No way we want to sell this one! My Uncle Willy would not be happy... needless to say this is a GREAT engine... but when I first ran it on the Waste and Ruin, it didn't run at all. It had last travelled in 1990 - in the Bronx.


Then the Little Monster Transformer cranked 30 Volts into it and it sputtered to life! The LMT is hiding behind and between the Engine and its mate...


Added some needed Oil and it then became a wonder - the magnatraction worked very sweetly and then down the Mountains it would come with 12 cars... lower that Voltage, pal. or wreck we will!


Does anyone remember the Addams family? I never knew that Lionel sold a Super-O Version! But The Waste and Ruin is bigger...

  • ​The "double helix"  layout is 57" x 12 Feet! 
    we used the "variac" shown  on the "power" page to run it up and down the R.O.W!
