The quintessential article about the 1957 “Super O” Lionel showroom layout is in the November, 1997 issue of Classic Toy Trains (CTT). Skip Natoli was deeply involved with the writing tour of the 1957 showroom piece for Roger Carp, Associate Editor of CCT. Skip provided most of the pictures with the help of his personal acquaintances.
What is lacking are additional photos of this layout. No additional photos have surfaced. This forum would be a great place to post an “All Points Bulletin” for anyone knowing of old photos of the 1957 Lionel “Super O” Showroom Layout! (Even if family members are in the pictures).
Do you know of anyone who might be able to assist? Your help would be most appreciated. Please contact: hspanier@aol.com or Natoliskip@aol.com or post on this list if you prefer.
May we have your assistance?
Thanks, Mike Spanier & Skip Natoli
