Taking things a little too far I suppose.

Thanks! Will do. so far, so good with both. I put the one Big Boy away until Christmas time. This is the only time I get to set up and run my Lionel trains.Congratulations on adding a four-legged Big Boy to your others. I wish you an easy road ahead in your retirement and please give Lionel a scratch behind his ears from me. He looks like a great boy.

Well, I suppose it will be nice. Now I get to do some deferred maintenance on my garden railroad and perhaps work on my H.O. layout which has been setting idle for a couple of years now.Welcome to retirement and to a wonderful hobby.

Congrats! Both of your new acquisitions will keep you from getting bored with all the « free time » on your hands.

I've replied previously, but another comment, I believe from Sylvias, brought your post back up for me. I just finished watching an episode of Antiques Roadshow that had one of the segments featuring a fellow who had a Lionel locomotive from the 1930's that was valued at $2,500. That reminded me of the MasterCard commercials that would feature the cost of something such as an airplane ticket home, say $1,200 but would end with a tagline such as "getting to spend Christmas with the family--'priceless' " Or having a collection of vintage Lionel track, cars, locomotives and accessories, who knows how much, but having a German Shepherd pup, named Lionel to play with and love--'priceless'. I hope he is doing well.

Lionel has periodic sales at their warehouse (Charlotte, NC.) It is always elbow-to-elbow people, but a good way to get their products at a reasonable price.
