[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 63241, member: 148"] My dad was a telegrapher with the CMSP&P railroad after he got out of the Marines. Used to go to work with him some nights and "help". His friend used to have a set up in the attic of a pole barn (about 10 car size) that was huge and very detailed. That guy also built working 1/8 scale steam engines for some big publisher in one of the northern Chicago suburbs. Sure wish I could remember where it was. We went there as kids the last day they had it open to the public as the old man had passed away and the widow wanted all of the tracks removed from the estate. I'm thinking it was Donnelly, as in the phone book guy. [/QUOTE]
