    Excellent Q & A. I've been an O gauge model railroader ever since I saw my brother's trains running. He ended up giving them to me and I still have them, plus many more. My new layout is a 18'x24' L. I have the inside main set-up and running, so I can get the placement of the town and commercial/industrial areas just right. The track will come up after York, so I can get the scenery started. Hopefully, by June, both mains will be running and the scenery fairly complete. It won't be as super detailed as yours, as it will be more of a tinplate/high rail layout, but it will be nice. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at York and getting some good ideas. An excellent video, as always.

    I mainly run O scale but I also have HO scale, S scale, N Scale, and even Hornby UK OO scale and Lionel Prewar OO scale. Disclaimer: Lionel Prewar OO scale is not the same as Hornby UK OO scale as the Lionel Prewar OO scale runs on its own OO scale track that is 3/4 inch or 19 mm gauge track compared to HO and Hornby UK OO scale trains that run on 16.5 mm gauge track. Speaking of Lionel prewar OO scale, its really neat with the hudson, freight cars, and the bakelite roadbed the track came with. If you can't find the original Lionel prewar OO scale track thats alright its not common to find these days but gargraves has their own american OO scale track in both 2 rail and 3 rail forms at the gardner the train doctor website

    Fun video Chris! So a 700e's your "Holy Grail?" Understandable, it's the seminal Lionel collectible engine for all of us!
    I can understand the rush you got holding one, several years ago I was lucky enough to hold a Pre-War 226e, essentially the "budget" high-end engine from Lionel and a contemporary to the 700e. Call me crazy but I'd swear I could FEEL the power of American industry in 1941, the industry that was going to crush Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in a few years, and just from holding that toy! They say the best historic artifacts have the ability to pull you back into their own time, even if it's for a second or two and that Lionel certainly did! I've got to get me a 226e one of these days. I'm patient, I can wait.

    Ok you asked! Why not O Scale? Easy. 3 rails. I personally prefer S Scale. If I did O Scale it would be 2 rail O. Now my question for you. My S Scale has American Flyer with TMCc and Legacy engines and some MTH S Scale with Proto 3. Both brands are DCC ready Although limited sounds . So my Question to you is, do you think I should just go with a DCC system instead of buying all the stuff to run both systems? Also most of my older American Flyer has been converted to DC can motors which could easily have a dcc decoder added for Lights and Motor control. What say you Chris? Thanks for all your videos and the great things you do for our hobby. @ Cbtrainnut on CZcams! Enjoy York!

    I have a prewar 763e should I consider trying to refurbish it? The tender has these weird paint chipping on the side that kind of resemble if it was shot at in miniature. Is it worth it? Will is be extremely expensive? Would it devalue the locomotive significantly? Any answers would help😊

    • @wayneantoniazzi2706
      @wayneantoniazzi2706 Před 5 měsíci +2

      That's a good question and you'll probably get lots of different answers. My opinion (obviously without seing your 763e) is if the paint on the engine and tender is 85% intact or better leave it alone. From 70% to 80% percent I'd say it's a judgement call as in get some opinions from locals in your area, a train show's a good place to start.
      If the finish is 65% or less I'd say do what you want.
      Again, just my opinion. Others may disagree and that's fine.
      I've refinished two of my Post-Wars, a 736 and a 2065. The original finishes were rough and lifeless and besides Post-Wars aren't bringing the money they were a few years back anyway so I didn't see the harm in indulging myself.

      Hey Chris. I'm a cheap skate so I just sprung for 11 bucks for a couple of Bluetooth speakers, downloaded free railroad sounds of all types and put the speakers in a box car. With all the other freight sounds from locos, sound cars etc..these things sound awesome. You've probably tried that already. Great for Post War stuff.

    What scale do I run? Trackmaster! No, but in all seriousness, I… do run Trackmaster. I don’t have the money or space for actual model trains.

      As long as trains are running and you are having fun, that is all that matters! Plus you can do so many layouts with trackmaster. My kids have some of these sets and I still tinker with them!

    O gauge or no gauge!! I was started in HO at an early age but jumped to O when I was old enough to buy my own equipment. Just something about this style. Still have the very first HO consist i was gifted though. At my current age and eyesight anything below O is just too dang hard to see lol!

    Who designed and built the union pacific big boy. Why did the triplex Erie addition only travel top speed of 15 miles an hour. Was the triplex a pusher or puller.
    Solid rail better or worse than hollowed track.

    Do you have any advice for someone who wants to get there trains off the carpet in the basement and on to a table

      I'm tempted to say "Just do it!" but I'm sure you need a little more than that!
      So, the quickest and easiest way to do it is find a used ping-pong table. Ping-pong tables are typically 5' X 9' and are large enough for a nice O Gauge layout but still small enough to move around without too much trouble. Check thrift shops or used furniture shops for ping-png tables, maybe garage sales as well.
      Or you can build your own table, there's books available through hobby shops that will tell you how to do it, all you need are basic carpentry skills. It's not hard.

    I've been wondering if you built the 2 gundams that are on your layout? And what scale they are? I have a 1:100th excia inside my wathers railshop on my layout.
