JOHN BROPHY’S STANDARD AND O GAUGE DISPLAY

With a laugh, modeler John Brophy assures viewers that not every trolley or train stopping at the Lionel no. 115 station receives as loud and impressive a greeting as is happening today. The porters, station personnel, and passengers can’t quite believe a brass band clad in its finest military uniforms is playing patriotic marches and other heart-stopping tunes for them. But all the excitement and enjoyment as shown here tend to be ordinary sights on the 7 x 13-foot Standard and O gauge display John built at home in St. Louis, Mo. He runs original as well as reproduction models.
