Greetings & Welcome to the MOTOWN EXPRESS RAILROAD. Here in Motown my 9 year old daughter & I collect and model Lionel O-Scale & G-Scale trains. Our Railroad consist of passenger & freight services & our favorite railroad is the "DT&I" (DETROIT TOLEDO & IRONTON). On our layout you would see Lionel Scale engines consisting of Hudson's, Mohawks, Diesel A-B-A F3 combos, GP-9 & GP-7 lash-ups. A lot of the freight cars and engines you see are CuStOm airbrushed and weathered as to the prototype. Penn Central, Ann Arbor, New York Central, Port Huron & Detroit, Detroit & Toledo Shoreline, Conrail, & Grand Trunk are just a few of the road names you would see on the line. *****The RAILROAD***** Has 5 main lines with sidings, a switching yard, and a raised trolley service that travels through the DETROIT Motor City Skyline. Their are (12) O-72 powered switches, 2,800 feet of 12 gauge wire running the trains, buildings, street lights, and accessories. The Trains run off of (3) 275 watt Lionel ZW transformers, and everything else runs off of (7) 1033 Lionel Transformers & (1) Lionel KW Transformer. The entire layout is Train Master Command Control, consisting of (6) power masters, (1) Command base,(1) Lionel Transmitter, & (1) lazy-boy chair to operate the entire layout from, hahaha....
