Default anyone else into Lionel trains?

i just bought my first lionel set, the north pole central. i just wanted something to run around the tree. now that i have been going through the lionel catalog, i really can't wait to build this up with more track pieces, different engines, scenery, etc. i bought a book about making fastrack layouts, which is great! i'll post some pics after i set it up around the tree, december 15th or 16th.

any lionel advice is welcomed!

Not into Lionel's but I do have loads of HO stuff. Need a lot less space. In fact, I am building a setup in the extra room at work.

Greg,

I have a bunch of the " OG " lionel trains from the 40's and 50's. They were my dad's toys when he was a kid. The quality is amazing. I will have to get some pics for you.

the polar express and freight trains are the focus of my grand kids now

they are pretty young and like to push them instead of run the electrics

but it's really fun just the same

they know all the parts of the trains and the names of the cars

my truck got named camouse after the last car because i drive slow
