Gents --
While at Cornell University in the early 1960s, I went to a Niagara Frontier
Region NMRA meet in Buffalo NY. On a fan-trip visit to the Buffalo O scaler
model railroad club, I was pressed into service to operate the On3 layout,
which
was embedded in the center of this huge display. At one end of the narrow
gauge
was a four-foot-long full-train turntable, hidden inside a mountain. It was an
Armstrong; that is, I had to turn it manually.
I had a good time making up trains in the yard, then sending them out on the
main, turning them inside the mountain, and returning them to the yard and
breaking them up.
FYI, the turnouts and electrical blocks were all controlled from a four-man CTC
panel on the mezzanine. The CTC equipment was real, donated by the New York
Central.
