Ray, I gotta hand it to you, I'm drooling here. I still have hold of my Lionel stuff, but I can tell just from one end of your setup, you were way past what I had. My cousin who was about 6 yrs. younger than you had a MASSIVE set up. When my Uncle Ray got back from the South Pacific he spoiled his oldest boy rotten with a Lionel set-up that was the thing of dreams too.
