Reply to "Lobaugh early , middle , and late ..and really late ."

Hello Lobaugh fans ..1941 Rollin tries to expand market share by selling a low priced ready to run engine ...introducing the New Haven American ... for a mere $91.00

This could explain why you find so many more Lionel 700E's retailing, complete with display track for $75.00.

The American was an easier build with a cast boiler ...for the beginning novice if purchased as a kit . WW2 ended the American's short availability not to reappear during the postwar years .

This example is going to need a bit of love .

Also had fun adding a few shelves hoping to get all the Lobaugh together ..well modern shelving is just not as long as the old stuff,...

Also note Lobaugh used various rulers for the Scale of thier engines ...prewar 060 a big 17/64ths ..postwar 1/4" , UP Northern 17/64ths ...Greenbrair 1/4"
