Thank you for the kind comments.
I hope members who like the older 50s style post war layouts and those just thinking or planning can get inspired to just start and go with what space, resources and skills they have and enjoy this hobby. My basic first board layout and four for $10 Lionel 2-4-2 locos, two Lionel LWs and 17 Marx 1590 switches, used 027 track and homemade turntable cost less than one fancy new locomotive. So one can have a lot of fun building a layout and running it with your kids, grand kids or friends. Other locos, cars and operating accessories were picked up over the last 20 years, all used and most junkers a couple per year.

I do not know. I just grabbed an LP from the stack leaning against the JBL L-50 speaker below to adjust the point where the stylus drops to insure it hits the start of the LP.
Hatari ! is setting on the turntable next to the new one. I have eight turntables set up along two walls of speakers and four 1970s stereo receivers.
