Today November 30 2016, I am turning 54 years old and watching this video meant a great nostalgic moment for me. When I was 8 or 9 years old, my dad gave me a train very similar to that. It was Trian-g brand and I also placed it on the floor. I wish I could go back to those happy days! Best regards from Venezuela.

I love how realistic they are. I went to a train museum (and they had huge lionel sets as well as real ones) the coupling system is identical, the wheel size proportions are identical, the lights on the tender are identical, even the coupling and connecting rods are identical. The amount of detail that goes into these models is insane, and expensive.

I am 74 years today and I have being into model trains since 2001.i have a large layout in my basement Ho scale.ot my be a toy to some bit it's a hobby for life and all ages.Injoy the ride Hobby Train Inc.

Lionel does need to design transition clips to attach there simulated steel bridge piers to attach to fastrack as the wooden piers would be found only on much older circa RR's or temporary shoring.

I Remember when Fastrack first came out in Michigan a train club bought physically all the track in Michigan so I have to wait for another shipment and when we got it my dog's tags hit both of the rails and made a huge spark and scared the living crap out of her she never went towards those trucks again those were the good old days back when Lionel headquarters was just a few miles away

nice film.

i honestly think the main thing holding lionel back from a younger audience (such as myself) is the price. In todays world Im going to want aphone for Christmas and maybe try to save up for a train set during the year but thats not realistic. If the sets were 40 dollars( which would be easy with lowering manufacturing costs thanks to imports) i think it would help hook younger kids into the hobby i enjoy. (im 13 btw)

@cadenchristiansen3553

Look these trains are bit more expensive to make then You think I once worked at Lionel and the manufacturing cost is about 100-200 dollars per set and then They add 100 dollars to make a profit

Yes, prices for all model railways puts me off.....

thank you for the advice I'm maybe getting my first one today😀😀😌😌😉😉😄😄

How popular are lionel trains these days

I'm considering venturing into O scale, any advice? I will still operate my ho scale layouts but O scale is an option I've got my eye on for a while

I have the polar express but I can't make it long because it's on carpet

2:11 do I need a stopper at the end of my siding?

What if you guys made a cartoon

What should I do if the buttons on my transformer become stuck?

1.8 amps? thats 5 volts right?

I have over 90 ft. of track encompassing an entire room. How do I determine the wattage needed to run the train? Thanks

@MemoriesRR

7 жыл бұрын

Tucker Not Sucker! Unless it is multiple engines wattage is not the issue. Any 80 watt transformer will do. But you must have good power distribution to multiple points around your track by running common and hot pairs from your transformer to these many points. I'd start with an arbitrary every 12 feet. More if the train slows down anywhere in the loop. Trial and error, have fun, learn by experience.

Alex the Railfanning Redneck™ and your budget ,and room seize

Back in the day, I found many aspects of this hobby interesting but the thing I liked best about our Lionel trains was the ability to use remote-control uncoupling to leave a car on a siding or rearrange the cars in a freight consist. At one point my dad and I had Lionel freight trains each with three freight cars (beside cabooses) for a total of six. (My brother's Lionel train had three passenger cars.) Several of my friends had toy trains of other brands but none of them ever built layouts with sidings, let alone using remote control to uncouple the cars. Please "like" my comment if you like to use toy trains for switching operations or if you like to watch other people use remote-control uncoupling in that way.

0:18 are we gonna talk about that the expansion pack cost 99 dollars Plus tax it 100 dollars Thats HALF the price of a normal train set That is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overpriced
