Celebrity Train Layouts - Mandy Patinkin<br>Part 3<br><br>Mandy's layout is a realization of a boyhood dream. His affection for Lionel trains started early, and never really faded away, despite embarking on a highly successful film, singing and TV career. Mandy wanted a layout that would capture parts of his family's life, and what's exactly what he has created (with help from sons Gideon and Isaac, wife Kathryn, and layout designer Rich Roman).<br><br>The large, scale-detailed layout features a freight yard, mountains, animated carnival, operating ski lift, scale structures, and parallel mainlines with sweeping curves.<br><br>Mandy operates a mix of Lionel's Modern Era, including the 2243 Santa Fe F3 re-issue from 1996, Amtrak GG-1, 490 C&O Hudson, Illinois Central 8580 F3 passenger set from 1985, and a 2380 NYC Geep. Eric Cornwell, Mandy's stage lighting designer, used state-of-the-art theatrical lighting techniques to create spectacular effects. Plus an interview with Mandy.<br># Bo |
