Only Photo of the Very First Lionel Three Rail Track

nice scenery work!

Hey Don, it looks like they went a little past the 2% grade rule. In fact they blew right past your 2%, my 5% and off the charts.

Hey, Hey, HEY! That could be an early photo of Flex-Track!

I wouldn't want to be a brakeman (or any other crewman) on THAT line.

Looks as though somebody rode the Mt. Washington Cog Railroad and decided to build a backyard version.

She'll be comin' DOWN the mountain when she comes!  STAND BACK!

I really don't see a problem as long as she comes downhill!

I think those are wooden rails......can you say splinters? YIKES

Don

Hey Don nice find, At least it's 3 rail

Thanks, Alex

Indiana Jones will be along any second!

That's not the original (Standard Gauge), that's T-rail from the 1930's - you can tell by the tie spacing

Run, don't stand. And stay on the inside of the curves when you do.

Regarding the photos, very nice!
