Model Train Collection

Manfred sent in this photo of his layout to share:

model train collection

I have a Marklin layout 4 feet by 8 feet. Most of it dates back to the 1950’s ,but I have engines from the 1930’s . They run on AC on a three rail system as I grew up with it.  I also have a large Lionel O collection – old and new. My oldest train is a Bowman live steam from 1902. It runs perfectly on a straight track. This winter was a perfect winter to operate the trains and I find it a fun hobby.

    Beautiful collection. The 3 rail system brings back fond memories of my childhood collection and layout covering 2/3 of my parents cellar. We had over 200 cars, 33 engines and 1200 pieces of track. Sure wish I still had it.
    Enjoy it as long as you can.
