    • In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

My Dad died in 2012 and he left me his 1947 Lionel train that he got when he as 7 years old. He used to set it up around the Christmas tree every year, but not for the last 5 before he died.

This year I decided to set up a small tree like normal and then on a whim when out and bought a small N Gauge train to set up around it. Then again on another lark, I went out to the garage and found the tracks for my Dad's train. Grabbed his engine from the closet and cleaned and oiled it up.

Before I took them both down, I set them both up in a circle and shot this little video.
