Halloween on the Jon and Linda Pincus LayoutJon and Linda Pincus celebrate Halloween in an outstanding way on their train layout. Enjoy these super pictures taken by our SWD photographer Herbert Alfred Mayer.

The layout features 3 loops of track: Standard Gauge, O-Gauge and S-Gauge. Left to right Jon Pincus at the controls, with Bruce Peterson, Hollis Cotton and Larry Pearson onlookers.

All three gauges can be run at the same time. The layout features a number of Lionel Standard, O and S Gauge accessories.

A Halloween O-Gauge consist goes around the curve while an S-Gauge freight leaves a tunnel.

Another view of the layout with the village in the center all decked out for Halloween.

Both vintage and modern accessories mix well for an interesting layout.

The colors of these lighted Standard Gauge passen-ger cars accent the Halloween scheme.

“Dream of Dreams: The Finest Gift That Any Boy Can Possibly Receive”

In the tradition of great Hollywood sequels, the 2014 Cal-Stewart display will be: “LIONEL STANDARD GAUGE: THE GATSBY ERA, DREAM OF DREAMS”! That dream is simply the most extraordinary outfit Lionel every offered, the 407E set, featured at the back of the 1931Lionel catalog. The set consisted of a four car Lionel 408E with four Brown State Cars, a 400E work train, and every major accessory that Lionel offered that year. At the staggering price of $350 during the depths of the Depression, this outfit was truly only a dream for most. Only one complete set has ever been discovered. For 2014, that dream will once again be realized! A work-ing example of this amazing display will be showcased and hopefully be as magical as it was on that Christmas morning eight decades ago!!

A big ‘Thank You’ to Mark Kelly, Club Member from Pennsylvania, for discovering a great looking Holiday “Seasonal” roll of LifeSavers on which to base this year’s car. We thought we were finished with the series, but with sharp eyed people like Mark out there...who knows! He found the LifeSavers flavor in a local restaurant and passed it on to us. Also, a big thanks to the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. staff for providing the original artwork for the car.

The Cal-Stewart Meets began over 40 years ago as co-operative activities of TCA’s Nor-Cal Division & T.T.O.S. Southwestern Division. The November Ontario, CA Meet (visit www.cal-stewart.org) is open to all Toy Train, Model Train and Toy Enthusiastes and is the largest club sponsored public train and toy meet west of the Rocky Mountains. Nor-Cal TCA sponsors the Spring Meet in Northern California. See www.norcaltca.com for information on the Spring Meet.
