Post War Lionel Trains, BIG Power small Dollars

No need to spend a lot of money on toy trains really. If the modelling get serious that's one thing, for just running them from time to time, the running is the fun. SO in that spirit my childhood trains are out for the winter, and I add some more Lionel ALCO FA's as the are WAY down the food chain from a collectors perspective therefore CHEAP. And have been evaluating different ways to power my layout without having to resort to very expensive built for model railroading transformers & power supplies. So in this video, some of these new for me toys are being evaluated.
