This photo, the first of five which appeared in
small size in the 1951 American Flyer catalog, was taken at the right end of the 2nd floor
layout, between the lake (to the left) and the industrial area (to the right). It
shows one of the highlights of the layout, namely the three level crossing. This is
a feature that several modelers have incorporated into their layouts. For one
example, see Paul Nelson's layout featured in "Breaking Down
Walls", in the February 1996 issue of Classic Toy Trains, Pages
66-71. The 3 level crossing is shown on pages 68 & 69. |
