Something For Blueberry Hill Chuck

[Frank53]

Did a bit of organizing in the train room today, came across these:

and there's boxes and boxes of it still in the garage. . .

I remember reading somewhere - "You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much tubular track."

Frank- You can have your own Tubular Track Museum complete with displays of different tubular track. I doubt you'll run out of tubular in your lifetime with all that you have. Take Care.

WOW.....now that's a treasure. I only have one box, left over.

Thanks for sharing.

Is that an old Lionel " Z " type transformer, I see ?

You would be correct. I have no shortage of transformers either.

We had just one ZW when I was but a pup, however, over the years, my Dad accummulated a bunch of stuff from neighbors who moved away and what have you. So now I have:

2 ZWs

1 Z

1 1033

1 1029

another packed away somewhere and the one shown below which I bought a while back as part of a collection:

Frank.....That looks like a RW.  That's what I had with my first Lionel set in 1949.

I am envious.

Chuck:

I bought four or five boxes of stuff from a fellow who wandered into teh local shop. It was all as good as that transformer - original boxes (which really don't matter to me - but nice nonetheless), instruction sheets and very very clean stuff.

Here is a link to the stash:

Wow. Wow. Of course, the only true tubular track is 027...

I can relate, Frank!  I've probably got just as much spare tubular track lying around, not counting a big box full of rusted-out track.  Then there are all the cheap Marx transformers, half of which don't work anymore.  There are some things that you just seem to accumulate without even trying when you're in the toy train hobby.  Now, if only F3's and Blue Comets would multiply themselves so fast!

Yes, Frank, I know what you mean.
