Good day one and all!!
I am hoping some people can give me some good direction as to what to do. I have always enjoyed Model Railroading as a child and now as a 41 year old man I am ready to dive back into it. I recently aquired my Fathers Lionel sets from when he was a child. These trains I am sure need to be cleaned and lubed before I could even think to run them because they have not been run in as long as I can remember. They are all in there original boxes which I am sure adds value to them. I am thinking of starting to erect a table for them in my basement but I need to some direction there as well. I live in Illinois if someone would like to give me some help as to how to get started so that my boys can appreciate these collectors items and put them to some actual use. I guess what I am asking is to see what should I do to get started in this project and if someone knows of some person that I can buy more track from if needed as well other stuff for my layout as well as re-furbish the engines into running condition again. Thank you in advance, your help is greatly appreciated.
In addition I have a old Spirit of 76, HO set in the original boxes if someone would be interested in purchasing it.
Many thanks again!!!
