I began my 5' x 9' Lionel Postwar 027 layout in February 2006. I found a track plan in the December 2003 issue of CTT Magazine. In the following slideshow you will see my humble beginnings as I set up a temporary layout on top of my pool table and began to learn all about Lionel trains. I soon migrated to a permanent layout in the basement and over the years have modified and added to the beginning track plan, added scenery, backdrop, electrical hookups, control panel, wall decorations and shelving for all the Lionel postwar items that I've been collecting. The last picture shows the layout in it's current state in May 2013. It has been a fun journey so far and I enjoy working on and running trains almost every day. What an enjoyable and rewarding hobby!
