Trains in 2018 and 2000

Trains Move to Basement

This year we setup the O-gauge trains and decided to use the basement instead of the lower level. New features in 2018 include:

  • Extension into back bedroom
  • Spotlight car, crane car from eBay
  • Additional track and switches from Craigslist
  • Additional houses from neighbors yard sale and Doug's birthday
  • Lego section which kids enjoyed

We had lots of folks over in small groups. A few trains ended up on the floor, but no permanent damage - although we will probably be picking "coal" out of the rug for a few months. RJ became proficient at running multiple trains and switching them between tracks.

Below are a few pictures of the layout

 

Time Warp: Trains from December 2000

While cleaning up some computer files, I ran across a disk labeled "Bob's Train Garden" that had some files from December 2000. Doug must have driven up from Washington DC to help set them up. Several of the pieces should look familiar!
