4 Seasons Hotel layout



FYI  I went to the 4 seasons hotel to drop off a club flyer and saw their layout in the lobby.  They used to used a G scale train running thru a Gingerbread Village.  All the buildings are made out of edible materials by their pastry chefs.  This time they had a Lionel Polar Express circling the village on Lionel Fast Trak.  The buildings are very interesting to see and they use vanilla frosting for the snow.

Ira,  I was trying to explain to Bill about what you are trying to do by adding a crossover between trk 1 and trk 2.  Do you have a diagram?  If so, could you email it to us?  We were thinking about building a pair of crossovers in the yard between trk 1 and trk 2 mainlines.  We thought we could do this when we rebuild the yard sections.  What are your thoughts on doing this?

Hey Tex, 
 
Are you looking for an exact replacement? Or just any transformer that will work. 
 
Here is a reconditioned S transformer I found via google:

I've CC'd the club members as there are others that know more about pre-war Lionel trains. 
 
Cheers! 
 
Steve.
