@bobfett...thanks for your comment on my "Vette" picture.  However, talking about the era you have set your layout in...don't despair, the Corvette was initiated in 1953, externally she looked like the center car in my picture.  She had screens over the headlights, only came with a stick (which was a disadvantage at the time) and had an inline 6 with 3 side draft carburetors as the engine.  In '55 Ford introduced the Thunderbird with an automatic and a V8 and as they say, the rest is history!!

from pennsyfan and Don Winslow - a dual semaphore and a locomotive (OK its diesel not steam).  Semaphore is Hornby.

Best wishes

That is a great little box cab locomotive. Who made it and are they still available?

@pennsyfan...great semaphores...I noticed your "support poles" are lattice work, per my information that makes then pre-war.  Mine are a solid support making them post war, at least 1950 when the poles were re-designed to eliminate the lattice work and to make them a bit shorter.

Don,

Thanks for the reminder. I was only 3 in 1953 so the Corvette didn't really start leaving a mark on my psyche (or a desire to have one) until the '60s. One of our teachers in HS had a Corvette like the blue one in your photo (except it was white) and we all thought that was the coolest car to have. I'll have to look for a 1:43 model of a '53 or '54 Corvette for my layout. I'm sure it would draw a crowd wherever I "park" it.

I never could afford the Corvette or GTO I wanted but I do have a '75 Triumph Spitfire (one owner) so I am part of the "Sports Car" family, but not the "Muscle Car" family.
