You never know what will inspire someone to plan a layout with its own special personality. Dinarte Ferro saw pictures of a Lionel No. D-264 Super O display from 1959 and decided it would be perfect as a home for his collection of O gauge trains and accessories from Louis Marx & Co. Just one look at the realistic scene Dino snapped in his train room in Smithfield, Rhode Island, leaves no doubt about the wisdom of his choice. Drifting past a No. 2979 Oak Park lithographed station on this sunny morning in July is a freight train headed by No. 1829 4-6-4 Hudson steam locomotive and tender, which Marx offered with or without a smoke unit.
