Some O gaugers spend years designing and building their layouts, and others go at it with the speed of a runaway train. Count Steven Pasternak among the “I won’t sleep till the work is done” crowd. He told us he finished this two-level 5 x 9-foot three-rail display in less than 100 days! Lionel and Kusan trains from the postwar era share space on his layout in Lake City, Fla., with accessories from the same period as well as more recent times. Steve is especially fond of space-oriented models, and so he made certain to install his own version of Cape Canaveral on the upper part. Below, you can pick out Plasticville U.S.A. structures and lights.
