Hi everyone!
My name is Cory and I'm a brand new member here so if I'm posting this in the wrong place, I hope someone will kindly let me know.
I spent the last few months restoring my grandfathers old layout from the late 50's. As much as I would like to decorate this board with all sorts of accessories, I can't. I made a promise to some of my extended family that I would restore this layout to the EXACT condition it was in when my grandfather built it, in order to honor his memory.
The small (5 X 8) layout features two reversing loops and a siding where trains wait for each other to pass. The auto-running is controlled using WWII Navy surplus radio relays.
The Lionel engines and cars used in this layout are:
736 Berkshire
205 Missouri Pacific
3359 Twin Bin Coal Dump Car
6560 Bucyrus Erie Crane Car
3562-50 Operating Barrel Car
3494-275 State of Maine Operating Box Car
6162 New York Central Gondola Car
6414 Auto Loader Car
6119-100 D.L.&W. Work Caboose
Now, the work is complete and I am very happy with the results. As a new member I'm excited that I get to share it with everyone here at OGR, as I have been visiting this forum for a while as a non member.
Enjoy!
As NJCJOE and Steamer said, your grandfather would be proud of you!
