Photos of a few of my earlier HO layouts

This is a photo of the layout I built in my parents attic back in the mid 70s.

Here's a look from the other end.

In this photo are the traction line and HOn2 1/2 line.
The loco was an old Bachmann dockside with a narrowed Mantua cab. The cars were scratch-built.

This layout I built for X-mas 1988.
Designed as a base for the X-mas tree, it was only used as such that one year.

This is the front half.
Behind it, standing on it's side is the back half.
The two halves were held tgether by 4 door hinges.

This is the right side.
The ice house toward the rear was built from scratch with plans from a magazine.

This is the rear.
All the structures for thr engine servicing facility were built from scratch.

This is a view of the left front corner.
This layout served as my primary HO layout until we moved to AZ. 2 years ago. I spent a lot of time adding detail and rearanging things since these photos were taken.
I salvaged as much as I could when I dismantaled it, then burnt the rest.

This layout I bought for $50.
It needed wired and scenery completed.
Most of the buildings came from the first layout in this thread.

A view from the other side.
I sold this one for $250 before we moved.
Those are the only other layouts I have photos of that I am aware of . If I come across photos of any of the others I'll post them.
