The three generations of farmers hard at work on Rick Borland’s O gauge layout are reminiscent of the three generations in his family who have been enjoying Lionel trains since the mid-1950s. Rick received his first outfit as a youngster, and it included the No. 2338 Milwaukee Road GP7 road diesel shown cruising along the main line in Carrollton, Ohio. Rick introduced his kids to the hobby three decades later, and now his grandsons and granddaughter can be found operating the postwar trains on this 52 x 96-inch display whenever they visit.
