Some of the trains for Russell's collection are Both O & Standard Gauge Tinplate Trains from the prewar era. The First Layout is powered by 2 275 Watt AWs, and a Quartet of 250 Watt Z transformers.The 4437 towers have fully functional switches. They are used to power 27 switches, and also for the roundhouse & sidings. Look Carefully for the Billboard that Has a picture of Pere Marquette 1225 which is located 2.5 to 3 hours apart from the TMBV Studios to Owosso. The original Standard Gauge switches were too big for the 6 axle coaches and could easily derail. On the second layout, The MTH Versions are much easier to use. The Second layout is powered by an MTH Z-4000 Transformer, 1 Lionel ZW, and a pair of Lionel Z Transformers. It was measured 25 by 20 in a different room. There are 18 Switches on the New layout, and 22 switches on the old layout. Under the Switch controllers, and the MTH Z-4000 transformer, Look Carefully for the Photograph of Southern Pacific Daylight 4449 on a Night Photo session.

Under the top, is another 8 by 12 layout. Here it contains the General trains version of the Union Pacific M10000, The suburban 2210 Known as the Voltamp, and a Milwaukee road Standard Gauge electric parked on a siding. Next to the Carlisle & Finch Layout, is another layout with every locomotive, rolling stock, track, and accessory made by Boucher.

With the 2 layouts complete at the 52 minute mark, John Potter talks about the past and present comparisons of the Amercian Flyer 4696 Full Piper set. The original was made in 1928. The tender is marked 4692. The 1928 Model came with its original instruction book, and a pocket catalog. Fact Alert: before Lionel invented the steam whistle in 1935, and the bell for the Pennsylvania B6 0-6-0 in 1939, the 4696 was the very first American flyer steam locomotive to be equipped with a mechanical bell. When it was first released, the american flyer Engines came with a small 2 chant tin Whistle. The MTH Model Looks the same, except that its equipped with the Proto-Sound 2.0, and synchronized smoke. On the TMBV Studio Layout, The original 1928 Model is pulling passengers, while the MTH reproduction hauls freight.
