I took a 15 year break and about 2 years ago got back into it.
I was conventional only at first but became interested in DCS overtime. I did conventional at first with one DCS engine and now I have 5 with a DCS system. I have about 10 conventional Lionel engines and a few WBB, I even purchased two Lionel RTR sets, Maritime Exploration and Santa Fe but don't plan on buying more of those. I don't have much time to run trains and I have only scratched the surface using the DCS but I like this better.
I do run the conventional sometimes but not often.
I was planing to offer many for sale but have no interest in giving them away ...
