and the train it won't stop

I'm adding some die cast vehicles to the layout! Plus, I've got a few kits to build. Just added some pics.....

Thank you! Of course, it will morph and change as time goes by, and ideas hit....

for me, this is not only a layout, but also a test bed for ideas as they come to me...

Looking great!

Since I've been retired, been able to work on the train room layout a lot, and probably have 2 15 minute operating sessions daily. Quite proud of the progress so far....

but it's a " work in progress "..

Great looking Commodore! These wind ups are less common than the electric versions, been wanting one for a while....

It's a whole separate experience.....

I got rid of most of my clockwork in my downsizing but I kept my commie!

And pulling a Lionel tender it can haul lightweight latch coupler cars.

Thanks!

it's a fun little train to run!

But once you turn it loose, it's completely out of your hands......

Golly gee, I love me a good ol' Marx windup! Got a few, they're loads of fun. Just gotta be careful to check when buying, don't wanna spend too much on a non-runner!

Happy winding
