• Track key details like road name/number, scale, era, notes, and more
• Organize your collection so it’s easy to browse, search, and reference anytime

💻 macOS app is coming soon.

#Lionel did in fact, historically make a train set that was a series of cardstock cutouts that could be folded into a train.

It was called the "Lionel Wartime Freight Train". It was made during World War II, and they made it because they couldn't make metal toys as the metal was being used for the war. (noo) #ModelTrain

Why does it sound like a bomb? Is it going to blow up? Is this the end of #SamsTrains? I'd laugh if it did. Well, I wouldn't laugh. I'd obviously pass away, then I would laugh. (s t) #Modeltrain #Lionel #PolarExpress

This might be the last post of dinosaurs and model trains from the Botanical Garden. All the dinosaurs were made out of plant managerial. There will be many flower photos from this excursion. Washington, District of Columbia, United States 2026

This week I made rocks for my HO #modeltrain for the first time, and am so excited about how they turned out! Looks ugly as hell when you first start, then the paint magically transforms the whole scene. After a base coat of gray, I did a wash with black to bring out the details. White highlights and some burnt umber for 'moss' really finished it off. I will come back later to add ground cover to finish off the area, but am still working on the electronics for now.

Beginning to add rocks on a model train.  Some track is visible with a small locomotive on the left side, and two printed pages of mountain scenery are taped to the wall for reference.  In the center, several white plaster rock forms have been glued to the ground between two railroad tracks, creating a wall between them.The plaster rocks have been fully painted with a base gray color.  A black wash adds depth to show the crevices in the rocks and bring out the details.  White highlights are dry-brushed over the top of the rocks to define the raised surfaces.  A bit of burnt umber paint is lightly added to a few areas to represent moss growing on the rocks.

Base paint has been applied to the second half of my #modeltrain shelf layout. Yesterday I finished the wiring and filling in missing ties, and in a couple days I'll start hand-painting the sides of the rails and wiring up IR sensors in the track. Still a lot of work to do before the track gets powered up again.

Note the color of the 1st pic is accurate, the 2nd pic is dull because the sun is going down.

The entire piece has been given a dark brown base coat except for one siding near the viewer where the glue is still drying.An HO scale model train shelf layout with multiple tracks and turnouts.  As the sun sets the brown base paint starts to look more gray, however the entire scene has now been painted.  The track consists of a mainline down the center which curves off to the right in the distance, a pair of sidings on the left side leading towards and away from the viewer, and three yard tracks on the right side coming towards the viewer.
