Too bad it doesn't run. It would make a nice under the Christmas Tree display. Like your imagination...

HOexplorer - That is nice. I really like the sweeping curves, trestles & scenery.

I spent a lot of time & money riding the Dips in West View Park after I was tall enough to ride.. Also the Racing Whippet, a dual track with competing car sets.

A very interesting video with lots of insights & ideas. As a side note, one of the first things I noticed after the G&W takeover was the yard in McKees Rocks was substantially cleaned up. Looked a lot better afterwards.

I was (am) impressed with your stock pens. Very nice work on them.

NP2626 Duh! Your question was "Can it still be that popular", not what makes it popular.

If they didn't sell, manufacturers wouldn't make them.

I agree with the above post. Everyone I knew in the 40s & 50s had O-27 gauge trains, except for my one friend who ended up with 2 American Flyer trains. With just 2 tracks and those whitewall wheels, he made us all envious. But I ended up going from my Lionel O-27 to HO in the middle 50s.

Hey Chip,
I do remember you back when you had the health food store. Seems to me that you gave that up & was doing something else. Might be wrong about that though. I also recall you always had interesting posts about the club you belonged to. Anyway, glad to hear you are returning & hope you...

I'm one of those guys who hasn't had a layout for many years, but that hasn't diminished my attraction to the hobby. My ranking of my favorite aspects lately would be:
Railfanning - I'm fortunate to live near a busy Norfolk Southern line and the wife & I railfan almost every weekend.

Truth be told, I suppose I'm all over the map with this. Basically, I collect locomotives for railroads that run, or have run in the past, in western Pennsylvania. So I started to add freight cars for those railroads as well. But, I have been known to weaken and acquire others that simply caught...

Mike - I just thought of something. If you have a fire station, police station or a municipal building, you could put a fire call box near the main door. In some smaller communities, pulling the box would set off a siren to alert volunteers. A police call box could notify a county or district...

I don't recall any of the boroughs or townships around here having call boxes in that time frame, but the city of Pittsburgh did. I'm also not sure of the dates, but I think Pittsburgh fire boxes were phased out in the 70s or 80s. Police call boxes were probably phased out earlier with the...

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to all of you & your families. Santa's helper (the mailman) just rang the doorbell & delivered a present from my wife. It's a BLI SW1500 in the US Steel Clairton Plant paint scheme. A really nice addition to my Western Pennsylvania collection. Hoping you get...

I enjoy some aspects of the show, but the fake drama is a little over the top and completely unneeded. Got so bad on one episode I turned it off.

"The question will remain, was this the best solution?"
From the results shown, I would have to say absolutely...
