This is what I have. A lionlel line 2-6-2 #2026 in excellent condition. All the cars are in mint condition and never ran until last year. I aquired the flatbed crane car this year for my birthday. I have been told it is a pretty rare find. Sorry no x-mas tree pics we just moved last week and decided not to set it up this year.[sigh]









Here’s mine:

No EZ track for a layout after I sent it away to Kobi. I left the Maerklin Equipment and track down in Rhode Island so no layout for me this year.
I have some Maerklin pix from a couple years ago.
I’ve also included a CRUDE map :slight_smile:

Its quite fun. I can operate 4 trains independently with Maerklins System which is somewhat like a very simple DCC system.

I usually have a switcher working the small yard (in North Grafton, not the Passenger+Work Train Yard in Grafton Center) which doesn’t interfere with mainline trains by use of a double slip switch. Sunnyville is where the lines divide to circle the tree to access The North Woods, the German Federal Railway Interchange, and the Pine Needle Supply Farm. There are 2 sets of remote crossovers near Sunnyville (The long straight run towards Sunnyville is beneath the sofa…) I can run 3 mainline trains consisting of a local passenger, and express passenger, and a fast freight. If I want something more fun I will give the Fast Freight a hotbox and have it stop outside Sunnyville, so we would then have to operate on single track between Grafton and the North Woods. :slight_smile:

Time for pictures lol…


The first train of the day is not very well patronized and only suggests a short train of small older wooden coaches.


The Express Train from Sweden has arrived in Grafton. After Turning the Set on the balloon loop, they backed her into the station.


The work train sits int he Coach yard in Grafton.


A rush hour commuter train emerges from the Tunnel Under Sunnyville.

Here’s my Christmas video from last year.

Don’t have a tree this year, and the Lionel is packed up for now. With two cats (one still in the kitten stages), I’ve decided to play it safe and pack up the Lionel for now and not deal with a tree and keeping the cats out of it.

Here’s a couple of pictures of my old Lionel trains setup in front of the Christmas tree.This train is pre-world war two dating back to about 1935 and still runs!

This was my Dad’s , and I also have freight train also .The engine is a Commodore Vanderbilt, pulling 3 passenger coaches.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
