Hello all Bill Lenoir was one of the most instrumental designers of early O scale . Lenoir designed cars for Walthers , engines and cars for Scale Model Railways , Saginaw , Hines , Simmons , Hawk ...and in later years was a master builder of custom locomotives . Lenoir in the early 30's was living in Wheaton, Illinois and admired the Chicago & Great Western Railroad . Lenoir's first layout pieces were patterned after the Chicago & Great Western .

Here is video link to see a Chicago & Great Western E7 460 designed by Lenoir for Scale Model Railways 1935-40...this engine was a kit built by Meridth of Wisconsin in 1939, cars are built by Lenoir 1934-7 for use on his layout ..hand lettered .
