Model Trains

I share some of the same interests as my Dad. Several years ago, Dad made a model train lay-out in my bedroom! The track is on wood shelving that runs around the room.

	Here I am standing on my bed, underneath the Hess Truck Display shelf, with the Train Layout on the upper level. The train level is about 10" below the ceiling. A Southern Crescent Limited pulls away on the bookshelf right-of-way! <<<<<<<<<-----------------
Here is an American Flyer "Franklin" set from 1960 approaching an Erector suspension bridge (over the window!). The 1996 & 1997 Hess Trucks are directly below -------->>>>>>>> !

This is a close-up picture of the Southern Crescent Limited train that runs on this bookshelf layout (this picture takes about 30 seconds to display):

This is an "S" -gauge train made by American Models. They make trains similar to the original AC Gilbert American Flyer trains that my Dad collects.
