forum_emoticons.html	[quote=Raul1983,18164]I collected 1:18 scaled cars untill I ran out of space. I have NSU Prinz, VW Coccinelle, VW Kleinbus, Citroen DS, Jaguar Mk II, Jaguar XK8, Auto Union 1000S Coupe, Fiat 500, Porsche 356, Alpine A110 and MB S-klasse W220. I also have kept toy cars I had in my childhood (Majorette, Corgi, Lesney, Siku etc.) about 200 of them. Also various other toy cars in different sizes, a couple of miniature rail roads and a vintage scalextrics race track. Here's a funny pic of the 1:18 Prinz. It looks almost like a real one doesn't it ? ;) [URL=http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hpim0005un9.jpg][url]http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3874/hpim0005un9.th.jpg[/url][/URL][/quote]

You know, your model train set reminds me of the model train set I have in my basement. I guess I haven't shown any pictures of it here yet, I often forget it’s even there since we never use it anymore.
It is the slightly smaller "HO" gauge train set, but otherwise it's quite similar to Snookie's “O” gauge set:

Aw what a shame, i suppose it got broken or something right? is it only that small piece or is it a lot bigger and we don't appreciate it? don't you have like a wide picture of it or something? i too like the model cars, is it me or i did see a Clio and a Renault 5?

Fortunately, nothing was lost, but we had to clear out the place to air it out. Yeah, as of now, that's the only small pieces of the layout I have. And yes, you did see a Clio and a Renault 5. I added those two cars to give the traffic some pizzaz. (And as a reference to Die Hard 3)

Yvon lives in Luxemburg, but as I remember, he is French.

Wasn't he Belgian? At least he was living in Belgium when he joined the site as admin, as I discussed by phone with him to explain him how to post pictures.

:wow: Max, your train set is awsome, I wish I could set mine like that (currently its position is a table tennis table!)

I'm starting to think that it could be the one in Hamburg :think:

At the bottom of the Wikipedia-page is a list of train displays:

Helpful?

Have you tried Google?

I did. All results were related to the location in Hamburg, except that one:

But Cincinnati is not in Europe.
