Its been a long time since updated pictures of the New Delta Lines layout were posted here. Thought that it was time to share some new photos with all. So here we take a look at the latest view of the town of Douglaston. In this town everything is scratch built with the exception of the modified Lionel station, the water tower and some of the flats taken from online sources. The late great Frank Ellison created a layout called the Delta Lines back in the 1940's and 1950's. The layout was destroyed but it remained in many stories and articles that Mr Ellison wrote for Lionel's Model Builder magazine. It was with his inspiration that my layout called the New Deltas Lines was started 12 years ago. Its not as big as the original but incorporates some of its best ideas.
Note that this town is but one of the towns on the original Delta Lines. At this point the layout is 90% complete, (more weathering needs to be done, ballasting of track and a couple of structures added). It will be finally open to all visitors in Jan 2015 at an admission charge of only one handshake.
Just noticed I've got to straighten out that fence!!!!!-LOL
