The nice train setup you have must keep you busy cleaning the tracks.

Wow, wow, wow. 🤠

A great engine line up you have. So many choices.

I would love to see your Lionel layout. I started out with Lionel Trains. Mostly tin plate pre-war.

I built three big layouts. After the third, everything was in boxes for a long time. Sold most of it to fund my toy steam engine obsession.

I still have enough to put together a decent layout....if I ever get grandkids.

Always enjoy your videos and really hope I can make it to one of those steam-ups one day... Love that last picture 😍

Good head of steam you have up in Bluto there, judging from the plume issuing forth from the safety valve.

Nice couple of engines ..... I'll look forward to spring when you can get videos of the 0-4-2 up for us to enjoy. At 7 1/2" gauge I rather suspect that one weighs in at a bit more that Bluto's 25 pounds!

And as for the last photo .... Oh WOW, I'll be right over to help you play with some of those wonderful trains!!!

Two more live steam locos to add to the turntable:
[attachimg=1]

This is a 3/4" scale TICH,  3-1/2" gauge.  It is a good steamer, it weights 25 lbs., but can pull me and a riding car, about 250 lbs. with no problem.  I some times have to press on the boiler with the shovel so it can get enough traction to get moving.
A video is here.  https://youtu.be/iofzdLvllhY

The next loco is an 1-1/2" scale 0-4-2 British tank engine, 7-1/2" gauge.  It was built to Ken Swan's Bridget design which was published in Model Engineer in the early 1970's.  It runs well, but needed a draft improvement in the smoke box.  I have done the mods, and will test this coming summer. (no video available yet)

Here's one more photo, just for fun - locos on the storage track patiently waiting for summer.
