Here’s a collage of photos of my tinplate traction portable layout from the Sugar Creek MR&HS show in Bentonville, AR, on February 28th of this year. As usual, the trolleys were a hit with the kids!
The layout was a bit more ambitious this year, based on a Linn Westcott design from “Layouts For Sectional Track”. I put the power switching features of a 1022 switch to good use in making a two track terminal. In addition, the trailing switch was hardwired to its mate at the top in order to ensure the car would return to its originating track (as opposed to possibly returning the wrong way and smacking into the car on the layover track).
Equipment operated included Western Hobbycraft Johnstown and New Orleans cars, MTH PE, Pittsburgh and Washington DC PCCs, an MTH LVT Brill and an MTH PTC bump-and-go.
A fine time was had by all!
Very trolley yours,
Mitch
