Thanks Bob, I really enjoyed this project.
I've always been (and always will be) a Lionel O gauge guy but I've always remembered seeing a friend's father's American Flyer layout when I was only 6 or 7. It left an impression on me and, after 60 something years I finally bought some.
I'm now a four gauge operator/accumulator: O gauge (mostly Postwar Lionel) main layout S gauge (Postwar American Flyer) "The Alcove" Standard gauge (Prewar Lionel) Christmas tree loops N gauge - Amusement park ride on main layout
