Some of you may remember me from a year or two ago on the forum. I collect prewar streamliners.
I am pretty transient, so I had a small layout in my last place. It was ok, but not really any room for
the streamliners to perform. I started building a second layout, long and narrow with long straights.
Of course then within about a month it was time to move so two layouts to disassemble. I just turned
70 so carting layouts around gets old quick, but I decided to reassemble them in the new place. Just
FYI, I am single so I don't have to worry about "you want to put WHAT in the middle of the living room".
Here are a couple of photos of the new layout, 172" x 37 1/2". Two hollow core doors on sawhorses.
Total cost $130. About an hour to set up. Marx 034 track. Old school, still using lockons and
154c contactors. At present I just finished the trackwork yesterday. Thought I would get a couple of
pics before adding stuff. It will be a permanent Christmas theme. I did accomplish two goals so
far with this layout. It will be ready for Christmas and more importantly to me, there is absolutely
no mechanical connection between the track and the table. Hence, hopefully, quiet.
Thanks for looking, John
