My First train
Posted by themattman on Sunday, December 27, 2009 11:43 PM

I just bought my first Lionel Train today. I went to Target and was able to by the B&O Frieght train that they were selling. I set it up and three hours later me and my son said that it was time for bed. Now i have clean out the garage and start building my layout.

I can not wait. That first smell and sight of smoke coming out the engine, was so cool. Anyway i look forward to showing everyone my growth as it happens.

 The Target set is a good buy at the clearance price of $139.99.
