Subway stations and structures

I wanted to share some photos about the subway I am currently restoring for my new train room. I purchased this subway from my neighbor who's name is Steve Bales. Steve worked for Lionel in the early 50s and then a lifetime career with the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. Steve was an incredible talent and after viewing the photos I think you will agree. Steve got very sick a few years ago and the layout was being torn down. I was lucky enough to purchase it before everything was tossed. We cut the subway into 6 pieces with each weighing about 350 pounds. I then had to transport them to my home and begin incorporating them into my new train room. I have been working on them for the last year and half and expect to have them completed in the next 6 months. I just could not bare the thought of this subway being destroyed. Steve also had a EL which I also saved.......That will be in the future. If your interested in hearing my story about Steve you can listen to the Notch 6 podcast episode #107 titled the "Lionel Employee in the Neighborhood"
