The origin of the name Triple S & R refers to Grandpa, Stan; older son, Scott; grandson, Steve; and younger son, Robert. Construction work began in 1997 by Robert and Grandpa and is ongoing.  The C&D Transit (Trolley) Co. is a recent addition honoring daughters-in-law Camille and Debbie.

 The System includes five ceiling/wall-suspended operating trains (two passengers and three freights) with appropriate buildings, lights, trees, automobiles and people—plus two operating trolleys.  One trolley circuits around a small 1910-1920’s business district.  The second makes a straight station-to-station run.

There are also eleven shelves where stationary trains are displayed.  Seven additional shelves depict typical, life-like scenes ranging from the 1930’s to the 1960’s.
