  • Toy Train Scenery Build a ‘Hidden Corner’
    I NFORMATION STATION Toy train scenery Build a ‘hidden corner’ Re-creating a scene from Lionel’s postwar display layout story and photos by Stan Trzoniec IONEL’S 1950SDISPLAYLAYOUTin New York City left an impression on me that has lasted a lifetime. To this day, many of this O gauge layout’s fine details and Lsmall scenes are etched in my memory from one three-hour visit decades ago. One scene could have easily been overlooked. On the far corner of the layout was a scene that combined a suburban setting with a pedestrian overpass – it reminded me of the busy commuter stations near my home in New Jersey. Complete with a Lionel no. 132 station, it had tracks that swept out in a wide arc. Farther down the tracks, trains would slip beneath the main surface of the layout only to briefly reappear at a below-grade station before turning back to climb to the main level of the layout. When I began building my layout, which is based on the famous showroom lay- out, I still had an image of this “hidden corner” in mind. Clearly, I had to adapt the corner into my plans. Cornering an idea My hidden corner has one track that descends to a lower level and then emerges from a tunnel portal to make a sweeping 90-degree curve before climb- ing back to the main level of my layout (photo 1). I added a siding along the curve for an extra train (a four-car string of Lionel Pennsylvania MU cars) to serve rush- hour commuters.

Motive power for a train is provided by a separate locomotive or individual motors in a self-propelled multiple unit. Even though the cost per mile of construction is much higher, electric traction is more viable during operation because diesel import costs are substantially higher. This practice allows marginal communities to be served in the most cost-effective way, at the expense of a longer journey time for those wishing to travel to the terminus station. Miller Engineering.
