Lionel Window Display
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, December 26, 2004 11:06 AM
This is my first time here and forgive me if you have previously discussed this topic - but I am looking for an online photo of the Lionel 1950s Magnetraction window display where the train disappears into the small tunnel. I wrote a related story on my website and need the photo for a follow-up comment next month.

Can anyone direct me to such a photo?

Thanks

(fyi - the related story can be found near the bottom of this page under title "Christmas Magic ........................")

Howdy!
Found a picture of the disappearing train layout on the other forum in the photo gallery section. Someone did an very nice job of building it from the plans and article that appeared in a previous issue of CTT. Hope that helps. Bob

thanks Bob and tom - that was fast!

and those photos even detail the workings - great!

if I read the date and time correctly they were just posted this morning - how much more "magical" can it get?[:)]
