Conan and Chuck (owners of the GMLTC) have been doing it since the 80's. They
started out using 12v trains (with modified transformers to run on US current)
and the switched to 9v when they became available. I'll get more details and
some pictures of their early layouts and post them here.

| (...) Talked to Conan Today and their first layout was at 1985 NMRA in St. Paul. We're going to rebuild the GMLTC web site to include a timeline and gallery of layouts from the beginning to present. (16 years ago, 19-Oct-08, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) I'm pretty sure I can remember seeing ads and newspaper articles for ones here in the 80s. And I suspect some of our European friends would have been displaying even earlier. Pre-internet craziness. Tim (16 years ago, 17-Oct-08, to lugnet.trains)
