Nicely done, ed h. ! The floodlight towers are definitely seen in the background of that last shot (Jersey Central crossing bridge) but they are less prominent in the "yard shots" of the video. I think they may have rebuilt the yard. The surrounding elevated track is the same type of construction - track running on top of a ridge, rather than on naked trestles (except for the shot near the end, w/ the SF Alco in it.) I know there have been a very few interviews of MPC Lionel guys (John Brady is one name of the top of my head) but I don't recall any mentions of display layouts. In the PW days, they had a complete dept. There were guys like Jack Kindler that supervised layout building along with other responsibilities. It would be nice to find someone who could shed light on this layout. I'll bother Roger Carp one more time...
