Wow what a menagerie of subjects today! Palallin - first Happy Birthday!! Best wishes hope you had a great day. You know Lionel (ever clever) sold the #45 as both Standard Gauge and O Gauge. The only difference was the section of straight track that you got with the item when new. Later they eliminated providing the track and just offered the same item to both.

Thanks, Don! Yes, the #45 and the #045, which were consolidated into the #45N. I don't think any of the #45Ns had the lattice post.

Possibly because I have a real aesthetic appreciation of trusses and lace girders, the lattice poles of all kinds appeal to me, and so I had to have this earliest version of the Gateman. Next, telegraph poles, crossing signs, etc, all based on that form. I think they will sorta tie the displays together.
