Figured Id post some of mine. These are Lionel O Gauge. Ive been collecting trains since I was about 3. HO mostly until I was about 8,Then moved onto O gauge. Ive been meaning to set up a layout but space is a problem, I would need a whole room to really make anything "acceptable" with these size of trains. Sorry for the crappy pics but indoor lighting isn't great. Ive got roughly 15-20 engines and 40-50 rolling stock. May not sound like a lot but if your on a budget like me, Spending $50 bucks a train car isn't fun , I wont even comment on the Engines Tongue. I guess thats what 8 years of collecting and Christmases are for Roll Eyes

I'd love to model O scale, but my 15X30 foot space keeps me in HO (I pondered N )...

If winters weren't  so harsh, I'd have an outdoor, G scale railroad.. Roll Eyes

I fond O to be a good size. Big enough to not loose parts, and small enough of indoor use Wink

My father has an 8x8x8 (yes, 8x8x8) HO layout..

It stores (folded in half) vertically into itself..

Very poor rendition of the Layout housing:

Heh interesting, how visible are those cracks in the scenery?

Nice stuff you got there, shame it isnt driving on its own railroad.
