This channel was created to allow others to get a view of a private Lionel train layout that most people will never see in person. We thought others may want to see. We hope you enjoy the videos!
Looking back at the many changes made over the years to this Lionel train layout and very limited videos or pictures taken up to this point.
The layout will never be finished as there is so much more to add and figuring out where everything will fit has been a challenge.
Layout started as just one level. Thinking about adding a third level. Trains can access both levels from Lionel Fastrack switches 5 & 6 (middle, back of layout). Lionel trestle set was used for a 3% grade to second level. All other supports were designed in 3D CAD and then printed. I don’t have the space for this layout as it is, and that is why everything has been added as it currently is. Once first level could not hold anymore track, I started on second level having the most changes over the past couple of years.
