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:
