Just came across this for sale in Ohio. It was already pending when I saw it so I wasn't tempted, but I thought how much Papa Ted would have loved to see it. The track is Gargraves, by the way.

Sorry for the wide format (breaking my own 800-pixel rule), but this is truly a one-of-a-kind.

Wow...right out of the last century for sure...when we played with three dimensional electro mechanical toys and not virtual ones on a tablet or PC screen...

About Ted...my "semi educated model train mind" tells me Ted would be telling us all why you never put any switches on or near a change in grade and why it would never work...just saying... :lol:

Thanks for posting this blast from the past...

My very best regards...

Howard...
