    That is fantastic. Just like a Postwar Display layout. Thumbs up. Thank you for sharing.

    Simply wonderful your layout really evokes the look and feel of a lionel dealer layout. I love the vintage motor sounds, the black bake lite, the big orange buttons and the sound of the train running around the tubular track. You can't get that sound with fast track.

    Very nice layout. As a recent retiree, I have rekindled my love of Lionel trains.I have a nice collection of engines & cars from when I was a kid in the 50s & 60s and all I need now is to build a layout and enjoy. Once again, nice layout.

    That is a great first layout. You accomplished your goal of a dealer display look. I know I would have loved to have a layout like that when I was growing up. Thanks for sharing.

    Nice work. I probably saw a replica of my 1940x white refrigerator car stand for the last time. Mine was sold B/4 1960. I do remember my Lincoln Logs and Erector set which gave me hours of pleasure. I really wish these toys were not sold or given away as they can not be replaced.

    you nailed it kid! very cool, it just is Lionel display layout. great how you wired the accessories and switches on fixed voltage, so much better. this is exactly how a young person would've done it, then slid it under the bed, great hobby to teach planning and wiring and patience!

    Out standing, I`m building a 12' x 8' layout with Lionel and Marx all prewar hardware . I mounted the Lionel tender whistle in side the water tank . I have three postwar lionel engines and five prewar custom painted Marx , that will knock your eye out .

      Exactly, I want to show that you don’t need a big space for an O gauge layout. Thanks for watching!

      Like to do the same with my layout, it's a postwar style O-27 line. Small space, big fun.

    • @DucknCoverin
      @DucknCoverin Před 6 měsíci

      It’s wild how this is running in almost the exact footprint of my old N Scale layout. In my opinion this is why post war era model railroading and the old trains are making a comeback. A lot of it doesn’t need anything bigger than O31 to run. Also doesn’t take a fortune in highly detailed landscaping and structures. The improvised not quite to scale look is part of the charm. Decent running examples of conventional post war locomotives can typically be had for a fraction of the new legacy models.

      @Berkshire736  Před rokem

      Since I’m building my ceiling layout in my bedroom, I’m actually going to take it off the wheels and move it in there and get it mounted on legs once the upper layout is finished. Then I’ll have a pretty cool O gauge bedroom. 😉

    I see you are using an insulated track section for your crossing gate and gateman and wig wag

    Just subscribed. Like your layout. Looks like Kittworks track plan really neat. Neat locomotives.

  • @SOU6900
    @SOU6900 Před 2 měsíci

    Is the track O or O-27? I'm assuming it's O since the ties aren't brown and you're using 022 switches.
