Really beautiful pictures. They clearly show that toy trains was a hobby for the richer families. By the way, what is the origin of these nice photo's?

Well Francesco,
Perhaps you are a solitary Lionel enthusiast in Italy, but certainly not in the EU. Few toy train operatores leave traces on the web like websites and blogsites, but I gathered a few on my blogsite. The British Lionel collectors club has members from for instance Malta. You can also notice quiet a substantial Ebay trading activity in Germany, France, Spain, Sweden and Greece. So, the Lionel virus is well spread out over Europe. I hope that you will show more of your layout and collection soon on one of your blogsites and tell a bit more about your enthusiasm for American toy trains.
Ciao Eggo

ciao heggo, many thanks for your support, i have visited your blogsite and i'm enthusiast from your work... you are a great collector and an expert to prewar lionel train restoring.

I have a request for you.
I have an American Flyer Hiawatha and a Lionel Hudson i want to restor but i'm not be able for non experience... you can help me ?!? i have experience in H0 train from italian railroad history, but Lionel is different. Another question for you: in you country there's the 220/50 or 110/60... in the first case, how you resolve the problem ?!?
Many thanks.

Eccomi di nuovo a mostrarvi qualche altra delle mie meraviglie :-) come descritto nel post precedente, ecco i bellissimi pezzi che compongono il set del treno elettrico Lionel ancora da restaurare. Sono in buono stato di conservazione, ne ho visti molti messi in condizioni disastrose, bisognerà lavorare sulla ruggine e sulla riverniciatura. La locomotiva 150, dopo una bella lubrificata ed una lucidatina ai contatti, funziona bene! Prossimamente il progetto per la completa restaurazione. Here i am to show you my new items :-) like i saw, this is my beautiful tinplate train set before the restore. The 150 locomotive works great after a good lube. Next from TreniElettrici: the 150 restore project ! Qui invece una chicca appena restaurata. Un segnale di passaggio a livello con campanella realmente funzionante comandata o dal treno o manualmente. Here is a cool item. A level crossing signal with ringing bell. It can operate by train o by manual command. Ecco due video del treno in azione,
