Lionel Trains at Thompson CCC - Canandaigua, NY 12/13/09

Lionel Trains at Thompson M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center Nursing Home - Canandaigua, NY 12/13/09 - Our Annual 120 square foot one-day display in the lobby. We run a little bit of everything - Lionel, American Flyer(prewar O Gauge - 1930's), K-Line, MTH, Williams, old & new, including the Polar Express, all on a Lionel Fastrack layout. A lot of the folks share their memories of trains, real & model, with us. We always pick up some local history tidbits!

The 1930's American Flyer set belonged to Jack Stover I, of Rochester(Brighton), NY and Naples, NY, as a young boy.

The quiet, concentrating kid is happy enough, just a little bashful doing this once a year show for people he does not know & who ask a lot of questions.

All of this layout is new since 2004 and this is set up in the lobby of a nursing home one day a year(not a house).

All of the newer trains and the tracks are my 12 y/o son's. This includes the Polar Express, NYC diesel set(this and Polar Express powered by can motors) and the Jersey Central FM. He is very particular about his purchases.

Hey, I was the same way when I was that kid's age. I had my parents bring in trains for the school christmas party, and I was pretty shy about it. I still have all of my toy trains, but they are packed away, because of lack of space in our home. Hopefully, one day I'll have a decent sized layout because I have quite a few of them :P

Most of my trains are from the 1990's, mainly Lionel with 2 early MTH-RailKing Steamers (the early Railking products were REALLY nice).
