Don't forget the Austin music scene & SRV, influenced by Hendrix (& obviously with the pipe, Albert King).

It is May 20th 1956 and we are looking at the largest HO scale layout in the US at that time. The layout covered 1872 square feet in the old Frisco Steam Locomotive Shops in the Frisco West Yards.
We see E. L. Anderson Frisco Chief Engineer ~ who designed it and Harold Ludwigs ~ Central High School Art Teacher who helped with the design.
It cost $8000-9000.00 to build it. That would be around $87,000 today adjusted for inflation.
The layout was the Frisco first hump switch yards being built in Memphis, Tennessee. (FaceBook: Springfield, Missouri History, Landmarks & Vintage photography)

This pic reminds me of a commercial slot car track.

^^^I wonder if the flag pin was issued in 1912 when both New Mexico & Arizona became states? If so it still would have had only 48 states with 2 (Alaska & Hawaii) still to come.

How about a good Canadian Bill Peyto
it’s interesting to see the lemon squeezer style hat with the brim turned up and then his dress hat, a bowler in the last photo. A pale tie worn in both photos. Shows how small a wardrobe people had back then.

I'd buy a car from them! I saw a truck of a similar vintage to that one with the push-bar on the back row pulling away from Tractor Supply today with the bed loaded with bags of fertilizer. Good seeing it still being used as a work truck. Cool photo @carouselvic !

I like the guy on the left's hat (well ... and the other hats too). He apparently likes that boot!

I think he's prepping to light his pipe.
