I decided to start the thread this weekend, later on Saturday night.
For sometime now I have wanted to share a visual image of our operation at the Great Mall of the Great Plains, in suburban Kansas City (Olathe, KS). At this time I don't have videos of our largely postwar Lionel layout; that will be coming soon, and I may take a video tomorrow. Just this week we got all three primary loop areas functioning.
The video clip that I include here is of the other, more established G-Scale layout which is directly across from our layouts (there is an HO layout in our bay). We are all part of the same group located at the southeast entrance. These are large layouts in large storefronts.

The train layouts are a great draw for the mall. The children and many adults enjoy what we are doing there.
I hope you enjoy this opening teaser as well.

Here is my new mth water column . How do you think the placement of this is..?
Here is a "real" Classic Toy Train. I must be regressing to my childhood, I love train layouts that looks very toylike. This is an example of "real" tinplate trains, a Hafner/Wyandotte windup all tin trainset from about 1950. The layout includes cardboard buildings and accessories from the 1950's. The autos are "Dimestore Dreams" repros that were origionally form the 1940's - 1950's.
All look good today. David your Hafner set-up blew me away made remember of seens I would of seen when I was about 5 or 6 what a flashback you created there looks like a store display back in the late 50's or early 60's to me thanks for sharing.

I made this video for the Grandson, who gave me the AEC Glow in the Dark Tank Car for my birthday. He found the AEC Glow in the Dark Tank car in an 2009 Lionel Catalog and he insisted that was the gift he wanted to give me for my . (BTW, he's learning to read from those Lionel Catalogs.)

I used my point and shoot and this is a test to see how good or bad the clip is.
