Overview of Building and Evolution of a Railroading Focused 50’s Era, Conventional Control, Operating & Switching Lionel Train Layout
Note: Table of Contents for this whole topic is at the end of this Page 1, Post 1
It was time to start a Christmas time layout with a 2 year old son and daughter on the way. My family in St. Louis always had a small train layout with mountain with a Christmas tree on the right rear corner. Santa brought the tree and layout on Christmas eve along with the presents.
A major objective of this layout was to make the track plan and layout active and challenging and operate more like a real railroad. It will not be a simple looping, monotonous and boring layout where interest is quickly lost. Most display type layouts have great scenery and craftsmanship but have several single loops running several trains and no track switches or even a way to reverse the direction of the trains on the loops. These layout plans hold ones interest for 30 minutes max but do not require much if any attention of the engineers. This type of layout plan will not hold the interest of the viewers and operators long at all and is not the layout I want to build.
Synopsis: This real railroading focused model railroad layout track plan was designed for doing railroad operations to keep the engineers busy with operation, switching, reversing, coupling and uncoupling, operating multiple trains and includes many operating accessories, all to keep up interest in running and watching trains and improving the layout. This layout track plan incorporates all the basic track plan categories used for model train layouts. This layout is portable and has been moved to 5 houses and has been on the floor for 2 months a year for 30 years. The layout track plan has three interconnected loops and can make an L shaped loop allowing looping of trains. The plan has an oval and figure 8 and a double dog bone giving four ways to reverse trains. Multiple trains can be operated by 1 to 3 engineers on three loops with three transformers. Five trains can be operated with two loops having 2 trains on 1 track systems. The layout can be operated in a point to point manner and has a ptp trolly track. It has several bypass tracks which can serves to park trains and serve as sidings. The layout has a turntable to reverse locomotives and whisker tracks to store them. The outside loops have a Wye to allow reversing of trains. The outside loop has a bypass hidden track to allow trains disappear and reappear or store hidden trains. The layout has 31 remote controlled track switches, 21 uncoupling/operating track sections and 16 operating accessories. All these capabilities in a portable L shaped layout, each leg 11ft long and 5 and 6 feet wide. The layout does not have an elevated track yet.
This layout track plan was designed as a model railroad doing railroad operations to keep the engineers busy with operation, switching, reversing, coupling and uncoupling, operating multiple trains and includes many operating accessories, all to keep up interest in running and watching trains and improving the layout. 2 of the 3 loops have double revering loops and the outside loop has a Wye to allow lots of options to reverse trains. Five trains can be operated with four having 2 trains on 1 track system. The layout has three Lionel LW transformers, two active track diagram control panels and can be operated by 1 to 3 engineers. The layout track plan has 31 Marx switches and 21 uncoupling/operating track sections for lots of train operating options. An operating homemade turntable and round house's associated TT whisker tracks will allow reversal of engines and storage and selection of locos, and was desired and planned into the layout from conception. The layout has 16 operating accessories, including a turntable and a Lionel Railroad Gantry Crane, that provide action and a purposes and jobs for the trains to serve. Another objective was to have fun building, operating and sharing the layout with others specially young children.
While setting up three or five trains to loop on 3 interconnected loops, is and can be done on this layout, experience has been that just looping gets boring quickly. The layout has 16 operating accessories, some of which allow simulation of industries to give the some trains an operating purpose. The layout has 31 Marx track switches and 21 uncoupling/operating track sections. I will refer to the train layout as a train board at times, as was done in the 1950's toy train board under the Christmas tree.
The layout is portable and has been on the floor for two months per year starting in mid December, from 1977 to 2011. It has been moved to five different houses, due to job transfers, by packing layout sections in mattress boxes.
This topic or thread is about how I built a 1950's Era, Post War style Lionel and Marx 027 Railroading Focused layout, that is, challenging, action packed with many track switches, reversing loops, operating accessories and fun to operate starting in 1977.
The layout uses conventional control. Initially, the layout had two Lionel LW transformers, 20 Marx 1590 switches, 15 operating or uncoupling track sections, an Actionable Touch Track Diagram Control Panel and a homemade $10 operating Turntable ,with pit, and homemade Round House. Larger engines like the Lionel 4-6-4, baby Hudson's 2046, and 2056, the Lionel 6-8-6, S-1 Turbine 671, the Lionel 2-8-4, Berkshire 756, the K-Line 4912, GG1, the Williams BL2 and F7 ABA are successfully operated on this layout. It should be pointed out more modern, constant 18 volt remote control engines were not available in the 1970 and 80's yet so conventional control was the only system available and I have elected to stay with it and my 50's type engines.
