This is hands down the best O-scale engine ever made. Period.

Lionel’s Vision Line GE Evolution Hybrid
Thursday, February 25th, 20102 new turntable stalls to be built
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010I’ve decided to expand the turntable by adding 2 new stalls, bringing the total number of stalls to 16. There’s no room for full stalls capable of hold engines, but I can squeeze in 2 small stalls that will be capable of hold small MOW vehicles such as the new TMCC equipped trackmobile that I ordered from Lionel’s 2009 Vol. 2 catalog. I will park the trackmobile in 1 of the new stalls and probably Lionel ballast tamper in the 2nd new stall. I plan to install a “Mini Commander 2” board in the ballast tamper so that it will be under TMCC control.
Dennis Brennan
Monday, February 8th, 2010So over the past week or so I’ve ordered a bunch of new scenic supplies from Dennis Brennan. Dennis runs Brennans Model Railroading Products and writes a lot of stuff for CTT Magazine. His “Sandy Harbor Terminal Ry” layout has been featured in many magazines. He recently published a book on Hi Rail scenery and he was kind enough to send me an autographed copy. In short, Dennis is a master of scenery and his book is really worth checking out. I’ve had several long conversation with him over the last week or so and he’s just a storehouse of cool scenic knowledge. If you’re looking to build a train layout, you need to buy his book.
