Here's my train room. I have H0, including Bowser engines. Vintage H0, includingTyco, Rivarossi, Fleischmann, Varney, and others.
Also, N guage, On30, Lionel, and American Flyer. I like it all!
I run G in the backyard. The blue and yellow Gp20 is my Tyco from 1969. Still runs, but traction tires and light bulb is long gone....
I just like running trains !

Lot of memories there.
I had the Mantua Tyco blue and yellow GP20 #5628, as did my sister (same one).
Dad and I built a Bowser mikado once (their in house painter even painted the finished model for us). Sorta wish I'd kept that one.
I still have one Mantua Tyco trolley from childhood that runs fine, but all the other stuff has been replaced.
My oldest locos are a couple years old. My son has one MTH diesel that is 7 or 8 years old.

The Bowser kits were awesome! Quite rugged. I wish I hadn't procrastinated and bought more than the 3 I built. Wanted the M-1b and T-1. I bought a lot of Pennsy in H0, was moving in that direction at one time.Including brass, United/ PFM and Westside. Then went heavy into Garden Railroading. Now I just like everything, and I have a lot of everything.....some would say too much.....
That looks like a great place for someone that really loves their model trains.
Thank you for sharing.

I asked my doctor if I gave up delicious food and all alcohol, would I live longer? He said, "No, but it will seem longer."

Well said. Enjoyed your photo album. Thanks and regards, Peter
Thank you all for your comments!
I am happy with how it is turning out so far. Incorporating my original Tyco trains brings it full circle. There is a bay window caboose in the pictures that I have silvered the roof. This is one of the two remaining pieces of a Marx road/ rail set from around 1963.
My roots!

a RomanceCar GSE from Tomix on the outer track
a Shinkansen E6 from Kato on the inner. They are both 7 car sets.
Like looking in the window of an ice cream shop..... you can see every flavor of Model Railroading! Looking back out that same window all you see is smiles!
Love that water tower in the background.
Very nice room!
Clear Ahead!

PM, thank you!
Funny story about the water tower: I built several Walthers Cornerstone kits in HO. There always seemed to be extra and alternate parts that were not used. So,I ended up with a box of extra parts, enough that I actually was able to come up with two extra buildings, the water tower detail being one of these....
