Hello all,
I have a rather large antique collection of model trains and tracks. They are in very good condition, they just need to be cleaned and dusted off. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced appraiser who would be able to take a look at the collection? Thank you very much for your time!

Once I saw this steam locomotive New...
L.R.R.C. Year 2000 Lionel travels at a high rate of speed, but only a fraction of how fast it is capable of traveling. I reckon this locomotive can travel 2 to 3 times the speed it would take to jump the rails while turning on an 054 curve.

For the last time, now through the Holidays, they are running Night Trains in St. Paul, MN. This is it! They've lost their lease and the layout will be taken down. As of this writing they do not have another site to set up at. Here's some video I shot last weekend...
If you've never been to EnterTRAINment Junction in West Chester, OH, it is the most impressive G-Scale layout I've ever seen. They were kind enough to allow me to shoot some spectacular video, including CAB RIDES, of several of their Main Lines, which cover three different eras: Steam...

If you're ever near Rhinelander, WI, be sure to visit the historic Logging Museum's basement. There's a little known HO-scale model railroad layout there that is an exact replica of Rhinelander during the Great Depression era.

Took a trip into the Northwoods of Wisconsin over the weekend and visited two Model Railroad layouts. Shot video of both, then was invited to do a couple of the club member's private layouts. One of them was model in S-Scale (1/64th), and it was quite unique, so I thought I'd share it with the...

Hi Everyone,
I recently completed a custom Z scale briefcase layout. I did an enormous amount of work on it and made it very detailed. I then created a website, http://www.CarlettaTrains.com, about it which has a "How To" section along with pictures of the various scenes and extra detail...
