The photo of the package of mountain paper brought back memories of the layout my sons and I enjoyed back in the late 70's. I remember going on a crusade seeking the Life Like sparkle mountain paper for our rather sizeable layout. Even then it was out of production, replaced by a brown and green version. I managed to find some of the original paper in old hardware stores, but not enough to finish the layout. I liked the old paper for its nostalgic appearance. I ended up creating my own with brown wrapping paper and spray paints. I must say I did a pretty good job of it.
That layout got plenty of use over the years and was a source of pride. We enjoyed inviting friends over to see it. One family in particular became O gauge friends and remain so to this day. Both families are now members of a modular club. Thanks for sharing.
