You can sure pack in alot of stuff in a small area with N guage! Have you ever looked at Z scale,now that small!! That why i pick O guage,i can see it!!!

Yes sir. We have 3 rail O gauge. Mostly MTH, but also some vintage lionel. Used to have a layout a few years back, but since moving we haven't put up a layout except for at Christmas time under the tree. I need to unbox some of our train stuff and put up a layout. I do enjoy the wiring aspect of it. Lot's of fun in the winter time and I just love to watch the trains run. I also love to chase real live steam locomotives when we get a chance. Can't beat the sound of those babies!

Those SD 70 are a beast. I would love to run a real Loco,that would be on my BUCKET LIST.

When I was younger my father and I used to dabble in O vintage, mostly lionel. He is now selling off the entire collection. We had a very extensive collection of plastiville to go with it. If the interest is here I might post some for sale here.

I play with HO when I have the time. I also like building making my own scenery - buildings, etc...

gp 38, gp 38-2, gp-40, sd70, es44...I think that's it. Mostly conventionally run, but coal trains are DP (two locomotives on each end of 135 coal cars at 19,500 tons). I have a few on my phone, but will have to check my computer. I'm an engineer for Kiamichi RR that is based out of Hugo, OK. Our parent company is RailAmerica out of FL.

Aren't those locos all built by GM's Electro Motive Division?
