       Running my Lionel OO

       I have been picking up some Lionel OO off some online sources
       other than ebay and have gotten one of my 2 Hudsons set up for 3
       rail operation since you cannot get turnouts unless you go the
       On30 track route.  I wanted the vintage look and feel, but had a
       pair of 2 rail Hudsons(003 full scale and 004 semi scale
       w/whistle).  The 003 was a mess and missing a motor, so I picked
       up a wreck of a 002 three rail Hudson and used its parts to make
       the 003 run again but has a 3 rail model.  I do still need to
       swap out the insulated drivers, but I am not using the non
       derailing feature of my turnouts, so she runs good enough for
       now.  Its a non whistle version so, no need for a tender roller.
       I still have my 004/004w with full semi scale train and a loop
       of 2 rail Lionel track that I will probably sell or trade for a
       001 Hudson with 001w whistle tender.    Anyhow, here is a link
       to my small OO layout running.  Its still a work in progress
       with more buildings to come and probably a loss of the green
       grass soon.   Mike the Aspie
