John nice additional feature to your website. Mike has two very nice layouts. Do you have any info on those cars on the shelf just above the prewar layout? John it’s great that you have nearby train friends to share the hobby with. Also, I see you finally got you signature updated with your pic….looks great.
Hi Rich
Mike advises: "The cars on the first shelf (going up to top ) are all Carlisle and Finch mining locos from the early 1900’s . They are among the first electric trains . All the others on the shelves above the first are ALL wind-ups from Marx, American Flyer, Ives, Dorfan, Hafner and Lionel-all Pre WW 2. The Carlisle and Finch are all essentially Pre WW 1 . Almost all the trains on the table are Carlisle and Finch."
I can attest that ALL of the 100 (+,-) year old trains on the layout run, and that they run well!
