Post pictures of some of your stuff. Layout pictures would be awesome.

1930's Ives "transition" O gauge set (Ives train but the cars and locomotive have Lionel bodies). Ives went bankrupt and Lionel bought Ives. Lionel put Ives plates on Lionel products for a couple of years.

Toccata for Toy Trains (1957)
quote:

Toccata for Toy Trains is a 1957 short film by Charles and Ray Eames, one of several films (including Powers of Ten, made many years later) the husband-and-wife design team made during their career.
quote:

The film features mostly antique toy trains moving within fanciful settings to a toccata. Other antique toys, such as dolls (representing passengers and townspeople), automobiles and horse-drawn carriages are featured.
quote:

Most of the toys come from a mix of museum and private collections, including that of the Museum of the City of New York, and apparently date from before the 1920s. The film is shot from a toy's-eye-view, as if the viewer is following the journey of trains from two cities, beginning with the busy activity of the departure train station and surrounding downtown neighborhood, traveling across the countryside, and ending with trains pulling into the arrival station.

I have an old 2035 at my office but that's the only one I have here. The rest of the HUGE arse collection including the entire New In Box set of the 1976 Freedom Train is at my house:

Mine is actually stuff my Dad had and loved. I doubt I'll ever get rid of it even though it takes up a lot of space.

Your static display looks like dogshit, Broke. Get a piece of track under that locomotive, breh. Wheels going in all different directions and shite. Your dad would slap the shite out of you if he saw that.

My FIL was big into this stuff. Of course he worked on a railroad his whole life.

He had a 400 sq ft garage that was 3/4 filled by his train layout. Even had tracks mounted on the wall around the entire circumference of the garage with removable sections across the doors.

I can't argue with this at all. You're right. I'll pick up track at my Mom's this weekend.

PS My father actually asked me to put it in my office before he passed away.
