@Jim Katz posted:The 1938 Lionel Catalog has many of the items I collected over the years in both Standard and O Gauge. I have items going back to the late 1920's as well. I just needed a plausible time frame for a layout that would incorporate what someone might have collected over the years leading up to 1938.
Great story!! I love going back in time and imagining these sets and layouts, as they would have been looked at in that time If folks here have photos of these store displays from that era.. that'd be great!
Keep it up Jim! Wonderful hobby.
