Thank you for your response. I was not very clear about Pittsburgh. It was a long time ago. I will not be coming to visit! We do not get up there much now days. Thanks for the plan post and really like it.
I lived there as a kid in 1957 and my parents lived in the south hills from 1965 until my dad died in 2009. So we would go to Pittsburgh see them for a week or so most of those years. We all became Steeler and Penquin fans and Pirate fans except when playing the Cards as we grew up in St Louis.
While I was overseas in Jamaica from 1976 to 1979 we went to Pitt twice a year for a week at a time on vacation. I met a guy named Dave from an ad in the paper who bought Lionel trains and I bought some of his "no wanters" and Marx switches, track, transformers etc. The three years in Jamaica is when I built my portable layout and moved it back to the states and then to 5 states and still have it, up and running. You may have seen my long running post on the evolution of my toy train operating O27 layout with the $10 homemade turntable and 27 Marx switches.
