Re: Anyone have Model Trains and Slot Cars on their Layout?
Ironically, Lionel's white MPC trilevel autorack boxes carried a partial photo next to the window, of a trilevel 'rack with HO slot cars loaded on it. You could tell since their drive gears were visible under their shells. ---PCJ

Lionel HO & Tinplate lines. - O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum
2020年5月4日 · Should Lionel have dived into HO back in the 50's , was it a good move then and even now. I understand S Gauge since they bought the rights to A/F, but HO is completely different.

S SCALE BILLBOARD REEFER HUNT - O Gauge Railroading On Line …
I'm pretty much a member of the "Reefer Madness" club and as such have been disheartened by the lack of new product from MTH of the SHS billboard reefer model. Years back MTH released quite a few cars of this type and I purchased at least a half dozen or so. Since then it's been the sound of crickets so to speak. I'm pretty full up on the variations of the old SHS models. I avoid …
