Great Toy Train Locomotives Puzzle
This 500-piece puzzle features some of the greatest toy train locomotives of all time!
I kinda have a milk car just like it and i still have to get the stand and the milk cans because i just got it.
I would have enjoyed the videos more if you zeroed in on the scene from a wider angle giving a fuller view of the layout and the context of the action. Nevertheless the video was pretty good.
Inspirational! I am in the planning stage of my "retirement layout" and this video gives me ideas and encouragement.
Very, very impressive. Inspires me to hurry up and get my layout finished so my grandson can play with it. He turns to in June and will be ready to start playing with those trains. Thanks!
Bravo……. makes me want to go down to my own train room and fire up the classics! Great lighting and sound, I finally got my fork lift running smooth. I will be back to watch it again1
Very Good
I LOVE your layout!
Very nice video, lots of action.nice sound Good Job
Jon….your layout is a winner!
Hey, Jonathan. Great layout! Didn't know you were a train guy as well as a sailor and DJ. Are you still racing Tucks? I just bought a half interest in No 172, and will be racing it next season. Contact me when you can. joemccann@att.net
Great video and layout. This will help me get my behind in gear to finish tearing apart my old layout and get started on the new one. Thanks!
Guys,
Thanks for all of your nice comments. And thanks to Joe McCann, my long-suffering sailing instructor from days of yore! You'll be hearing from me soon!
Excellent! Love it man!
That was pretty cool! Takes me back to 1959.
I always love looking at videos of toy trains. It really takes me back to my childhood and my first Lionel layout (age 1month, I guess my dad couldn't wait.) and the trains of my childhood.
A top-notch video. Everything worked properly.
You Guys did it again !!!! This has to be one of the best Videos of all time !!!
These are the best working accessories that Lionel ever made and to see them working after 40 years again was a real treat !!! Thank you Jon and
CTT !!!!
Very good my wife and I really enjoyed it, we very rarely see Lionel or any US train layouts here in UK keep up the good work
Well done. I really enjoyed watching the video.
very nice,
thanks for a very good show looks real
Reminds me of 50s TV when Captain Kangaroo had the Lionel trains on and we'd see all of those incredible accessories working!
Outstanding very good. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent close up action of Lionel operating cars and trains. Enjoyed it very much.
Really nice job. Much better seeing it in action! And all of the accessories worked flawlessly! (At least in the final cut!)
