fife requested that someone start SPH this week since it sounds like he has grandpa duty. So as a member of the Fraternal Order of Grandpas I thought I would help him out.
Good luck fife,

Doug,
Very nice. What can you tell me about the Lionel factory. Is it from a kit, or made from wall moduals, or all hand built?
I'm not really sure about the origin, but it looks a lot like the kit referenced below with possibly some additional minor modifications/additions/subtractions. The layout was about 99.9% complete when I joined the club, I got to piggyback on everyone else's labor.

Looks like the Korber kit:
Same me, different spelling!
The grandsons invaded Fifedom this week, so we threw down a loop of tubular track in the family room (ok, a 12 ft loop of track with O-72 and O-54 corners), and had some good old fashioned carpet running. An original MTH J 611 is doing the honors, pulling a string of 7 N&W and SantFe varnish. We kept it simple with a C80 transformer, so the curly top could get in on the fun.
NICE!!!!! Thanks for sharing

Fife, Just remember "parental revenge" load up the grands on sugar then send them home.
