The move.

I haven't been on the blog because I have been busy and didn't have much to talk about. I haven't gotten any more trains or accessories for my train table. But today is about something big that has happened. We moved to a new house and it took a long time to get all of the trains and the table packed up. It took me about 3 weeks to get the rocks, buildings, cars, trees, snow and track. Then my dad and I had to take down the table and that only took about 2 days. Then after everything was in packages we took trips to the house ( which was nearby) and took it to my new train room. Then everything else we put on the moving truck. Then I had to unpack it. Then everything was in the new room and the new room is much smaller by one time or two. We were going to work on the table today but we couldn't find the drill so we didn't. I may do some more train interviews because I'm behind on that. It is great to talk again!

Pennsylvania Broadway Limited Passenger Car




Of course there are a lot of Pennsylvania passenger cars on the market but out of any Pennsylvania passenger car I have seen the best is the Pennsylvania broadway limited. Most of my trains are Lionel but this one is made by Williams Electrice Trains. Now I don't know that much about Williams Electrice Trains so if I say some things that are wrong about this company feel free to correct me (: . First I will tell you about the car. The body is plastic but the trucks are die- cast metal. There are lights in the car and the car lights up when you have track power. The top of the car is black and the middle is brown like a Pennsylvania car would be. The Pennsylvania sign is gold and so is the broadway limited sign.There are two small thin lines that are gold as well.In the window there are people so when it lights up you see people inside.You can see the nails and screws on the car. The doors on the car do not open.The car does not come with a set as far as I know. I think this is the best replica of a real Pennsylvania passenger car. It is one of the most detailed train cars I have ever seen even though it is not made by Lionel. That about wraps it up for this review. I am William and I will see you next time. (:

My Train Table Scenery

One of my favorite things to do is work on the layout of my train table.  I love working on the landscape and making my train town look as realistic as possible.  Here are a few pictures:







My favorite building is the Harvest Valley Tractor Repair Shop:





I also love my Lionel Train Station:




Here are a few other buildings that I really like:





 
 
 
 

Here I am running one of my trains (Go Clemson!):







My 5 O-Scale Engines

My favorite engine is my Blue Bird Wabash.  I got this for Christmas one year.






I also have a CSX engine.  I got it as a Christmas present in 2006.






I have a DT&I engine that was my mom's when she was a little girl.  It's really old!






I also have a New York Central Engine.  My Poppy gave me this for Christmas when I was two years old.  It started my love of trains!

 
 
 
 
 

Lastly, I have a Sante Fe non-powered engine.

Welcome!

Hi! My name is William. I am nine years old. My grandfather gave me my first Lionel Train when I was two years old. I've been collecting them ever since! I created this blog to share my model train collection with you. I hope you enjoy it!
