Lionel Post War layouts?

Most modern factory stuff I have is from the '70's. Mostly it's all '40's to '60's stuff, with a little '20's and '30's run once in awhile. I have a few new items that I made using parts from old parts.

my sole modern item is my RK M1a. Everything else is Pre & Postwar Lionel , Marx, and MPC.

I'll show you 3 PostWar layouts of mine......the last one with a few MPC items

My bedroom in the Bronx, probably winter 71-72 or 72-73

My living room in Baltimore, about 80-81.

Spare bedroom, Richmond VA, winter 1986.

While I have modern equipment, my layout is definitely postwar inspired. I also have a lot of prewar/postwar trains that are frequent runners on the layout.

I'll post photos when I get the layout cleaned up.

don't be shy about a mess! mine during a recent work session...

Hello Peter

     Great story & photos........ Post War "Like WOW"

Great start on layouts and pics, thanks

Mike

  I found some old photos of my layout, without the mess

Here are some of the Pre & Post War trains I run, 685, 1656, 2026, 2023, 211, 2330, 2035, 622, 261  & 259Es. They all run great on my 1950's style RailRoad

Lots of MPC on the shelves, but nothing made after 1966 on the layout:

My layout is decidedly post-war in concept with a little pre-war atmosphere mixed in.  I run mostly post-war and pre-war on it but I also run modern era stuff as well.  The first several photos are of my regular layout while the last one is a little all tinplate module i built last year.

Back when I had lots of post-war equipment, Dallas, PA mid-1980's. Only locomotive left of the trio is the middle 2046.

great layouts guys!

PW only allowed on this 8x10, turn on the switch, close the door and the ozone of pellet smoke, 3 in 1 oil and PW armature motors just fills the room.  A work in progress.

Early years..  I have progressed to more modern equipment and accessories and scenery.  But, I still run my smoking 2026 with passenger consist, 1665 switcher and my road hog 773 with coal and flat cars.
