Welcome to my personal website! I collect and operate Lionel O-gauge three-rail trains as a hobby. My initial purpose in creating this site was to share my hobby with others. I have been interested in toy trains since 1963. That is when I received my first Lionel electric toy train set, which is graphically shown above. (In most web browsers, hitting the "Escape" key will stop the train. The "Refresh" or "Reload" button will start the train once again.) Since I was only three years old at the time, it has truly been a lifetime hobby.

On my site you will find layout and train photos, video clips, a track plan, and an accessory list for my Lionel train layout. There is also a monthly update of work in progress, any trains I may have for sale, awards my website has won, and some banners to use on a web page. I have a web page which features a Kusan Model Trains O-gauge two-rail layout and an HO-gauge Schuco Disneyland-Alweg monorail. Other train makers featured on my site include AMT, Kris Model Trains, Frank's Roundhouse, and Williams. Consult my Site Map for a complete index of what's available. Note that external links on my site will open in a new browser tab or window.

I have also included some pages devoted to past toy train layouts. The knowledge gained from working with these layouts through the years has been key to the success of my current layout. To get started on my layout tour, select a link from the menu on the left. I hope you enjoy your visit!
