It took me awhile, but I finally figured out that if I lift the factory above the N scale tracks, it would open up a lot of space in the center section
The original supports for the elevated track were not used, but have come in handy now
The entire front face of the layout is being re- done, and improved
Like that Pennsy tender from a #250. The 250 was my first Lionel train. Still have it.

My first 2025 was complete, with tender and box. I loved it so much, I bought a second 2025 at the train show, but it was A La Carte ( no tender). So, I found this tender at my old train store. It was a perfect fit !!

Building flats are coming along nicely...
At least on the transformer station side...
But even with " shake the box " kits...
It takes time to assemble and paint everything
Happy with what I have so far
There are those who will try to tell you this house is haunted
but don't you believe it !!!
I wouldn't say that house is haunted either, but it certainly has a rather unique second-floor tenant!
I'll betcha there's not going to be any burglaries in that place!
"Frank" stands at the door to the train room to greet guests, check I.D.s , and remove the unruly.
Like some of those bouncers back in the Disco days...
one guy had a face covered with scars, and a nose that looked like it was broken more than once...
Most of the building flats are in place along the front face
There are thousands of details to clean up, but this is roughly how it will look
This is my best layout so far, and I've enjoyed building it
It shows!
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
Thank you ! I have learned a lot from past layouts,
and I'm always on the look out for great ideas to steal....
Never got around to finishing this
at least yet
Most heavy construction is done
it's just about adding details
And with that, I plan to take advantage of the cooler weather, and start setting up the Garden railroad,
so, I'll be switching gears for a while...
Postwar Paul Never got around to finishing this at least yet
How about a zipline?
Penny Trains Postwar Paul Never got around to finishing this at least yet How about a zipline?
Or maybe some firefighters holding a jump net?
Sorry, haven't looked at the forum for a few days
trying to get the G rollin'...
A lot of this old track will have to be rehabbed before it can be used...
