Scroll down past the train show poster to view the pictures of all the layouts
and participants. Full coverage of the Lionel layout from early design
and construction to Phase I completion is the subject of April’s featured model

After
many months of delays, the Children’s Playroom G scale layout is finally
complete. This past Tuesday, Al Thorne and members of the G scale
Group (Larry Schneider, Tim Fitch, Keith Johnson, Evelyn
and Dick Wilson) finalized the project by laying track, connecting wiring,
and running the Circus Train on the around-the-room loop. See the group
photo here.
A full chronicling of the project including the plexiglass platform installation
by Desert Star Glass Interiors is the subject of May’s featured model railroad.
Until
next month,
ALL
ABOARD !!
