Photos of outstanding compact layouts in every gauge have flooded the Classic Toy Trains office ever since we finished our special-interest publication titled Toy Train Layouts for Small Spaces. The S gauge display built by Gerold Slotkin really tickles our fancy. He has filled the 6 x 9-foot two-level railroad in North Brunswick, N.J., with postwar trains and accessories from the American Flyer line by the A.C. Gilbert Co. Gerry photographed a pristine No. 372 Union Pacific GP7 road diesel pulling a string of colorful tank cars around a curve, passing by the Nos. 585 Tool Shed, 596 Operating Water Tower, and 768 Oil Supply Depot.
