    That's neat!! Is it an actual plane or a simulator?
    As I recall, you're a pilot, right? For a big airline I think?

    I have a few toys and also use to race electric RC10t and the gas RC10GT. Was big into R/C pulling trucks and was sponsored so I had to stop racing at the time.

    Now I just build some crazy crap to have fun. Have a losi LST with full titanium hopups, flex teck arms, castle creation brushless motor and the list goes on. Only issue with it is that it busts diff cups almost everytime I have it out.

    Second crazy build is a twin .21 engine dominator truck with LST suspension and ofna titan wheels. Its a bit custom to say the least. That thing is a freak! I had some one tell me it was the only scale moster truck that ran like a real one. It will back flip without moving a foot if you smash the throttle.

    I would be pretty nervous with a $10k plane too!! I watched a few crash on the auction hunter shows! Disaster!

    Yes I did. We had a blast with the one truck.

    The trains...on the platform is an old Lionel set. Two steamers. One is real old and the other is newer. Old one is great, newer one is pretty shitty.
    The oval track, it's a brand new diesel locomotive. "Santa" brought it for my Lil man. Its made by rail king and runs on the Lionel type track. Radio controlled.
    "Santa" didn't spring for the big fancy radio remote. Just the one that comes with it. Very realistic. Smokes like crazy, talks to dispatch, horns, sounds. Its amazing. Just way too much money!!! Even with my discount.

    My dad is hardcore into model railroading. He makes a lot of his buildings. He has a lot of MTH trains. All of the trains on his layout run off of one remote. He's doesn't run the old Lionel units too much anymore. Just displays them. He still has the first Lionel he got when he was a kid. Here's his setup so far. It's always a work in progress.

    Pretty cool toys! I would be afraid to fly them because I would not want to crash them!

    That's awesome!! Mine is the MTH also. I almost got the CSX locomotive set but went for the BNSF instead. I refused the NS mainly because my crazy ex wife works for that company!! Haha. I'm probably going to do the same thing...as in not run the Lionel much and use the MTH rail king more.
    Your dad has that huge remote box, doesn't he?
    The realism and our get from these is completely amazing!

    I like how your dad has the dead locomotive for push/pull also. It might be large enough next year for me to justify getting one like that.

    Speaking of trains, I want to get a good setup for Christmas time. What should I be looking for? My grand father had a very nice metal setup and I wish I could remember the make.

    He has a handheld remote with a screen on it. Not sure. I was mistaken too. The top steam engine runs separate from the rest. I like how he made the balast along the track. I think he mixed it with diluted elmers glue to keep it in place. He also has debris like old ties laying along the track. I'll get some more pics when I go up there again. I think he has a zombie hord attacking a police car right now on there haha.
    Also if you like steam engines this is a good watch. You can ride this train from Cumberland MD to Frostburg MD and back. It even has a working turntable in Frostburg.

    Ollies around my area had NASCAR Lionel sets very reasonable. They came with everything. Even if you don't like racing you could paint them the way you want them.
