I buy all my stuff myself, whatever I own is from me working

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.

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 12. 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.
