The Caboose Hop. Wow. So neat.

The O gauge gate man shanty works perfect for standard gauge.

Murray had a great band that year.

You're welcome!

Hey plunkerville , Wednesday is the meatloaf special at Dollys Diner, wife had pot roast, could not turn down pot roast for meatloaf.

Are you looking for command control with sounds, ect? MTH will be producing tinplate again within the next 12 months. There are two different gauges. Any O-Gauge tinplate will run on Lionel Fasttrak. Standard Gauge requires a wider track. At this time buying tinplate means searching for it. Side Track Hobbies, Patricks Trains, Perry's Toy Exchange and Trainz are some of the best bets. Of course Ebay will always have some. To get an idea of what is out there you could go to MTHtrains.com and look at some of the older tinplate catalogs to get an idea of what is out there. If you want to buy new right now ETSTrains out of the Czech Republic. They will not have command control but you can order them with sound. www.ets.cz/en/ There are a few dealers in the US that carry a few of there trains. If you are close to York, PA one of the best places to buy would be the TCA Eastern Division train meet is next Friday and Saturday.

Sorry, no plastic buildings on the layout. Everything is tin.

No concerns here. We are a 501 (c) (3) non profit.

As a Lafayette Band member I will agree.

Yes, it was a non-working donation to the club.

I saw his layout several year ago at the N.J. Hi-Railers.

Thank you very much!

Glad you like it!

If it is a Protosound 2 set it will have the sounds. If your engine was a loco sound engine it will not have those sounds.

@@doctortelco Can you clarify as it has protocol 2 sound but the Rudolph sounds only come on when idling . My z controller that came with the set can’t bring up the sounds with a touch of a button, the controller only has bells and whistles. What controller due I need to get to allow me to activate the Rudolph sounds went I want in idle. Thanks Danny

@@danielprovenzano7258 You have to use a whistle,bell buttons to activate the sounds. For the freight yard sounds while the engine is moving push the bell button, 1/2 second pause followed by the whistle button, 1/2 second pause, then the whistle button again and then hit the directions button that will start the sequence. You will toggle through those sounds with the direction button. Here is a link to the Rudolph manual mthtrains.com/sites/default/files/download/instruction/30rtr13341i.pdf

@@doctortelco Thanks for the heads up I see now that the IR controller was not in the box. Where would I be able to get one and is there a specific one for the Rudolph train set? I see now under the Rudolph coal car with the proto sounds there is a Phillips screw that says smoke and another to the left that has no description . What is there purpose? Do sorry got so many questions! I appreciate your time and knowledge. Danny

@@danielprovenzano7258 the other phillips insert manually adjusts the volume. You do not have to have the IR controller to make it work, just a transformer with a bell and whistle button. The IR controller went through several changes over the years and matching it up may be difficult

The layout has Standard Gauge and O-Gauge.
