Great Toy Train Layouts of America, Parts 1-6

The Great Toy Train Layouts of America, Part 1
Three fascinating toy train tours: Ward Kimball’s multi-gauge layout and collection, which spans the history of toy trains from 1870 to 1940, Ralph Johnson’s O gauge layout, which features a 40-foot long mountain range, and Michael Primack’s O gauge, where toy trains are maneuvered and switched just like real trains. The Great Toy Train Layouts of America, Part 2
Part 2 was named by People Magazine as one of the Top Ten Videos of the year. Featured are Stan Roy’s amazing O gauge layout and Chuck Brasher’s Standard Gauge. Stan operates 32 Lionel Postwar Lionel trains, many of which are rare and valuable, simultaneously on three levels – a world’s record performance. Chuck Brasher has probably the finest Classic Period (1925-1935) layout in the world. He operates a Standard Gauge Hall of Fame – the Blue Comet, State Set, President’s Special, the Olympian, and many more. The Great Toy Train Layouts of America, Part 3
This is the Pennsylvania Suite two delightful toy train layouts in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania, the heart of toy train collecting in the United States. The layouts belong to Phil Klopp of Easton, who operates Lionel Postwar and Modern Era, and Bruce Manson of Lancaster, who is strictly American Flyer S Gauge. Both have so many vignettes of mountains and bridges, villages and cities, work places and play sites that it will take repeated viewing to enjoy the wonder and whimsy of it all. One of the highlights of Phil’s layout is an amazing replica of the famous Horseshoe Curve in Altoona, PA. And, of course, there are the

Tom Swift and His Electric Locomotive


“An electric locomotive that can make two miles a minute over a properly ballasted roadbed might not be an impossibility,” said Mr. Barton Swift ruminatively. “It is one of those things that are coming,” and he flashed his son, Tom Swift, a knowing smile. It had been a topic of conversation between them before the visitor from the West had been seated before the library fire and had sampled one of the elder Swift’s good cigars.

Write up states one left and one right remote turn-outs. In reality, they are both ‘MANUAL’ turn-outs. I am returning this product.

Wiring Your Toy Train Layout Reviews

Review by Jon D. Lamkins:

This book provides the basics of everything you need to know about 3-rail train wiring. Especially helpful is the section on wiring blocks, hooking up and phasing multiple transformers, and wiring accessories.

Note 1: This covers AC wiring. There are other books that cover 2-rail DC wiring (there are differences!)

Note 2: For the toy train newbie. If the book cover contains the text “Classic Toy Trains” it’s primary concern is 3-rail and O or S scale. If the text says “Model Railroader”, it’s primary concern is 2-rail HO and N scale. This is good to know so that you don’t spend your money on books that are not applicable to your layout.

Review by G. Ulrici:

Peter Riddle’s Wiring for Your Toy Train Layout is an excellent source for the wiring novice and even those with a little layout working experience. The book touches all the principal track possibilities & gives examples of wiring for each. The book also touches upon the newer command control systems (by Lionel & MTH) but this discussion would not be reason to purchase this book.

For me, a true beginner in building a permanent layout, I found it a little wanting in the particular track I chose- Ross Custom sectional track. For example I found it impractical to wire by soldering underneath the track, separating the rails distorted my track sections and soldering flat against the rail (as suggested by Mr Riddle) made it just as difficult when it came time to inserting it into the particular roadbed I’m using- Rossbed. But that’s me, your mileage may vary as they say.

However, in total, I would have to say that this book (along with Peter Riddle’s Trackwork for Toy Trains) is a must for the neophyte embarking on his first journey in the world of 3 rail layouts.
