Tom Johnson’s L&IN - 3
I earned $2.50 a week sweeping the floors of my cousin’s bar-
bershop and used my earnings to get the Athearn set out of
layaway.
My first layout, built on the typical 4’ x 8’ sheet of plywood, I
operated throughout high school. After graduating high school
I attended Manchester College. There was no time, or room
for model railroading during my four years in college, so I sold
them, and purchased a stereo system to put in my dorm room.
3: Van Tower has been abandoned and sits forlornly at
the crossing while Norfolk &Western hoppers rumble
over the diamond it once protected.
