Running some postwar trains! 3 sets to include 1415WS (1946), 2183WS (1952), and 2190W (1953).

Always nice watching your trains run around your layout! I especially like how you keep the ones not running on the sidings for viewing, too. Thank you for sharing!

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

Thanks!

[@genemanno1533]

You have some of the nicest vintage Lionel train sets. Everything I’ve see in your videos is so nice. You never disappoint. 😊😊😊 thanks for sharing

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

Thank you! I enjoy the hobby and try to share what I know and have learned with others. Glad you enjoy the videos.

[@johnfroio4910]

You have a great layout and sets, Al. A real Lionel Showroom!

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

Many thanks!

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

I love that Berkshire set!

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

I was very pleased to find the 726RR and the rest of the set in such clean condition.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

simply the best al. thanks for doing it right...

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

Thanks! I enjoy these old trains and glad that I can share them with others that enjoy them as much as I do.

@@alsvintagetoytrains7042 doing a great job. My dad is 76 and this weekend we were working on a recent acquisition; a superbly boxed 671/2671W combo with superbly boxed green/gray 2400s. Just needed a new smoke element. I don't do liquid in PW engines unless they came with it so dropped in a fresh pellet and we're all good. Looks like yours, no nickel rims.

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

Sounds like a great 2140WS set from 1948 or 49! One of my favorites and am sure you and your dad will be enjoying that one. @@goldenmanuever1176

Your sets are beautiful Al! They look fantastic. It’s great to see a true Postwar fan like me.

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

I do like my postwar Lionel! And prewar.... Nothing like conventional control from the ZW handles and the smell of smoke pills and ozone. I'm glad you enjoy the trains and videos. Thanks!

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

All 3 sets look beautiful Al! Very impressive condition. 😊

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

Thanks!

[@paulbervid1610]

Very nice

[@kevinernst2897]

Great layout and trains. All of your stuff looks to be in like new condition. I have a 726 in the shop for five months now. Hope to have it back by xmas. Christmas

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Five months seems to be a long time... The Berkshires are great engines! You should enjoy that when you get it back.

Postwar Rules! Great video!

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Amazing 😊

[@oneterpsfan]

Hi Al, do you think you could/would be willing to record & upload a video of your layout and how you have everything setup/wired up? I am in the process of building a nice post-war layout and i could definatley learn a thing or two from you and your wonderful setup!

[@alsvintagetoytrains7042]

I will entertain doing a video of this layout in the next couple weeks. It was built in 1999 when I was new to the hobby, so I could try and talk about some things to improve as well. Give me a couple weeks (due to my work schedule) and I will get that out. I actually have two layouts, so I can do two video segments describing each.

[@oneterpsfan]

@@alsvintagetoytrains7042 Sounds like a good deal to me. Thank you for working that into your schedule, i look forward to the videos!

[@therosejewelrailroad489]

I like it! We’re thinking a lot like today. I’m going to post a similar train in a few minutes.
