The Lights are on in Lionelville - New Video

[Frank53]

Even though my sister weenied out on her Easter trip, I took the time to temporarily wire up all of the buildings in Lionelville and break out a pair of F3s to tote some passengers around. There are more lights than I can count, and I had three different transformers running them all - more to avoid cutting long wires than for power reasons. It's makeshift, but the post war magnetraction diesels got everyone to their destimation:

Thanks for lighting things up for me.  One tip: stop zooming in.  Capture the image you want to show first, and let the train pass before it.  Otherwise, smooth production.  Thanks for the entertrainment.

P.S. Great pics on Sunday photo fun too...

And you say people need Dramamene to watch my videos?!

The only thing more interesting than your layout is your train collection, Frank. Love seeing my 2343s running so well. Enjoy them for now. I still want them.

Hey Frank - nice job! Like the scenic details you captured in that right hand corner shot. Looks great!

I want a new Ferrari in my garage. every morning I go there and every morning I am disappointed that it is not there.

Get used to that feeling.

Frank, I don't want a new Farrari. I want those trains that you offered me.

[Frank53]

Frank, I don't want a new Farrari. I want those trains that you offered me.

The ones I offered to you at an incredibly low price - practically free - and you hemmed and hawed over for a week, after bugging the bejeezus out of me to sell them to you?

Those?

Frank...Next thing Jim will want is your tubular track.

Chuck - you and I both know girly men can't handle tubular track

The offer still stands, Frank. You know where to find me. This time, I will definitely buy them if you decide to part with them. 

[Frank53]

That's what you told me last time!

[Jumijo]

That's what you told me last time!

You know where to find me...

Your "track" record is checkered in this regard. I may have to go the Bay of Eigh route. Besides, I don't know if I could live with myself sentencing those classics to, dare I say it, FastTrack.

[Jumijo]

 

I'm telling you publicly that I'll buy them. And to offset the Fastrack sentence I'll just say this. They would be going to a loving home. One in which a dad shares the hobby with three incredibe  kids. And when the kids are grown and the dad is long gone, the memories of those times together running trains will live on. And I can also gaurantee you that one of those kids, my son John, would cherish those trains well into the latter half of this century, when the 2343s will be over 100 years old. He is a certified train nut. He stayed up late to "help" me install a new smoke element in our 2037 this weekend.

So if the time comes for you to sell, email me and I'll send you a check within 24 hours.
