Great thought provoking video. Loved the night scene with muti story building lit up, the Milwaukee Road work caboose with a bell ring switcher nearby, the wonderful variety of toy and scale trains, and the realistic scenes tell a story. Very well done.
Lionel just got electric trains right. I have tried other scales, but I keep coming back. The Lionel experience scratches that itch better that anything else. It is like a lot of things, some guys wouldn't have it, some guys (like me) wouldn't have anything else. By the way, I absolutely love your layout and videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. I enjoy vintage trains by other manufacturers such as Marx, American Flyer and Ives, but Lionel will always be #1. Over the years I have had N, HO and Standard gauges, but O gauge just feels right. Ride the Lake Shore Railway any time!
@@JFLionelT-RailOperator you have many interesting things in this video such as the shots of the real locomotives. Did you see those in person? Also, I noticed that aside from one of your presumably, postwar locomotives had one heckuva wheel spin incident. I must ask where did you get some of these more electronic sound effects because I know for certain one of them came from the year 2000 VHS starter guide for Lionell. I know because I’ve seen that before when I used it.
@@lucasquintanilla1673 The real video scenes are clips that are available in my editing program. They are hosted by a German company, so most are Euro. I have to be selective to keep it relevant. There was a wheel spin featuring a Pacific loco and one on the old grade featuring a Berkshire with heavyweights on tubular 072. Some of my sound clips were from Lionel Railsounds tenders and diesels, recorded on the bench. I can sync these with the video track.
I think I got the idea for unit trains from you, back a few years ago, never get tired of it. Hope all is well with you. Happy eclipse day. We should have "totality" if the cloud cover cooperates.
@@JFLionelT-RailOperator have you ever double headed the prewar and postwar scale model Hudsons together? I know that it can be hard to mix and match postwar and pre-war stuff but I know that there are coupler adapters to do that with.
Like Chuck said, the track is Lionel T-Rail. It is solid rail track on diecast ties, introduced in 1935 in anticipation for the full-scale 700E Hudson. T-rail and Lionel scale series equipment was made through the early 1940's, interrupted by WWII, unfortunately never to be produced again.
Always a good variety of operating scenarios, motive power and rolling stock. You have very imaginative productions.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for watching, Steve. Variety is one of the things that helps keep me going.
Nice mixture of this and that. Thanks for sharing.
That could have been a good alternate title for this video.........."A mixture of this and that". I like it. Thanks for watching.
You always do such an amazing job. And now the addition of live steam. You truly belong in Hollywood.
Thanks for watching. Not quite live steam, but some fuzzing of the camera lens and some SP smoke.

Very nice segments and scenes. I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks for watching.
Very nice runbys here! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for watching. Check my other videos, I do a lot of close-up run-by variation variations.
That’s an impressive lineup of bottom dumps 👍🏼🇺🇸
Sounds like you are admiring my unit train of 1940 hoppers. Thanks for watching.

Whoa, that's a lot of wheelspin. Awesome video.
Sometimes is necessary to generate the maximum "SP" type smoke. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for pausing the Lionel 5344 Hudson and cars so I could get a good look.
The 700E is the reason that T-Rail exists, so had to give a good view of it and it's consist. Thanks for watching.
I counted 19 cars behind the 226e double header. Great video Jim

Marx guy here, all the above and feeding the chickens, so there will be eggs for breakfast tomorrow. Depression stay away from my door. EXCELLENT!
When things go sideways, we will all have to make-do for ourselves. Sounds like you already have a good grip on this. Happy eclipse day.

Why do we get involved with toy trains? For all the reasons you listed Jim, and then some!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching. We can make sense in this world of the things that make sense to us........makes sense?
@@JFLionelT-RailOperator Perfect sense! Our layouts are our own little worlds where EVERYTHING makes sense.
Until it doesn't. "Oh NO!"
Cool setup
Thanks for watching.
Is that Super O track?
Special made T rail track for his prewar Lionel 5344 Hudson. You don't see many of those running.
