It occupies what was once a dance ballroom in a huge mansion and is a magnificent layout. I've been lucky enough to view this very large layout several times. I still have most of my own American Flyer trains and train sets from the 1940s and 1950s (perhaps 20 in all) along with lots of track and original literature that went with them. My grandpa preferred Lionel trains and at one time in the 1950s he had one of the largest layouts in Michigan. He also liked Packards, but his absolute favorite cars were Imperials... and he had a few of them too! Posted on: 2019/12/20 10:33

If I set them up again, it would be great to find a futuristic Packard model or two to go with it! Posted on: 2019/12/20 15:10

They did make some magnificent trains though. The copper one is named "The Prosperrity Special". Attach file:   (300.80 KB) Posted on: 2019/12/20 20:31

It seems the materials used back in the day react and parts eventually get eaten up. I believe the wheels are especially affected. Also - in the first photo - is that train set a Lionel? I was under the impression the American Flyer used two rails and Lionel used three. The track pictured has three rails. Or is it an AF on L rails? Posted on: 2019/12/21 14:46
