Darth it originally had a 8E set running on it till the 8E started having some problems so took it down sold 99% of the track just kept enought to display it and built the gauge set up there. presently have O-42 curves up there

JamesP, those are some nice Commodore Vanderbilts there! I prefer to stick with electric trains, but those wind-ups look fun!

rtraincollector, I like that shelf layout! I actually want to make one like that eventually, but for a deep pocket sized Standard Gauge Lionel train. A 381E state set in state green would be the ultimate shelf layout for me, but that won't happen until I have enough income to justify it...

Heres two youtube that I did of my lionel PA-1 its actually A-B-B-A the first one is the actual train running past the camera sitting in a corner the second one is the camera on a flat car infront of the engines and it makes it feel like your in the cab best viewing of these is full screen and turn volume down as was recorded loud by mistake.

Darth, beautiful trains!  Very nice.  To join in the fun, here is a video of many of my Marx Clockwork Commodore Vanderbilts running a lap or two each around my layout:
