Enjoying trains with my son! From Big Boy 4014 Excursions to our O-Gauge Model Railroad: "The Secondhand Overland", it's a blast enjoying these together. Explore our Lionel Train collection with reviews, hop on board scenic railroads, and visit amazing places as we continue our adventure!
Our channel has been focused on this "Dad life with Trains" since April of 2023. From inspiration we've seen online from fellow content creators to the real locomotives that roll through our home town, we've taken what we've learned to create an O-Gauge Train Layout at our home. So whether you want to learn what we've done or see what kind of trains we have or want to dig into the history of how America was built, there's a lot here!
This fun father-son project is further supported by our family and friends here so we're so happy to share the progress with you all here on "Dadified".

Transforming the terrain of the layout starts with some pretty sweet rock castings I’m working on. Check it out in my latest layout update!

#MentionMonday goes out to my bass-slapping buddy @zechariahfrink3707 ! He’s into O-Gauge trains and follows our exploits on YouTube and Instagram but we also share a love for the funky stuff. He’s a talented musician sharing covers and original jams on his bass. I have a music background myself so it’s been really fun these last few years sharing appreciation for both! You never know what kinds of people you’ll meet in this hobby and he’s a great example of a cool crossover! 🤘 Bass is not a Fish! 🐟🎸

#MentionMonday goes out to my friend Dave (@F-M_aholic) who has been a longtime supporter of this channel. He’s helped me get some wonderful engines to add to our collection and always has a smile on. Dave has a clear passion for Lionel which is only surpassed by his addiction to Fairbanks Morse locomotives. One of these days I’m gonna make it to the Lionel Store in NC and give him a crisp high-five for all that he does for our hobby! Thanks, Dave!!

Trouble with the Tuesday lunch Livestreams but I still gotta thank everyone who chimed in, who jumped back in, and back again. What a mess but hey I think it was still fun. Thanks everyone for the support, can’t wait to get this Friday video ready for y’all and we’ll see you again next week LIVE. 👍

#MentionMonday is honestly overdue, because they’ve been a friend in this hobby for awhile! @trainsoflark is one of those guys that makes the hobby happier. We teamed up to attend our first York together. We talk nearly on a daily basis about trains, dad stuff, and everything in between. But today reminded me it’s not good to take friendships like that for granted, so I gotta shout it out. THANK YOU Larken for your friendship, for your passion with this hobby, and for finding the good wherever you can. From rounding up creators for the Magic of Christmas to work with the 2025 TCA convention to the Lenny nomination, it should go without saying it… but I’m saying it. Thank you!

HEY! Got a potentially silly question for ya. If someone did a custom run of DADIFIED LionMaster Big Boys, would you buy one?
