This year we had a family Christmas with the Van Bossuyts and the Lees gathering together. I decided to bring the trains out of their storage boxes and setup all six gauges of trains plus a gondola. This is the pseudo-G Gauge train that my grandfather gave me many years ago.
This is a wind-up train that would fall somewhere between N and HO Gauges.
This push train is a bit smaller than N Gauge.
The N Gauge train next to the push train.
The HO Gauge train coming out from behind the Christmas tree.
The O27 Gauge Lionel engine. I need to find a replacement tender for this engine because the original was lost some years back when it went out for service and never came back to us.

All of the trains together.
The trains all run around or near the Christmas Tree. In years past I was able to get all of the trains to actually circle the tree but not this year.
The Swiss-made gondola.
It is a pretty fun toy.
Here is a video of all of the trains running.
Now this is awesome. Not your average train engineer? LOL. I used to have an HO scale that ran on the floor through my entire apartment. Including behind the toilet, under the bed and behind the sofa. Very cool.
That must have been quite the layout! I’m hoping to setup some trains in my home once I have everything unpacked and have found room to do so. Maybe I’ll bring some N Gauge in. At my work I think that I might put a little TT scale train on my desk.
Love the gondola.
You should be able to find a tender on e-bay for a reasonable price.
I’ve looked since last December at eBay for a tender but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. It’s too bad we lost the matched one many years ago.
