| Several
of the compos are seen in this vintage Lionel train layout. Just catching a
glimpse of one of the 6-wheel trucks of the steam engine's tender tells me this
is Lionel's top=of-the line 0 gauge 260E, first introduced in 1930 and catalogued
until 1935. The wallpaper fits that era, too. Note that the windows are already
gone from several of the compo buildings! |

| This new-in-the-box large station is a hard one to find - an obvious knock-off of the famed Lionel #116 station (though considerably smaller - and cheaper! Then and now ...) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Even harder to find is this railroad switch tower. As far as I know, it wasn't part of any set. Especially hard to find with the delicate paper handrail still present. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Rarest of them all is this composition castle ... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ...and it was meant as a light-up piece, as can be seen by the hole in the back and the paper-framed cellophane windows on the front as seen in the photo above. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
