"Best of Times"

TURTLE 2OGR Forum Member

I started my "final" layout in late 90's, and construction began in 2006 with "completion" around 2015. To me I was remarkably fortunate to be doing this during the "Best of Times" for O gauge. Lionel & MTH had "new" operating control systems for the first time. There was an "explosion" of product from K-Line & MTH. Lionel was a solid base without much creativity. MTH brought us a vast variation of engines and products. K-Line brought us fascinating products at "affordable" prices! Club GG1's at $150 etc. I have their Ringling Brothers cars, Reed Cross passenger cars, etc. Scenic products are much better now than when I started, but I benefited from many innovations. I do not know how I could have done the layout today without Floquil paints....... I have the layout I always wanted..
