Hey Ya'll

This is a topic for those under 18. We all know there is a few, so talk. Talk about your layouts, trains, recent events, and anything protaining to real trains and 3-rail toytrains.

My name is Nick. I am 13 and have been infatuated with Lionel since I was born.

I have recently gotten my dad into trtains and we will put an around the room shelf layout in our sonon to be finishe 12x18 rec room.

We won't build it until we have a postwar Santafe F3 A-A and a set of super speed liners.

Hey Nick.


My Name is Colin Snell. I am 11 yrs old and I live in Ocean County NJ.

I got hooked on Thomas the Tank when I was three and got into HO model railroading at four.

I don't like Thomas anymore, but I am back to model railroading.

When I was 6, I moved and made lots of new friends. Though trains were not many of there intrests. I stopped model railroading for a while....

Now I am 11. I realized the pain of HO , with the stupid couplers and such, so I got a O gauge Lionel train set "The Pennsylvania Flyer" and now I am into O gauge. But the only thing is I don't have much money, and I can't really afford (right now) any trains. How ever, with O gauge, I have surprisingly got my Dad to enjoy model railroading, and he is now buying track and scenery for me and helping me build Mountians and tunnels, and we enjoy it.


I LOVE O GAUGE! ! ! !

Hey Ya'll

That is interesting. I plan to use gragrves track or Lionel Tubular. We are having a 12x18 Rec Room being built on the house, and we plan to build a Double Track shelf style around the room layout.

Post some pics of layout.

Chalk up another thomas-ho-non-train-O-gauger. My first O gauge set was given to me in my HO period. I finally got it working. I kept in HO for 2/3 of a year, but at my dad said he liked the O gauge, so we are building a layout. I now have an almost-all Lionel collection (I have a RMT beep and a Weaver hopper. My lionel engines are a 1666 prairie, a 259e prewar set, a Frisco Geep, a Santa Fe PA with SignalSounds, and A Railsounds Camelback! My dad and I are getting a ZW for the new layout!
I am 12 and my name is Joe W.
