So happy. This model train is now ours… Just needs a little love and wiring to bring it back to life. N Scale.

@manton I miss that. I was deep in to model train building back in the 80s. I had a huge layout in the garage of our house back in California on a pulley system to lift it up so I could still park the car inside.

@manton That is awesome, I have so many memories of the model train I had growing up, and mine was simple in comparison to that one.

@hawaiiboy Ha, that's great! I had a set as a kid that took up a good part of my bedroom, and a few years ago started a small layout but never put the time in to finish it.

@manton I've always wanted a model railroad layout. Your picture just sent me down a rabbot hole researching The Polar Express and Hogwart's Express

@manton I've never had a model train set (except for some basic kid ones) but there is a part of me that likes going to exhibitions that come around from time to time. There's so much work that gets put into these models, it's amazing.

@manton OK, I'm legit jealous! I don't have the space for something like this, so I have to live through others. I hope you post lots of pics. :)

@manton that takes me back. Used to have a set on a removable base on top of our snooker table when I was a kid. I wonder if I could do a pulley system in the garage....
