rtraincollector, until I recently got my first two pre-war cars, I had never seen the hook and tab type couplers - very interesting. Alfred

Denny, nice acquisition. Do you have any other pacemaker cars? Alfred No that's it for now. I'm slowly building a pacemaker consist. I wasn't looking for them they just kinda fell in my lap.

Alfred in prewar Lionel actually had 3 different types of couplers. what I call hook and tab, not sure if it is correct name  Latch coupler  And then box coupler only on O gauge, the previous 2 were on both O and standard gauge.

Just 14 grey "A" size trestle piers. I decided to completely elevate the O27 track oval on the 4' x 4' platform that I am using as a play surface for my granddaughter. In this way, I can run HO underneath, and there will be more area for her Brio trains. Alfred

I picked up a new set today. Was not on my list but when I saw it I really wanted it. New old stock. MTH 4-6-4 Hudson Chesapeake and Ohio with 4 cars.
Sorry no pics at this time because they appear to be too big in size to upload. When I try they show up upside down. Always happens to me for some reason. Very annoying.

Picked up these restored Lionel Postwar small passenger cars at a train show a couple weeks ago. The gentleman that restores tinplate is a perfectionist and the quality of his work shows it. Bill    |

Very annoying. settings on your camera. smaller jpeg is what you need, there is a setting on most cameras to change the size . . . or, you can import the existing pics into MS Paint, resize them and save as copies. Easy-peasy . . . Or, just upload the pics to a sharing site like Shutterfly. com, then paste the pics' address into the post at full size.
