I  don't like the fact Lionel never comes up with anything new in regards to their Buildings.  If I see the keystone café one more time in Lionel catalog I'm gong to die. I hope the Up-coming Lionel catalog has something new.

Their accessories especially Plug and Play drives me crazy .  I do not like the large bases for their playground items.

All the connectors for plug and play??? I just want to drill a small hole in my train table to feed the wires through.  ( I don't want to plug them into my track and run them ever time my trains are running)

When it comes to trains I'm all Lionchief Plus.  I'm thinking about switching to MTH Remote Commander because I can control the smoke unit.

When it comes to accessories and buildings I'm all MTH.  Love their buildings!!!

Wonder why Lionel got out of the Building business and is still pushing their Plug and Play system?

I wonder sometime if the guys who come me up with things have layouts, actually drilled a hole in the table.

I also wonder if Lionel ever reads the OGR posts.

Thoughts?

It's a beautiful day here in Michigan!

Just had a nice 10 mile bike ride with my honey.

Stopped at the far point for a muffin and some joe.  Joe...excellent.  Muffin...yesterday's, I'm sure.  Oh well.

We've had some nice rain lately....more could be on the way!....maybe the grass will turn green again before January, after all!!

Do some quick yard work until mid-day.  Then, back to the cool basement for some trains and layout work!

Oh!.....Plug & Play???...........no interest here....maybe for the round-the-tree layout it's OK/handy.

MTH, Lionel, Atlas, WBB, all the other contributors to the hobby?.......God Bless them all!....and thanks for everything they do to keep it interesting!

Moving on....

Not sure what you mean and what your tone is?

But I for one have spent a lot of money for items that need to be "adjusted"   You might be ok with having to alter an item I'm not anymore

countless posts on things not working, smoke units, accessories, etc 

We as a society have come to the accept things as they are.  

By the way I don't have foam board on my layout so the plug and play playground accessories are just to large and unreal for my layout  

I do have wire cutters but that goes to my point about altering products  

I was just trying to figure out Lionel's thought process for not having buildings and keeping the same old stuff regarding accessories on their catalogs like the playground products  

Just trying to compare all the MTH accessories to Lionel.

Look at the MTH ready to run catalogs, pages of buildings and accessories, some cool stuff, Mels Diner for example.

Just wondering why Lionel got away from this product line.
