Craziest Floor Layout I've Ever Seen!
Ok, so while I am posting my last Youtube video I saw this video. This has got to be one of the craziest floor layouts I have ever seen!

Just watch this wonderful MTH Comet go through its' paces....Marc
Starting the Layout

Lionel Summer Trolleys
The new Lionel Standard gauge tinplate summer trollry repros running. This is a really nice set. The motor in the powered car seems like a very faithful reproduction of a period motor even down to having bronze bushings in the steel side frames. Jim
NETTE Video
Here is the main prewar table at the NETTE auction. I didn't take a video shot of the O gauge stuff. They O gauge boxed Blue Streak was fantastic. The American Flyer Zephyr and boxed Flyer Comet were two of the best I've ever seen.Marc
