The set was supposed to be for my 5-year old son, yet I think I appreciated it more than he does. High quality craftmanship and heavy gauge wiring. The E-Z Track System was very easy to assemble. Powerful transformer should you decide to add more trains later on.

Originally carrying passengers through the Blue Ridge mountains from Johnson City, Tennessee to Boone, North Carolina was the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad (ET&WNC). Operating today and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, you?ll understand this train?s nickname when you hear the Tweetsie?s whistle echoing across the valleys of the Blue Ridge. NOTE: This set is NOT recommended for outdoor use.

Lionel 6-18733 Thomas & Friends Percy Steam Loco Review

Lionel 6-18733 Thomas and Friends Percy Steam Loco
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Lionel engine is well made and provides hours of entertainment. I would give a couple of cautions to parents: 1) wait until your child is 8 years old as Lionel recommends. Setting up an electric train set can be very frustrating to younger children. 2) Look at the HO scale first. If your kids played with the wooden or take-a-long Thomas they are use to playing with small toys. The HO scale Thomas train sets are a lot cheaper (an entire HO train set cost half as an O scale engine). If they tire of electric trains quickly, you're not out a lot of money.

Lionel Thunder Valley Quarry Mine O-Gauge Train Set Review

Lionel Thunder Valley Quarry Mine O-Gauge Train Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought just the dockside locomotive (available as Lionel 6-30124-e), not the whole Thunder Valley set. This is one cool little steam locomotive, and it works exceptionally well! The fact that it doesn't have a separate coal tender makes very nimble, and with front and rear operating couplers, it can pull or push in either direction. It's a great looking little steam engine that has lots of great details...brass bell, brass whistle, lighted cabin with engineer & fireman figures, operating smoke stack, operating horn, forward/neutral/reverse, front and rear directional lights, and metal hand rail. It's loaded for such an inexpensive engine. It's also solidly built with die cast metal body, and is powerful enough to pull the loads of a full size locomotive. This is a very capable, very neat little dockside steamer that has a great sounding horn, and is a lot of fun. It's a great way to get started or expand an existing setup with. Highly recommended!

6-30124Hidden dangers lurk at every turn on the Thunder Valley Railroad as a work train snakes its way to the heart of quarry mine operations. Explosives and work equipment must be shipped in by train, and falling rocks, quarry blasts, and pit-falls are never far away. Make way for the rugged Thunder Valley 0-6-0 dockside as it pulls its work load to the quarries. A jet-black gondola is packed with mined rocks, and a special boxcar carries dangerous explosives to the site. Stop the train to unload the Thunder Valley steam shovel off the flatcar deck, and survey the evening terrain with the mighty searchlight on the work caboose. This ready-to-run train set comes complete with FasTrack and 80-watt transformer, and also includes anexplosive'' quarry mine diorama. Features: -Includes 0-6-0 dockside switcher, explosive cargo boxcar with opening doors, gondola with removable rock load, flatcar with removable steam shovel, searchlight work caboose with interior illumination, three straight FasTrack track sections, eight curved FasTrack track sections, a FasTrack terminal section, CW-80 Transformer, quarry mine diorama. -Transformer controlled forward, neutral, and reverse operation. -Die-cast metal locomotive has electronic steam whistle and puffing smoke unit. -Directional lighting with operating headlight and back-up light; interior illumination in cab. -Dual operating couplers on locomotive, operating couples on all rolling stock. -Die-cast metal truck on illuminated searchlight caboose; die-cast metal sprung trucks on all other rolling stock. -Train length is 48.5''. -Track layout is 40'' x 60''.

Lionel American Flyer #793 Union Station Review

Lionel American Flyer #793 Union Station
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This station is a perfect size for any O, or S gauge train layout, and is one of the few examples modeled of an "art modern" style, city train station that were built all over the country in the years just prior to, and just after World War 2. Most passenger stations offered by model train companies focus on much older designs.

This big-city station, with its impressive front entrance and tower, is all ready to handle the rush of commuter and out-of-town traffic on your railroad system. Because the tower unit is movable, the station can be set up in a variety of ways. Use as shown, or have the entrance at the station end. It is a perfect companion piece to #792 Railroad Terminal.

O-27 James Review

O-27 James
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought this to add to an existing Lionel set. It has enough power to pull at least five or six cars. It goes forward and in reverse and the whistle sounds. The engine is stable and it is hard to derail it. We ran it at full speed on a O-36 Fastrack loop and it stayed on the track. The details look nice. The eyes go back and forth and you can change the faces, but we never do so. For the money it is a nice engine.

