The miniature world of railway modelling

[Ghettoboom767]

Oh my,very nice Tyco Lionel set ups I believe!! I had quite a set up like this when I was like 14-15.
Loved them. But...... when I was real young we had the real trains!!!! The 3 track big boys with steam out of the engine and massive transformers and you could smell the electronics arcing!! Ah yes the good old days!! Those engines weighed about 29lbs.back then!!😮😊😎

BTW where’s Roman our real train conductor?!😮😎

Yeah, the same thing... Here is 2 PIKO FZ1 powerful transformers special for model train layout:

My model train layout is 100% analog, no digital components.
The control of the railway arows is done with these white buttons, like the piano:

Great to see there are model railroad fans here. There are many huge model railroad clubs in Northern California where I live that run Z scale up to Garden scale. One even runs cable driven cars. I don't model much personally because I get to drive trains daily. I'm a freight engineer with BNSF. My run goes from Port of Oakland to Bakersfield about 330 miles. My loads mostly consist of containers unloaded from ships usually inbound from China. We transport everything you could possibly think of and some things you would never want to know about. Controlling a real locomotive is beyond description. Definitely a fun job...who wouldn't want to play with life sized trains for a living?

Thanks for posting this! I would have missed it! I still have a collection of high end Atlas Japan made N scale locomotives. One day I will get back into the hobby. I also have a Digitrack controller where you put mini computer chips in the trains to control each one individually so they do not crash against one another. I miss the hobby. I think we are almost all at the same age where we grew up with one gauge of train or another. Funny as it seems that model railroading is more prominent during the winter months over here and more so with people who have basements to set up a layout. Living in AZ, we really don't have that cabin fever feeling being stuck inside due to bad weather as its always nice out. Screws up with your seasonal internal clock!

Thanks for answer. If you want, you can return to this hobby.
You have all space that you need for good model train layout.

Super high quality job very impressed goodman. I had a set as a kid the smaller one O scale? We ran it off a car battery. The session would always end in a cat and mouse chase. Before it was sold I soldered and filed all the joints and even managed to create a figure 8 in the centre what a joy to be hold. I bet it is still going!
