Reply to "Multi-_Plex sectional O scale track late 1930's"

Hello all ....some progress on the layout ..not running yet ..but yesterday I laid out the layout in the basement ...and it will fit ....   as a collector of vintage O scale .. one needs to be able to run both 2 rail and outside 3rd rail .....so the classic shelf layout is outside 3rd and the free standing layout in the center is the  Multiplex  2 rail.   With the help of the 1939 ad showing the layout  scroll up for ad and image  I was able to do a better job of connecting the dots ....much more fine tuning once up on a table fitting the pieces together .   Looks like a few pieces are missing ..but nothing major ... all the switching is there including the slip switch .  Layout is a folded 8 ( around up around and down ) ..and add additional small  center loop  by using the slip switch ..or run two trains independently ...or run one on the 8 and switch and build up a train .... and set it on the passing siding till crew change .   There will be a learning curve to climb on wiring it all up the way it was originally.... all part of the fun .   With luck this weekend start to build some frame work to set it on .   There will be some careful fitting of the layout  as to have a walk way around most of the layout for access to the shelf layout  and shelving.  Overall size   12' wide at far end , 10'  wide and near end  roughly 20' long , in a basement  27'x21' .....need to move hot water heater and sink  to slide over washer and dryer to maximize open clear space.   

Cheers Carey