New York City Transit Authority R27 Subway 2-Pack Review

New York City Transit Authority R27 Subway 2-Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have received several E Mails in the past asking me about this set and many people wanted to know that if they bought 2 of these 2 car sets and joined them together would they make up one R-27 4 car set? The answer to this is NO! Of course the most obvious reason is that this set is non-powered meaning that there is no motorized unit in the set to pull the train, but there are even more reasons as to why this set is NOT ABLE to function as an independent train.
This 2 car set was specifically designed to work with the original Lionel 4 car R-27 subway set, Catalog No. 6-3175. The 4 car set has an embedded digital electronic control system that can set up the doors to open on the platform side when the train enters a station, control PA system announcements for each station on the line as well as the interior lighting. The 2 car add on set cited in this review plugs into the 4 car set between cars 3 and 4 to make up a 6 car train so that all digitally controlled operating functions work in unison across the entire set once they mated through special electrical connectors at the ends of the cars.
Unless the 2 car add on set is added to the 4 car set it can only be used as a dead static model suitable for display on the shelf or the cars can be towed around the layout by another locomotive or powered unit if you want to see them moving around. Nevertheless the units in this 2 car set are just as exquisitely detailed both inside and out as the cars in the 4 car set. They are beautiful to look at and a delight to behold because of all the detail they contain. I rode these subways when I was a child and Lionel has captured my memory of these cars perfectly in 3D. They are still a worthwhile buy.

90049 Bach Bros 4-6-0 Big Top Circus Set G Review

90049 Bach Bros 4-6-0 Big Top Circus Set G
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is at least the third circus train Bachmann has offered. This set is smaller (and costs less), but it's a great starter set if you don't mind picking up additional pieces here and there, or if 90% of your display is a circus, and you just want a train to run around it.
By the way, "small" is relative when you're discussing garden trains. The locomotive and tender (coal car) are about 30" long all by themselves.
The train is pulled by the same upgraded 4-6-0 locomotive that pulls most of Bachmann's starter sets, so you will be pleased with the quality or durability of this set.

Lionel Barrel Shed Review

Lionel Barrel Shed
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am begining to very slowly amass some buildings for my ever-ongoing project O Scale layout. While a little assembly is required, it is highly simplistic snap-together material. It's a shame it's hard to find more O Scale buildings/locomotives on Amazon, but what I have found is interesting and leaves me hope that the company will put up more. Small, quaint and worth the money. As with most all O Scale, things are more expensive than HO or N. That's just the nature of the beast.

O-36 90 Degree Curved Tunnel Review

O-36 90 Degree Curved Tunnel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use this tunnel with my Lionel FasTrack on an 0-36 curve. It looks great in my setup. It is neat to see the locomotive disappear and reappear on the other side. Be aware that this item is large! It spans two curve pieces and measures 24" x 24" or about 32" diagonally. It is also quite heavy, weighing over 20 pounds. It is very sturdy and should last a long time. It is far superior in looks and durability to cheaper tunnels made from a very thin piece of plastic.

Lionel Arch-Under Bridge Review

Lionel Arch-Under Bridge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a fairly large size O-scale bridge for a low price, but the visual quality is poor. There are only three cross supports, at the ends and one in the middle, so as designed the bridge looks silly / unrealistic / structurally wrong. Also, although there are simulated rivet heads, where multiple steel framing members meet, they are "magically" smooshed together into a single physical layer. The bridge is best used in the background, as it will not bear close visual inspection.
I am planning to use Evergreen and Plastruct styrene shapes to create a somewhat more realistic bridge, although you could easily spend more time on it than this is worth. There are much better bridges by Atlas on the market, but they are also much more expensive and none are available in this particular configuration.

O-27 The Scout Freight Set Review

O-27 The Scout Freight Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own 8 Lionel trains dating from 1946 to present -- this "Scout" is one of the weaker links in an otherwise great line of trains. I bought it for my grandson as his first O gauge -- it may be his last Lionel.
I'm not sure who is in charge at Lionel (try and find out who really owns them or where they are located), but they need to improve their engineering and quality control. The 3 of the 4 most recent purchases have not been up to the quality of Williams or MTH. From now on I'll buy other brands of O gauge engines or sets first.
Oh, by the way, Lionel never finished the sequel to their DVD film, "Lionelville Destination: Adventure" -- it leaves you hangin' with no resolution to the story (apologies to my grandkids).
