I love real trains, model trains and pinball! I've been following Big Boy on and off. It's awesome!

I don't have a super nice layout. It's just a bunch of stuff I purchased over the years attached to plywood. LOL. However; everyone who comes over to play pinball asks me to run the trains while we play.

Here's a picture of my amusement park with my pinball machines in the background.

My Pinside handle it's actually a reference to model railroading. My buddies called me a loop runner because I didn't have enough switches on my layout.

Quoted from Atari_Daze:

Not unlike many folks and their barn find pins ?

Too much American Pickers making everyone think the whole world pays for patina!

At one point model trains did bring a premium price. As the conventional train generation started to pass the demand went way down.

I'm into trains. I have a small 3ft X 6ft N scale layout that models the mid to late 90's[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Your scenery looks fantastic! I have an O-Scale layout but I have not done a lot with the scenery. I wanted a large layout but needed to set it up so it could be torn down quickly.

I went a little bit crazy at first and recently removed a larger section of the layout. LOL. It took up too much room. I moved my amusement park from that section to the main section of a layout. My former amusement park had walkways and trees. My winter project is to add them to the new park.

Here is a link to my amuseme park:

Woooooooooooow!!! Amazing layout!! I love how alive everything is. I wish that I had more room to do something like that. I was going to go HO at first, but it was either that and risk losing room for more pins, or go N scale and have room for more pins. Of course I made the obvious choice Lol

At one point I ended up taking down some of my layout for my pinball machines! The cars look fantastic.
