Tommy Rhoden considers himself another huge fan of the Angela Trotta Thomas illustrated locomotives and rolling stock cataloged by Lionel. As a lifelong three-rail operator and collector, he has a blast laying FasTrack under his Christmas tree in Evans, Ga., and running everything from his boyhood Marx set from 1959 to some of the latest holiday-oriented items made by Lionel. Tommy, who calls himself, “The biggest and oldest kid in the family,” insists the O gauge displays he puts together are really for his 17 grandchildren. We doubt anyone has more fun than Tommy when his No. 84964 LionChief Plus Hudson picks up speed.
