Return to All Aboard - Everything About Railroads and Toy Trains

I'm opening this forum for discussions on any topic having to do with railroads, toy trains, railroad stocks, train travel et cetera.

My brother is a Lionel fanatic, I am a Indian train travel fanatic and my kids are toy train fanatics.

Three topics are of particular interest to me at the moment:

1. I am friends with a principle of the investment firm which bought the Lionel company a couple of years ago and am eagerly looking forward to a possible IPO.

2. I am beginning to think about making plans for my 50th birthday celebration aboard a private railcar on a train in South India. Still 7 1/2 years off, thankfully.

3. I am buying GRTS - The Great Train Store - which on poor earnings lately is down to $3.50 from a high of $10. It's a very well run store, with excellent and smart management. 26% owned by the chairman and founder. 40 stores in prime locations. Great mercahndise selection. They have got to be thinking about a website. Go KTEL! of trains.

Everyone is welcome. Please come in.
