I have a small amount of o27 and HO trains. Im about to make a legit 6x10' set up and seeing if anyone on here has any layouts. All my current HO is DC, im dumping that and going DCC with code 83 track. Im still looking for ideas on scenery and which diesel engines I want to buy.

We've had a small Christmas tradition of going to our local hobby shop every year and picking up a few pieces. This is the first year it didn't even come up, my daughter is almost 17 and we have been busy working so I completely forgot.

I think we have 4 complete Lionel sets and probably 20-30 additional pieces and a ton of track. My problem is sitting on the floor for hours putting things together and then trying to get back up.

I was told there is either a big museum or retailer down there. Do you know what it was called?

My daughter has it and the Polar Express. She really likes Disney cars especially if they are animated. I'd be interested in the place in Cincy also, I sold a V7 to a guy down there and may make it into a couple day trip if the place is worth it. Our little hobby shop swapped owners and they aren't carrying a lot of new cars.

Oh, I went there a few weeks ago but didnt bother to go through the display just the store. They dont carry as many engines or cars as I would have thought. Just a lot of big G gauge and some HO.

There's a model train store in downtown mason Ben, one of my bosses goes all the time he has a huge lay out in his basement, he's building a track all around his basement.

Used to be an N-Trak member, never built a module but did assist with setup and teardown.

Love the stuff but no place to set anything up. Have Marx three rail from 1969, and an N-gauge partial. Love the trip I took to that tain place in West Chester called Entertrainment.

Ben, you have been to Smitty's over on Wilmington Pike? They had always been a supplier and supporter of model trains for years. Probably could advise you even on larger suppliers.

yea, they have a great selection of HO scale which is what I need. I had no clue they were there until a few weeks ago. :bigthumb
