Title: Roadside America Layout Auction
Post by: Terry on December 14, 2020, 01:50:56 AM

I remember going to see this when I was a kid back in the lat 1960s or early 1970s. I know we went in 1978 when we went back to PA for the summer and took a day trip to the TCa museam and the PA ducth area.

We had trains at home, so the trains aren't a big draw. The layout, on the other hand, was astonishing. All the hand made buildings and small motorized attractions like the circus parade are just fascinating. The decades of work that went into this layout certainly makes it unique.

The later photos have blue tape and lot numbers on them I think this means they are going to cut the layout into small sections.

Just fascinating.