We were job transferred, by ALCOA, from Mobile, AL to Kingston, Jamaica in July 1976. We rented a house and bought a used English, right side drive, stick shift, small Hillman Hunter four door sedan. We had some furniture, household goods and appliances shipped from the USA to Kingston, Jamaica.
1976 - 1977 We brought the family Marx 999 freight electric train set, 027 track, Lionel 1034 transformer and four Marx 1590 metal switches to Jamaica in our moving shipping container in 1976. I also made purchases of 027 track and Marx switches, some additional engines, and cars on trips back to the USA in 1976 and 1977. We had a 1½ year old son and our daughter was born in Kingston in November 1976. We had a busy 1976, and no time for trains.
The 4 year old ALCOA alumina refining plant, where I worked, was about 35 miles from Kingston and the plant was 30 miles from the mine in one direction and 30 miles in the other direction, to the port where the alumina was shipped from. The plant had its own ALCOA switch engine for use in the plant spotting oil tank cars from the port, ore cars from the mine and alumina cars to the port and empties from all. The Jamaican Railroad transported all cars from the mine and port, to and from the plant on their tracks.
I planned, made track diagrams, and started layout construction in the carport of our rental Manor Park house in New Kingston, Jamaica in 1977. The layout was ready for operation, on the family room floor, for Christmas 1977.
The layout plan started with features I liked about my childhood Electric Train Christmas layout that Santa Claus bought . The childhood layout was made in two sections from a 9 ft x 5 ft ping pong size piece of plywood and the layout was portable and only on the floor for the two week Christmas holidays. The electric trains were a O27 Marx 999 freight set. It had an oval and figure 8 track plan with 4 Marx 1590 switches. It had a removable mountain with tunnel in the far right corner and that mountain contained a Christmas tree and stand. A small control panel had a place for a train transformer and the four Marx switch twin control push button switches in a row. Almost all these features would be included in the new layout.
The new layout has a unique compact Actionable Touch Track Diagram Control Panel utilizing mini push button and slide switches. This style of control panel was developed to allow quick and easy control of 19 Marx remote controlled switches by following the track diagrams on the control panels. The layout will have reversing loops and numerous uncoupling track sections. The layout started as a single train board with two independent relayed loops allowing two trains to operate on each loop with one or two engineers.
The inside loop includes an oval and figure 8, allowing train reversing in either direction and has 11 switches and an operating homemade Turntable. The outside loop has two alternate/storage tracks and has 9 switches. The outside and inside loops are joined by two pairs of inner connecting Marx switches. This train board can runs 4 trains with two trains per two blocked and relayed loops and numerous operating accessories. It includes a homemade $10 turntable with pit, homemade round house and now an operating Lionel Gantry Crane.
A second train board was added in 1988 forming an L shaped layout. This addition allows a third loop to be operated with a total of up to three engineers with three Lionel LW transformers. The layout now can be operated by one engineer or by two or three engineers at two control panels. This addition has a second Actionable Touch Track Diagram Control Panel and a third Lionel LW transformer. The third loop includes a double dog bone, giving train reversing in either direction for the outside loop for both train boards and has 11 switches and 6 operating or uncoupling track sections. The layout can now runs 5 trains with two trains per two blocked relayed loops with one train running on the new train board and has numerous operating accessories and now has a Wye, that allows reversing train on both outside loops. It is a 027 gauge 50's era train operating and switching layout (initially 29 Marx 1590 metal frog, inexpensive switches). This portable layout has been on the floor in various rooms of 5 houses for 2 months a year, until 2011 when it was installed on legs, upstairs in a new two story two car garage.
The topic tells how layout operation started with 2-4-2 Marx 999 freight electric train set and Lionel plastic locos, evolved to 2-6-4 Lionel 2018 and 2026 locos and then heavier 2-6-4 Lionel 2035s with Magna-traction locos and even Lionel 4-6-4, 2046 and 2065 and the 4-8-4 Lionel Polar Express loco. Operating accessories were the Lionel Milk car with platform and homemade turntable and evolved to two milk platforms, a cattle pen, Icing station, lumber saw mill, drum loader, barrel loader, coal mine loading station, operating trolley line, ice skating pond, log dumper at the mountain and remote controlled gantry crane as well as numerous remote track sections for log and coal dumpling cars. Numerous rail cars have been added including operating dump cars, giraffe, cop and robber, ducking cars and others. Many unique homemade cars were made including Vanderbilt coat tenders, Life Saver car, Borden's "Butter Dish" Milk Tank Car, cabooses, Mercury capsule car, rocket cars and many more.
