Is anyone into model trains? Do you know someone who is? I'm talking about Lionel 'O' gauge trains from the 50's. Send me a PM if you can. Thanks

I had a 50 year plus collection of American Flyer "S" gauge. Got my first set Christmas of 1950 and collected till 2009. Downsized and they went bye-bye.Miss them everyday. CorvairEd Dade City,Fl

I think there are several model train groups on face book. I know there is a Marx group and I think there is a Lionel one too.

I haven't ventured into Facebook yet. What I want to do is sell the entire collection to someone who collects trains OR is a dealer that wheels and deals selling trains at shows or online.

Ruland train collection in Heber Springs Arkansas is mostly Lionel. We went there on a VCCA Tour about 8 years ago. Spent hours looking and listening about the collection. Fantastic! time for the guys and gals as well.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
