Train layout thread

[Chiefmcfuz]

Anyone have a train layout? Please post pictures if you do. I am in the process of planning an O gauge permanent layout. Up until now I have been just setting up temporary floor layouts. Here is my last one. Some power issues but I hope to fix it with a better transformer.

Looks like fun lol

Lots of fun especially after you hook up the operating tracks and put the operating cars on the track. All 3 of the locomotives I am running are remote control locomotives so you can walk all around the layout. I am using the option of a traditional transformer so I can also use all of my old non remote controlled locomotives as well.

The old video is a modified version of the horseshoe curve set. My son figured out how to add the grade crossing and we ran the set. It is transformer controlled only with digital railsounds. Really cool set.

Looks great B!

I've got G scale. LGB
They are really big and take up more room than I want to commit to them at the moment. So no setup at this time.

Unfortunately LGB closed shop a number of years ago. They are great trains but they apparently couldn't make it in the market. Trying to find new old stock that is reasonably priced has been a challenge.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Russ I remember you saying that you have G scale trains. That is awesome. Trainz.com has stuff from LGB. So does trainworld.

 

[masterswimmer]

B, the operative word in my post was 'reasonably' priced. The prices folks are looking for these hard to find items are ridiculous.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Yeah, reasonable pricing is not reasonable anymore throughout lots of hobbies lol.
