Menard’s Metropolis Theater, Aerial Bridge on Bob’s Train Box 80

Menard’s Metropolis Theater and Aerial Bridge highlight the 80th Bob’s Train Box. Bob Keller and CTT editor Hal Miller have an up-close look at the new and colorful movie house and the sturdy industrial-looking bridge from the home improvement chain. Plus, Bob reminisces on the history of the LocoMatic control box, a digital accessory for O and S gauges that didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Check out the LocoMatic in a review of Atlas O’s AEM7 in the December 1999 issue.
