Or sliding a penny or copper washer on the tracks. That's what we did with our slot car tracks back in the day.

I have every post war American Flyer steamer, except for the big #332
Northern, and 9 complete sets. I have a small platform I set up under the
tree every year and run 2 different trains making sure to rotate them
so I never run the same engines 2 years in a row.
My favorite engine #342 0-8-0 switcher. It was a DC model but converted to AC by a previous owner. In the backgound is the K5 Pennsy (#312) passenger set. That's the post war station on the left and the pre-war station on the right.  Here's a #350 Royal Blue I restored. Before:  After:  |

Wow - very nice! I don't have every AF loco, but I do have a 332
 A couple Hudsons (one with a front coupler for doubleheading), Atlantic, K5, Franklins (stock and customs), handcar and a few custom builts. |

After all these years I never realized the relationship between my love of trains and Willys Jeeps.... Amazing. I remember wanting to become a locomotive driver, I had the whole outfit and wore the crap out of it. I’ll be 46 this March and still have my Lionel Train from my parents when I was born. Still works! I think I’ll go fetch it and play now.... that was a really cool video!

I have my dad's train from the 1920's and want to put it under the tree but I'm concerned it will get assaulted by the dam cat.

to many jeeps, parts, and accessories to list here, but apparently enough to keep me in trouble with my wife. |

 ... I'll suggest that to Juli, but pretty sure I'll be the one on it for suggesting that. Guess I have to wait for his natural demise.
