Here are the cubs; Jed, Clarence, Rex and Donna, in August of 1960 having lots of fun with their trains and train board layout.
This is the 0.27 gauge train board layout Al and Marge fixed up for the cubs to enjoy.
The add-on room to accommodate it was built in February of 1957. And the train board was completed by early July of that same year.
The year 1957 was also the same year Al completed achieving his master's degree with majors being in advanced electronics and upper level aerospace engineering.
The advantage of a three rail track system is you can loop track to head a train back in the opposite direction on the same track without electrically shorting out the system...The outer two rails the wheels roll on are the same polarity. The locomotives have a pickup that rides the insulated center rail, which is the opposite polarity.
Next posting will be the floor plan of the house as it was in 1955...The way it was when Al and Marge purchased the house in 1951.
