Lionel lines trains are fun to play with. They are nice to hold in your hands and run them over the tracks. Personally, I get most satisfaction from restoring pre-war cars and engines that I obtain as overpainted, rusted wrecks and like to turn them into shining gems. This blogsite tells you about my evening hours.

Applying decals
The paint work in the trailer kit did have some flaws, so I decided to sand them off and spray paint again. The paint job turned out much better. Now, I am busy applying the 0 scale CL&E freight trailer decals, I obtained from Shoreline decals. They work easy and look good. Just need to figure out where to place them all, with the help of some old pictures of the original and the drawings from the Traction handbook. And then the last steps will come: a dull coat to blend the decals in and the scratch building of some couplers.
Very similar.
