I am thinking about recreating the 1957 Lionel Showroom layout. I have gathered quite a bit of information but I have not found a track breakdown. I could go through the layout plan I have and figure out the track listing but if it is available already that would be great. I am questioning the expensive/availability of that much Super-O track so I may do it in Fastrack but I think I would like the look of the layout more in Super-O. I figured I would get an accurate track count and make the decision from there.

It is the 32'X16' that I am looking at. The more I think about the less an exact copy becomes.

 

Real water is definitely out, too much maintenance. The layout could go days without being run so fake water is the plan.

 

I need wide radius curves for larger steam engines. This and the question of coming up with enough Super-O is driving me to Fastrack although Gargraves is on the list of possibilities.

 

This layout features a lot of custom buildings. I plan to use more accessories instead.

 

Thanks for the input,

Steve

Steve - Contact me off line and we can discuss. I supplied all the Super O for the 1957 creation. It is less expensive then FasTrack: hspanier@aol.com
