mojomc Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 We love to pass time playing with model trains and 1/32 slot cars in our household. We're not collectors. We just enjoy playing with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very fascinating and very life-like. They are packed away somewhere in his garage/shop/attic. Big hobby of his until his forties. It became too much for him to have two primary hobbies so he has focused his last 45+ years to his civil war and post civil war antique gun(Colt, Winchester, Remington, etc.) collection. I am still amazed that this man will travel the country with his collection in his trunk to go to all his favorite shows. Enough about my dad, good luck with the sale.

richieb Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 You know what any qualified psychiatrist will say of the depiction of a train entering a tunnel? Well here's the guy as described from the textbook Psych 101, chapter 1, paragraph 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill My brother has a few Lionel standard gauge cars, engine and track. They didn't start making HO scale until the mid '50s. I always hated the tbree rail tracks. Our paternal grandfather worked on the Illinois Central RR, and both the pieces for my brother. Engine weighed a ton! Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's up with that? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
