fife requested that someone start SPH this week since it sounds like he has grandpa duty. So as a member of the Fraternal Order of Grandpas I thought I would help him out.
Good luck fife,

D&H C-420 passing the Lionel factory.
Beautiful work gentlemen, thanks for the look!
Doug,
Very nice. What can you tell me about the Lionel factory. Is it from a kit, or made from wall moduals, or all hand built?

I’m not really sure about the origin, but it looks a lot like the kit referenced below with possibly some additional minor modifications/additions/subtractions. The layout was about 99.9% complete when I joined the club, I got to piggyback on everyone else’s labor. [:$]

Looks like the Korber kit:
The grandsons invaded Fifedom this week, so we threw down a loop of tubular track in the family room (ok, a 12 ft loop of track with O-72 and O-54 corners), and had some good old fashioned carpet running. An original MTH J 611 is doing the honors, pulling a string of 7 N&W and SantFe varnish. We kept it simple with a C80 transformer, so the curly top could get in on the fun.
NICE!!! Thanks for sharing
Oh boy ! Why do I feel somebody is going to have their hands full ? [;)] [(-D]
Fife, Just remember “parental revenge” load up the grands on sugar then send them home. [:o)]
