My older brother and I had Lionel trains as kids back in the 40’s and 50’s. Dad worked for EMD of GM. I setup an HO layout for our kids back in the 80’s, took it down but saved the buildings, etc. My brother had a setup and when he passed in 2022 I melded parts of his and my old stuff. My layout is set in northern AZ late 1800’s early 1900’s. I do not like plastic, so I go to train shows and purchase wood kits. I am a woodworker, so my layout is woodworking in minature.