A Wye was added on the outside loop between the two train boards, where the train boards form the L shape, by using two more Marx 1590 switches in 2020 for additional train reversing action and the layout now has 31 Marx metal frog 1590 switches and 16 operating accessories.
I hope to show that one does not have to have a lot of room, tools, skills or money to enjoy and have fun with this hobby. I will try to provide the logic and reasons for the choices I made in planning and building this layout and to describe, in enough detail and pictures, how I built it for hobbyists to be able to build their own layout.
The initial layout main train board described is 11 ft , 2 inches long and 5 ft, 9 inches wide. It is in two sections, is portable and easy to store and be moved by one person as it has wheels build into some layout edges. Simple portable power tools can be used and simple fifties type methods were used. The construction is inexpensive and used lumber can be used. Used 027 track and Lionel and Mark trains from the 40's and 50's were initially used. Lionel LW 125 watt transformers and 19 Marx 027, 1590 metal frog switches are also used which are inexpensive and easily found. The layout uses conventional control. Almost all trains and operating accessories were purchased used from individuals from paper ads or at train meets and shows and most are from the Postwar or 1950's time period keeping costs for equipment low. I have other hobbies and interests competing for time and limited funds.
Suggestions and ideas will be shared that will show ways to keep costs low by train gear selection and modifying, kit bashing or scratch building simple structures and accessories including a turntable and roundhouse for less than $10 each. Construction of homemade, scratch built, copied and modified rail cars are also explained and featured.
I am encouraging viewers to quit just following and watching on the OGR Forum and hoping to have a layout and to get proactive and go for it, by spending time planning and then acquiring material and train gear and then building an action packed, interest maintaining layout.
I plan to make additional posts to this topic periodically or when I can, on different features of my 44 year old layout to show what might be included in a layout and to keep the topic rolling for a while. Your comments and suggestions are solicited.

Red and green buttons are push button switches for the track switches and blue buttons are uncoupling and accessory operating push button switches. The black slide switches are for controlling the track sections and when the black is blocking the white track indication lines, the switch is OFF and the track section is not powered.
Photos below showing both Train Boards in 2020 with new Wye. The first train board was started in 1977 and second train board was added in 1988 to make this a L shaped layout. Lengths of the two L legs are 11 ft, 2 in original X 12 ft, 3 in including the original and the new train board making the long length on the right side below.
The Wye on outside loop can be seen in center of picture above Green lighted LW transformer
Details of the Completed L Shaped Layout in use since 1988
The two control panel track diagrams below show the total L shaped track plan of the completed Layout. The layout main train board includes an oval and figure for the inside loop of the Main original train board giving reversing in both directions and an includes a turntable. The second control panel, for the new train board, shows a double dog bone giving reversing in both directions for the outside loop of both original and new train boards. The bottom edge of the original train board shows the recently added Wye that allows reversing of trains on the outside loop, including the ability of moving a train from the outside loop of the new train board, to the outside loop of the original train board and also to the inside loop of the original train board. One can see the fun to be had with trains on the side tracks and the loops clear and one train allowed to roam freely all over the uncluttered loops and routes. The layout has now 31 Marx track switches and 21 uncoupling/operating track sections,
Below - Main Figure 8 Train Board Control Panel - 11 ft 2 in x 5 ft 9 in, the only board to 1988 and the new train board track diagram (with new Wye) control panel in the same position as the actual L shaped total layout
Above - The New Dogbone Train Board Control Panel , 7 ft 6 in x 4 ft 7 in, added in 1988, which can Operate Stand Alone
Lengths of the two L legs are 11 ft, 2 in original X 12 ft, 3 in including the original and the new train board making the long length on the right side below.
The planning and construction of the Original Main train board are covered in the first 22 posts of this topic, then the planning and construction of the New Train board is covered in posts 23 to 30, making this a L shaped train layout. Posts 31 to the last post detail how homemade accessories, rail cars were made and other improvements and operational improvements like the new Wye.
The exceptional layout track plan with three loops, three Lionel LW transformers and 3 operating cabs on two control panels, train operation with two trains per two loop operation, homemade $10 turntable and round house, Wye, 31 Marx 1590 switches, homemade accessories, and many homemade cars make this a very challenging and rewarding layout to make and operate.
The inside loop of the original board allows reversing in each direction with an Oval and Figure 8. The outer loop has allows reversing in each direction with a double loop Dog bone and a Wye allows reversing with forward and reverse operation and allows movement of a train from the third loop on the new board, through the outside loop on the old board into the inside loop of the old board. Routing trains and operating is always challenging as there is no means to tell which way a switch is thrown other than to look at it or remember which way it is set. I am pleased to share the layout with you and hope you enjoy the write up and learn some new ideas, or hints.
