lets see if this works

hi, been working on my layout non stop.  one, i keep messing things up and two i love it.  somethings i have done look like a b movie standard but oh well.  got the oval track done with the ballast.  that i think looks good.  i got on photobucket and uploaded a pic.  now well see if i can figure out how to get it in here.

understood.  will watch my p's and q's.

i dont think that is a cause word

no, i dont use profanity in a forum.  wouldnt do that.

hi, i am doing my first layout and been asked to post some pics of it and loco i have.  cant figure out how to load pics here.  i cant even find the icon to start it.  any help would be appreciated

thanks

the maintenance guy is out till next week.  did you know that motor only costs ten bucks.  i couldnt believe it.  the other dealer that was there said he thinks its the gears because the motor is running but not going anywhere.  will just have to see what labor will cost.  i do believe its under warrenty though.

thanks for the info frank.  that kinda stinks on the value.  but since im never going to sell it i guess it doenst matter.  they are in excellent condition.  called my uncle up and he said he thinks there is probally 20 hours of run time one it.  said they pretty much had it under the christmas tree for a few years but once they got into their teens that was it.  then sat in storage till me.  the only thing that really really stinks is the boxes are gone.  my uncle is upset about that because he said those boxes were in pristine condition.  my grandpa was real maticelit (spelling) with everything and he said those he was the one to take it our and put it back. but somewhere along the moves from house to house must have got lost.

yes i would be glad to post some pics.  2 things.  this is my first layout so its going to be pretty basic.  and 2 i dont know how to post a pic.  is it as easy as ebay on here.  just upload and click.

thanks
don

thanks i will try that.  tomorrow going down to the lionel dealer and mabye he can help

just got a lionel pennslyvania flyer set, 2009.  cannot get the loco to run.  its getting power because the lights are working and i can here the engine but it wont run.  not forward or reverse.  i tried switching the buttons on the bottom of the train and still nothing.  any ideas.   thanks

no its not wahoo.  i am a tribe fan so my screen name is for chief wahoo.

real brief summary for ya so i dont bore anyone.  new to the hobby.  got my dads train when he passed away 8 years ago.  so i finally pulled it out and took it down to the hobby shop.  the thing probally hasnt run in over 45 years.  he put it on the layout they had there and it took off.  so i was hooked at that moment.  it is a 1953 lionel 736 berkshire.  he has the complete set 2211 freight set but substituted the turbine that came with the set with the upgrade 736. 

so i have a freight set but needed a passenger set for it to pull and the bachmann b&o just looked awesome so i got it.   just started my layout.  so i am watching videos.  i bought a year of subscription to o gauge mag at a rummage sale.  but because their forum is communist i want be giving them anymore money.

going to have a farm layout

hi, just got a b&o 4 pack heavyweight passenger set by bachmann.  beautiful set.  i am very new to the hobby and i was just wondering why the prices are reasonable compared to lionel new catalog.  now im not talking about vision.  but the classic line.  again i am new so i am not trying to ruffle anyones feathers.  i asked this same question at O GAUGE MAGAZINES FORUM and they deleted it.  so much for free speech.  well i guess i wont be getting another years sub from them nor will anyone of my friends.
