Perhaps it is not surprising, but, I have never enjoyed an article more then this. Perhaps my interest in "Super O" has something to do with this! Hopefully you feel the same.

Not only is Roger Carp's article about Steve's article outstanding, but, note the 2 other "Super O" articles included. One is entitled All About "Super O" Track and the other is a fine story about Mark Tolby and his D-224 Display layout from 1958. Hope the CTT readers enjoy "Super O"!

If you want to compare the 1957 original Lionel Showroom "Super O" look below.

Steve's interpretation is a "slam bang" winner. There are so many highlights I am not sure where to start but that baseball game (all
animated), the Plasticville toll booth, the Dick Reichard double crossovers that were custom made and all that 072 "Super O"! The control panel and the control booth are amazing. That plasticville airport!<G> Love it.

Steve is a perfectionist and runs both Lionel TMCC & MTH DCS. Up to seven complete loops can operate at once. I could go on but you will read the article.

I wonder from where all that gorgeous "Super O" came!

Enjoy the article. Roger Carp's storyline is so well done.......

Very Best, Mike Spanier

Love the new issue with a new article on LIONEL SUPER O TRACK. I really hope Lionel wakes up and Remakes the super o tracks, only to modify the switches to be more scale like and wider radius curves. If they do, I really do beleive they will have a winner.......Wake up Lionel, Jump on it!
