My 1950's "nostalgia" Toys and Train Layout

[dsmith]

Here is a video of my layout under the Christmas tree.  This year it's all about toys from the 1950's including my 1957 Lionel 027 #1575 train set.

Great concept and video. Made me feel like a kid again. What is the name of the Robot with the lighted eyes?

Excellent!

Thank you for sharing.

Great video Dave, as always. Having been born in 1953 it brings back great memories of winters in Northwest Indiana when it was too cold to play outside and the basement toys kept us busy. I still have my Lionel C&O with the rocket launcher, helicopter, and exploding boxcar. Thanks again for sharing your layout and skills with the rest of us.

Robert The Robot.  If you turn a crank on his back, he says "I am Robert the Robot, the mechanical man, guide me, steer me, wherever you can."

Thanks for sharing it. I like the track plan. Nice and simple, but enjoyable to watch. Are the crossovers both 45°? :-)

[dsmith]

Yes, both crossovers are 45 degrees.
