    No, but I'll probably be spending Saturday evening with Mr. Neil Young, Lionel enthusiast to end all Lionel enthusiasts. Does that count?

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Never picked them up myself, but I gotta say I have seen a few of those full room sets. Pretty impressive. A lot of detail goes into all those sets and I kinda admire that. But when the maker puts on a Conductor's hat, I gotta leave the room.

    I am lucky enough to have a Lionel O gauge display layout with two train sets from the early 60s. Just never seem to get around to redoing it. Cangooner you are a lucky dog.

    Well there is a New Haven F-3 Diesel A&B units with 5 aluminum passenger cars. There is also a Class J Northern 746 with tender and 6 assorted freight cars plus caboose. The layout is run by the old original ZW transformer. The bottom level is an oval track with 3 sidings and the upper level is a pretzel-ed figure 8 if that makes sense to you. There is a paper mache mountain through which both levels run. The layout is in sad shape and really needs somebody who knows what they are doing to restore it. The trains are in not too bad shape. Even have some of the boxes that the trains came in.
