NY are once again in the paranormal crosshairs. It's ALL Hallow's Eve...the moon is full...the End of the Line Express is transporting the King Tut Exhibit...and the museum curator / aka Egyptian Priestess, Li Nel O Tep, is at it again. This time, she has pier...
Close Encounters of the Lionel Kind
มุมมอง 21ปีที่แล้ว
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...
Lionel Christmas Train for 2021
มุมมอง 30ปีที่แล้ว
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]. The buildings are mostly Dept 56, with a few others. I also made my own lit Christmas Tree in the center of t...
Last Train to Graceland / Troy, NY 2021
มุมมอง 12ปีที่แล้ว
I combined the best of my Dept 56 buildings, which includes Graceland and the recently acquired Palm Lounge with Elvis sign. The freight train features the 2035 steam locomotive and 2020w whistle tender from my dads original set. The rest of the train features newer Elvis commemorative cars produced by Lionel over the last 20 years. In the background, you can hear the song Memories, sang by Elv...
Halloween Layout 2019 - The Legend of Cairo, NY...Pt 1
มุมมอง 18ปีที่แล้ว
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]......
