Great idea! Looks like our 1949 set, we have a few old Lionels also!

Train Mountain was part of the Western Regions Tour this year, which you could see more pix and read about starting on Page 8.

I collect HO scale Schuco Monorails but haven't had them set up in years. If I set them up again, it would be great to find a futuristic Packard model or two to go with it!

My favorite manufacturer is IVES, but they folded in 1930. They did make some magnificent trains though. The copper one is named "The Prosperrity Special".

Dang Randy you do have a collection.. Beautiful
Joe thanks.kbew knew some one would know. That was posted on an 0 ga forum. (0gr). Cool trunk run. Not sure with flyer. But Lionel will run on DC also. I plan on making a STD ga Packard train set. Might be a Hudson type engine. I have some IVES. O and STD.

I learned from a vintage train shop keeper in Dallas years ago that these vintage electric trains are slowly going away. It seems the materials used back in the day react and parts eventually get eaten up. I believe the wheels are especially affected.
Also - in the first photo - is that train set a Lionel? I was under the impression the American Flyer used two rails and Lionel used three. The track pictured has three rails. Or is it an AF on L rails?
