I'm looking for one of those Life-Like styrofoam train layouts. HO Scale. The ones from back in the 70s and 80s. Its a round-track layout with mountains around it and a small town in the center. I keep checking ebay, but its rare to find it on there. Heres a shot of it from the catalog: http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r132/tonycook1966/Like-Like%201974/LL_74_P02_L.jpg

*bay is probably your only shot, unless you drop a want ad in Model Railroader or Model Railroad Craftsman (there are layout builders out there who have its plans). The Life-like Styrofoam layouts were kinda fragile from what I remember and damaged pretty easily. The one or two I saw for sale years ago at a local train show were in pretty bad condition but the sellers wanted prices that ... well ... you could buy five or six new Woodland Scenics Mod-U-Rail kits and their benchwork and still come out spending less.
JC Penny used to sell them in the Christmas catalogs ... I always wanted one but my parents couldn't justify the cost back in those days.
Toy Trains Unlimited did reproductions of Lionel Dealer layouts, there had been talk of but I don't know if they branched out into the Life-like discontinued layouts or not. I like caffeine and a chainsaw ...
