I have lots of Lionel Trains, all boxed and stored, since I don’t have much space to display them. In the stuff stored, there are similar freight cars and locomotives to what is shown on this page. Most of what I have was made by Lionel back in the Late 20′s and early 30′s. I still have both 2-rail and 3-rail track for all of it.
The structures, which came with those trains, have largely gone by the way side, and what is left, has largely gotten so dilapidated, that I would not use them on a layout.
I also have S scale, HO scale, and TT scale, and N scale; in cars, loco, track, power systems; with every thing still in storage.
Most of what I have in storage came from buying estates, and then auctioning off what I didn’t want, and storing what I did want.
Some I bought, and some I got as a kid for Xmas. And some I found at Flea Markets, Train Shows, or found at Garage or Yard sales.
And I still go looking for trains, track, and structures every weekend; plus I go to hobby shows and train swap meets.
Some one, one day, will get every thing I got. Not sure who, but who gets it will have the time of their life.
I even have some bench work in storage, with sections already built up and scenery, track, buildings added, and every thing wired.
