New York - 2nd Floor Layout - The Boys' Railroad Club
Although the 2nd Floor layout at the New York Hall of Science was
not open to the public, it was often used for advertising photos
throughout the years of its existence. The layout was
constructed in late 1949 and early 1950 and the Boys' Railroad Club
television show was probably the first such use of it. While a
studio layout was also used in that production, most of the train
action took place on the 2nd floor layout. What we can see in
those shows is the layout as the finishing touches were being added.
These photos are probably earlier even than the photographs in the
Buckage Collection. With the permission of John Huster, who
produced a videotape of all 6 episodes, I present a few still shots
of various locations on the 2nd floor layout in this section.
