Modelers Corner

My restored Lionel 262E + 1689W "Carpet Central" in its full glory... :biggrin: ;)

@Lucius Mojo : what kind of masking tape do you use for repainting your cool "Lionel 2065-like" locomotive shell ? :idea:

Just Blue 3M masking tape!

Ah OK... I'll see if that kind of product is available here in France. I also wished to have your model painting skills... :confused:

Looks and runs great I bet!

Thanks @Lucius Mojo ! :)

Two short videos - yes, my Lionel 262E happened to be the eldest of all engines (circa 1934) :



But undisputably the Queen of the Model Train Show proved to be my ACE Trains "Blink Bonny" - 1st coming, at right, followed by a little JEP train and a JEP railcar :

And the heaviest machine (10kg) was the JEP CC7001 of my firend Yves - the 3rd to appear at left :

Trains are running well!

Thanks @Lucius Mojo !

Below a general view video of the O Gauge layout at this little local show (we had N, HO, and Gauge 1 also). I presented US and UK models, while other members presented mostly French models.


First, running from L to R : a JEP 2-4-0 steamer plus 3 Hornby and JEP cars.
Second, running from R to L : my IVES ny Williams #1694 and her 3 lighted cars.
Third, running alos from R to L : a HORNBY electric BB engine and her 4 cars.
