  1. O Scale
    I just want to start this off with a quick disclaimer: I'm new here and to model trains. I'm going to try and include as much detail in this post as I can, but I'll probably still miss a lot, so feel free to clarify anything that I don't include or don't provide proper detail on. So I'll start...

    Hi everyone, My name is Tony and I'm just starting out in this wonderful hobby at a young 45 years of age. After much debate between HO and O scale, I decided to go with O scale. I purchased a Lionel Union Pacific ready to run set since that's the train I see the most here in California...

    Very nice O scale engine for sale. Looks good and runs well. Has the moving cooling fans which makes it look really cool while running. Both cab doors open. I'm selling only because I bought too many engines at one time and my layout is not all that big. After I had done that someone gave me...

  4. O Scale
    Hello, I’ve been restoring this old Lionel 4-4-2 I got from a flea market- so far everything has gone smoothly, motor runs fine- disassembly was easy. However, I’m getting a MASSIVE headache over trying to reassemble this thing- whether it be the smoke unit not fitting in right, or the when the...

    I am selling the complete Atlas O California Zephyr - in Western Pacific. Set includes A-B-B F3's (all powered) still in the original shipping carton from Atlas. These units are MINT condition as I have not opened the any boxes. In addition I am selling the complete 12-car set of Atlas Western...
  6. O Scale
    Rivarossi & the Indiana Harbor Belt U4a While browsing the internet a while ago I happened upon a discussion about Rivarossi’s O-Scale 2 rail steam locomotive kits, namely their Indiana Harbor Belt 0-8-0 (class U4a). This is a BIG locomotive for an 0-8-0; it is beefier than most Mikados, and is...
  7. O Scale
    I recently visited Big River Train Town in Hannibal, MO--a toy train museum with lots of great Lionel and 3 Rail trains both running and on display. Operator Judy Kleinman is a fascinating soul with a neat story. She let me take some video which I hope you enjoy.
  8. O Scale
    I just ran across this on YouTube. What an amazing job he did recreating the car!
  9. For Sale Elsewhere (eBay, other forums etc.)
    So, I posted some trains I acquired on this forum a week ago. Some older Lionel, Marx, American Flyer trains and a lot of O scale tracks, a transformer, and a DC power pack. I got a friendly message giving some information on them and apparently my starting price was a little too high; I have...
  10. Beginner Q & A
    Hello Everyone, I'm brand new to the forum and to Model Railroading as a whole. I'm in my late 20s and remember the joy toy and model trains brought as a child, and am looking to delve into the world of Model Railroading. I've already been to two shops near me, one of which was helpful...
  11. 4x7 N Gauge Layout

    My Brother-in-Law and I built this back in the Mid 60’s. Took about one year, the tall pine trees are hand made. Today I still have some of the trains. Someday I might put them on ebay.
  12. O Scale
    I just won an MRC Pure Power Dual transformer on Ebay for $113 which included shipping. It has the original box, instructions and is in good shape. I like these units and this is my second acquisition of one. Is it my imagination or have prices on many Lionel "O" scale items come down since this...
  13. O Scale
    I have a 44 ton center cab Leigh Valley diesel, basic model, and it has a buzzing sound that's very loud and annoying and I was wondering how to get rid of such sound. I believe its a contact on the E-Unit that's causing the problem. Any help would be much appreciated!
  14. O Scale
    Hey everyone! This is actually my first post to this forum as I just recently joined last night. I have been looking through threads and have seen how incredibly knowledgeable a lot of you are so I figured Id pick some of your brains for a question to something Ive been thinking about for a...

    Hi, Does anyone know where I can get Pennsyvania Railroad dry transfers in gold or bronze lettering for 3 o scale passenger cars? I need enough to do 1 vista dome, 1 coach, and 1 observation car. TLDiff

    Hello, I have a few Vintage (some still in original box) items on E-Bay that I am trying to sell, please take a look and see if there is anything that might interest you. They are mostly "O" Gauge Locomotives, cars & some miscellaneous items...

    Has anyone have any ideas on the best way to install decoders in loinel, williams, modern engines that use can motors, what type of decoders to use? Where to get them?, or should I just buy new engines with decoders already in them?

  19. Layout Design Forum
    Hi, I am new to model trains and I have a question on a 4x8 layout O scale. I have a fastrack figure 8 which is 40x90. I would like to add another fastrack on the outside of the figure 8. It looks like it would be very close tolerances if it would work at all. I have a 40x60 fastrack to...
  20. Layout Design Forum
    I have looked and looked and cannot find a place that will custom build me a metal archway (like into an amusement park). Our park is being named after a very dear friend and I would love to have an archway with the name at the entrance. Any suggestions?
