Down at the club, we O-Gaugers got wind of a Lionel display layout that needed a home. There’s no room at the club, but a local nostalgia museum is interested in our proposal to keep it there. The layout would be on long-term loan and operated by us on museum open days. It would be on loan from the owner, using postwar Lionel trains donated to the club.
Rumour has it a local department store built it following the Lionel D224 plan. The supports, accessories for the blank spots and a ZW transformer are boxed up.The trestles are below desk height, which would’ve been ideal height for kids to pressure their parents while train-watching. The track is Lionel Super O.
It’s in great shape, but of course needs some elbow grease - basically a 1950s time-capsule, ideal for a store promotion display and let the trains run. We’re figuring out transport options and then it’s cleanup time. No doubt we’ll be trying to run something after the first track-cleaning.
