    As usual you're taking me back to happy childhood times. My parents made Christmas magical for us kids, as they grew up in the Depression and didn't have much.
    Merry Christmas Scott!! 🎀✨🎄🕊✨🎀

    I am sure that the set up will look great when you are done with it, Scott. Please take good care of yourself. Perhaps, you should have a big mug of hot tea with honey and lemon, and a double shot of something for medicinal purposes. Do be well and be happy.

    Oh Scott, i was thrilled to see this special train again! My Daddy bought me an Elco set in the early 50's before he passed in 54 but my little brothers nearly destroyed it. Over the years my mom made sure that it was salvaged and gifted it to me and i found a train guy a few years ago to refurbish it. I had two engines, a flatcar, a box car, the caboose and the transformer. I passed it on to my adult son a few years ago but have never seen it set up. Thank you for showing us your treasure🥰🎄🎄🎄🎄

    So cool to see Scott 🚂! I vaguely remember the tracks & feeling quite capable being able to hook them together as a 3-4 year old . My two older brothers were the real engineers. How magical it was under the tree in the evening with Christmas music playing softly🎄. Why come to think of it, I think that was the Christmas I swear I actually saw Santa 🎅 from my bedroom window flying in the dark moonlit sky. Sleigh & reindeers too…for real! ❤

    Yay🎉 I have vivid memories of a slot racing car set in about 1964-65's Christmas. I remember the sparks, that buzzing sound while it was connecting to start moving, and the size of the cars being so much bigger than today's race tracks. I remember my Dad using black electric tape to affix coins onto the cars, which I believe was to weigh them down to prevent them from spinning out in the curves. I was about four or five years old.

  • @carolm3468
    @carolm3468 День тому +1

    When I watched you match up those tracks to connect them, it was as though I just did that yesterday. My brother, 1947-1972 also had a Lionel train that we all used to play with. Such a memory! So glad you went to the trouble to bring the old train out!

    Oh! Merry Christmas, Scott. I didn’t think you were going to run the train this year! I can’t tell you how happy it has made me to see your train running around the tree. Thank you so very much for this vid. For many years we had many sizes of trains running around at Christmas, and lots of other times as well. Everything from a very small train on my son’s long-ish desk, and in the entire living room (where the tree was) to my old Lionel, and then the big LGB. It was wonderful. Thank you very, very much. But please get well.

    Merry Christmas Scott. It’s so nice to see the train out and running again this year. I can’t believe it’s been five years since you last had it set up. I hope whatever you have clears up soon. If not, please go to the doctor. Again, Merry Christmas to you and your family.🎄🚂🕊️😉

    Scott, I know that 'toy train smell' very, very well! It wasn't Christmas at my childhood home without my brother's toy train set up under the tree! Since he was quite a bit older than me I had to 'beg' him to let me 'drive the train'! Every once in a while, if he was feeling generous, he would allow me to turn the handle on the transformer! I would grin from ear to ear, until he would tell me, "OK, that's enough!" LOL! Thank you for sharing this with us! It's great to see the 'old girl' up and running again! 😍
