    Who still likes trains?

    This has been gathered up from garage sales and flea markets for the last several years.My wife painted the backdrop for me so the wall becomes part of the display. See if you can find the monster truck ralley, the General Lee in flight, and Scooby Doo and the gang. This is our train town.Enjoy!

      Thanks Mike, I always wanted a train set growing up, but it never happened. Its been a couple years putting this together as we found the pcs. The tough thing is to keep the cats from playing Godzilla with it.

        I always loved "garden trains"

        They're really popular in the UK --- but you have to have some bucks to make them

              As a kid I wanted a model train set...but I always wanted something more, so it never happened. As an adult I love to look at them, but I doubt I'll ever have the space for one.

              Very cool set up you have there! Looks like it was fun to put it together!

                    I'm not really into trains, but that's a very impressive setup.

                      I like real trains. It's always been our wish to take a train trip across the US.

                        Thats a great set up B,I used to have a little Hornby train set when I was younger,all set out on a big piece of hardboard,station,little people,trees and all

                        Where I live,we have steam trains operating every weekend by local train enthusiasts,bloody steam whistles wake me up sometimes,when they bring them out early in the morning. but it's really cool seeing the steam billowing up above the trees,to the rear of my garden.

                          I love the Barnstormer game. That is one of the few things remaining on my wish list.

                            Thanks Wayne, I think if I had those steam trains that close by , like you have, I would be there almost every weekend to watch them. Bummer that they wake you up early though.

                              Great eye you have there, you'll never believe it only cost me 5 bucks complete in the box.Still works great too. Thought it fit right in there at the airport.
