cheapclassics Mitch, Those are some cool designs. Thanks for posting them. I have a Polar Express Trolley on order and some of those might work for me.

Mike:
My pleasure! I find that the modern Lionel trolleys handle switches and crossings better with a bit of weight in 'em. I recommend an ounce or so at either end...
And, of course, all of these layouts are perfectly suitable for use with regular O27 trains, too!
Keep on trolleying!
