You're killing me, Mike. 😁I think I'd rather go to your house than a train store or show! The GP Customs brought back memories. Had the blue one about 20-some years ago when my son was a toddler. Had a lot of fun with him and the hobby back then, and that's what started it for me. At the time, I didn't know there was another color or consist set. Always enjoy your videos- thanks for sharing.
I just started out in the hobby and doing N scale but I'm still thinking about O a lot... so much cool stuff in O. Maybe when the wife warms up to the idea some more and I get situated with it she'll let me expand a bit. I love your channel so far. Sorry to hear about all the trouble with Lionel. My Mom lives in NC and we are planning on going to the HQ store soon... Anyway, I like your theme tracks and that's what I want to do too. Starting with a christmas track using broadway limited mikado and some holdiay cars.. making a mountian and evn found some n scale yetis . Gonna be cool. See you around! Loved the back to the future! I'm going to try to do that sometime!
Hi! Thanks for checking out the channel, I love N scale and still have a decent size line up of locomotives, rolling stock, and passenger cars. Themed layouts are my favorite for O. I like watching O run because the size. For modeling purposes and space I do prefer N and HO. Don’t get rid of your N, I sold off a lot at first to by O and after understanding I liked N scale layouts better I started buying back a lot of what I had sold and will be beginning a new N scale layout since I sold part of mine and tore down the other part when I got into O in 2017 after having been in N for years.
Good morning Mike hope I didn't wake you this morning great video. You have quite a selection of o scale trains there York is gonna be fun for you for sure You are a swell guy mIke Looking forward to more videos by the way what happened to your standard gauge trains you used to run ;-) GOD BLESS
Good morning Carl, no sir, you don’t wake me. I still have all my standard gauge trains and have my eye on a few more right now. I want them to have their own layout, I’ve purchased more track and switches, you’ve probably seen the boxes of switches during some of the videos in my garage and didn’t realize it. Thank you for checking out my video, Christian and I are really looking forward to York!
@railchief7456 Weaver locomotives, 3rd Rail stuff, MTH Z6 Challenger Specialty Set, MTH BigBoy cab 4010 Specialty set, maybe some S scale since I started in that, I’m pretty good other wise. Are you going and looking for anything in particular?
I have, I haven’t purchased any yet though. I’m torn on how I want to power and control my G scale layout and locomotives and am still in the research phase so I have 8 locomotives right now between MTH, Aristocraft, Lionel, and Bachmann. Deciding on power through the track or converting to battery operated and remote control. What kind of set up do you run if you have G?
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies The only G I have right now is one of those cheap Ez-tec RC G scale sets. I used to have one of the New bright Electric sets. I have never had LGB but I'd like to one day. I'd also like to try the Piko stuff, I might get one of the German steam starter sets some day.
Material Handling, Baggage, Mail, they had several uses for their different style box cars they have had over the years, Express Trak, like that car was an independent operator and from what I’ve seen had refers that carried produce like lemons and stuff and some mail cars.
Outside of a Ready to run MTH set for my sons first Christmas in 1999, everything was purchased after 4/6/2017 up to now when I changed over from N scale to mostly O scale.
Awesome Arthur! I really like your channel, I’ve been a subscriber for sometime now. I like how you made the crossover for the slot cars and o scale track. It’s awesome to officially meet you. 🙂. Christian and I are big time slot car fans!

Hi Mike My wife and I just met at the hotel tonight! It was great to meet you!
Hi Chris! It was awesome meeting and talking with you both as well! Thank you so much! See you at York tomorrow! 👍🚂🙂
Love The MoPac Caboose! MoPac Jack 🚂

I love the diesel, tank car and cabooses shown at the start here.
Thank you

Wish I would have seen this awhile ago. Would be interested in Katy cars
Thank you Zachary, those sold fast, pretty desirable I guess. 👍
It’s almost that big time of the year again
Yes it is!
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies you looking for anything particular this year?

@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies just a few things here and there from both MTH and Lionel. Maybe something menards related too if we’re lucky
Sounds like a plan! 👍
Have you looked at Piko G-scale?
I have, I haven’t purchased any yet though.

Got ya, well, if I get a Piko before you do, I’ll let you know how I like it. 👍
The katy caboose. Is that a rbp caboose??
Nope, that is the original one, from when they made the first Legacy MKT UP Heritage unit.
Hi Mike, still got the Conrail heritage unit?
Hi Lance! No Sir, thanks for asking though. I appreciate it.
How much for the UP water tankers?
I’m not selling the UP ones, thanks for asking though.
Thank you for your reply.
@user-rj5pd9hk9l you’re welcome
Ongoing Lionel purge.
Yes Sir
There's trains I have bought that I will never sell. 😀
I agree, and have a couple of those myself. 🙂
Any Amtrak mail cars or Lionel 30k tank cars?
No Amtrak mail cars, I’ll have to see if I have any tank cars I’m going to sell.
What did Amtrak use the high cube box cars for? I see you have one for sale.
Material Handling, Baggage, Mail, they had several uses for their different style box cars they have had over the years, Express Trak, like that car was an independent operator and from what I’ve seen had refers that carried produce like lemons and stuff and some mail cars.
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies did they pair them with Amtrak engines or usually with other carriers?
@THEHWCOLLECTOR I’ve only seen them with other Amtrak rolling stock and locomotives.
Hello Mike, I'm interested in the Neil TS 2car. How do we communicate? Dave
Hi Dave, do you have Facebook by chance?
Mike sorry I do not. Dave
I will be at York. Dave
Ok Dave, I will bring it with me. I’ll be in York Tues thru Friday, and at the show Thursday and Friday hunting for some stuff and meeting people.
Do you have a eBay store?
I don’t, I don’t normally sell stuff, just scaling back some of my collection now. I usually only buy stuff to add to my collection.
What is Mike's last name so I can get his info in TCA file. Thank you Dave
Lovasco
What city please
You found me in Gmail! Nice detective work! 👍. Lol. Thank you for connecting.
I’ll take the Katy tank car $75.
Sounds good, are you going to York?
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies no
Ok, are you on Facebook?
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies yes - Terry Bigler
Found you in FB Messenger 👍
Quite a selection / collection.....how long did it take to amass?
Outside of a Ready to run MTH set for my sons first Christmas in 1999, everything was purchased after 4/6/2017 up to now when I changed over from N scale to mostly O scale.
I would like to purchase the Amtrak Lionel Box Car. How do I contact you?
Thank you, do you have Facebook?
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbiesnot anymore
That’s how most everyone has been contacting me. Let me see if we can figure something else out.
