Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows what the small railing next to the track on John Armstrong’s layout was used for? On all of the web sites that I have seen, the photos of his layout show this railing next to one side of the track.

The CS used outside 3rd rail as did many early O scale railroads.

Thanks for the reply.
Was the power A/C or D/C?

Standard DC - just used outside 3rd rail so he did not have to insulate all the wheels on his existing equipment.
