Santa Fe EMD GP40 and an Alco PA1 Running at the Same Time

These look like the Tyco model trains I had as a kid in the 70s.

To the best of my knowledge, my dad bought these items in the 1990's. I don't think he bought anything used, but I'm sure some of this stuff was new old stock, possibly from the 1980's or earlier.

Looks like a lot of fun and a lot of snap track. Also it looks like you have a brass and steel track mixture. nice layout-looks really good though. Have fun.

[@toddbailey1657]

Thank you! My dad had mostly brass track and some nickel silver track that he bought in the 90's. I've also added some nickel silver track that I bought recently for my track expansion projects. 80-90% of this model railroad stuff is from my dad's 1990's collection, and it has been my goal to use as much of it as I can. He did have some old steel track, but I decided not to use it. The steel track and some of the brass track seems to be out of spec and is causing derailments. I'll check it as soon as I get my NMRA track gauge.

Looks like a very nice layout!!! Like your PAs…

[@toddbailey1657]

Thank you. Those PA's are older Athearn blue box engines from the 1990's, and they run great.
