Lionel Operating Train Society Convention | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

lewrailOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

Had a great time today visiting the LOTS market place in Manchester NH with my friend Jim Lawson.

Found no locomotives or rolling stock, yet ended up with a big smile on my face having acquired 3 great railroad books, a Hoge station, a Barclay skier with skis, and best of all the Marx City Airport from the 1930s--all at super prices. I wasn't sure how to shoehorn the airport into either my Dublo or O Gauge layouts, but then I had the idea to drop it into my Biller layout and here it is. Enjoy.

I had a similar airport as a kid

Not just at airports; did you know the arrows on the roofs of buildings and barns everywhere were to guide pilots who were without radios eàrly on? nod cool (per P51 Lee)

Lew! The airport you bought from me look GREAT!

I am really happy to see it in your set up.

Makes my day and documents the LOTS show a BIG success story from my view.

Thanks for the photos. Awesome. Airport fits beautifully.

Very wonderful to meet you and Jim.

Happiness is the smile on attendees faces.

I just love this type of kabitzing! Especially if it involves my favorite train society! Paula
