    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Thanks! My dreams of actually having a board layout is dwindling, especially at 60. I do have my plan finalized and I have about 95% of the track, still need a turnout or two and some miscellaneous track sections. What I have on the floor now typical oval with 3 turnouts.. Oh... I didn't...

    Lionel 683173 Single Signal Bridge wiring?

    Never mind, I had to send the 2 I had back to Lionel, there was a design flaw with the signals.

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Dude get real. I live in an apartment that is small. I have a kitchen, bathroom, small bedroom and a small living room. There is no way I can do a layout on a table. I have to make do using the living room floor, so technically i could give a rats butt about industry. All I want to do is...

    Lionel 683173 Single Signal Bridge wiring?

    I bought two Lionel 683173 signal bridge. I went to test them out to make sure they worked before I pack them back up. Both are doing the same thing. Lights green, when train passes goes red, but then the green light starts flickering so you end up getting both lights. Anyone have...

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Nope, I am all steam. PRR E6 Atlantic Yeah, my eye site is failing so smaller scales won't cut it and G scale to big and costly. Once I'm 100% on the plan I will call them and see what they can recommend. I'm already having second thoughts on it, I'd like to get a yard in there some how. I...

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Well right now I have 4 locomotives 5 with the K4 and I'm going try my hardest for an E6. So I need the power and the ability to run them. Okay will do manual, i didn't want wires everywhere on the floor. And with that said, why did I go O gauge. Will pray for you. I'm no spring chicken...

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    So, the Base 3 is the new one? I'm just all kinds of confused lol. I think I might just have to stick with the Universal even though I'll have more then 3 engines. Yeah, I've been watching a few shops like trainworld, etc. I've had some trouble with trainz before listing stuff as new, and...

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Hey, thanks for chiming in! I was looking for the universal, but I'm kind of not fond of it. I may look at other options and see what the price range is before making a decision. At least know I know that'll it work! I've tried the app, not sure I really like it, I thought you would be able...

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm going to need a lot of help.!That K4 locomotive is so magnificent, it’s worth every penny just to have it displayed on a shelf. I'm lucky! 60 is my minimum, although I wasted $$$ buying 72, but oh well. I'll hold on to them That is what confuses me, what you...

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Wow, that's a better picture than what I saw.. Now I'm drooling and depressed knowing that will be the only Legacy I own.. That is one nice loco though. Depression gone. lol

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Hello! Well right now I'm using what came with the sets and I also use the app, but I find that kind of stupid because you can't run 2 trains at once. You have to disconnect to select another engine. I'm doing 2 separate ovals for now. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment, well actually a...

    Thanks, I'll do that!

    Lionel What was I thinking?

    Hello everyone! I'm new here and new to O Guage as well. I have no idea what I was thinking when I decided to do O Guage. To me as a newcomer Lionel makes it so difficult when it should all be easy. I mean you have Lionchief, Vision and Legacy. I wanted to jump right in, but I think I bit...
