I saw the layout i think it was 1986, my mother and sister went to Cats the broadway musical we lived in Iowa, road trip. My dad and I went to the MSI and I was mesmerized by the F units in Warbonnet pulling the chrome lustered silver cars. It wasn’t long after the rebuilt the layout took place, we went back around 1990 and I was not impressed as much by the freeway thing but it did represent the era. I was very fortunate to see it in its original form. A woman let me see how they ran it on a stand up control panel on one end.. wow to a 12 year old. Cool beans.
