Enjoy more photos of Craig Chidester's layout
WOW, someone who has and operates a #375 turntable? That is REAL commitment, Craig! Not only a collector who has a fine condition Postwar collection, but one who also plays with all of his collection.
Great layout Craig! Will see it in person sometime.
THIS LAYOUT IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT A COLLECTOR AND OPERATOR CAN DO VERY SUCESSFULLY TO HIS ENJOYMENT AND THE ENJOYMENT OF ALL WHO CAN SEE IT.
I have operated cousin craigs layout its awesome running 3 long trains at one time.postwar trains are unique to there time. running craigs layout brings back memories of times gone by when trains were simple to operate. I run legacy on my layout. how times have changed!
By golly, there sure is some great stuff in these photos. It sure brings back memories. A nicely done post war display type layout.
