Yup. Was used for Dark Side of the Moon and has been so heavily modified that there's almost nothing original to it.

With enough time and money, almost anything it possible. But this particular item has changed owners relatively recently. That's a big hint for you.

Time ,money and dark side were a big hint also

A car lot, yes. Cars, yes. Filthy air, yes. Buildings, yes. Streets, yes. Gay St., yes. Baltimore, yes.
But none of those are the answer.
Clue: I am building a model railroad.

When complete, the Jones Falls Trail will extend 10 miles between Baltimore's Inner Harbor and the Mount Washington Light Rail Station.

The area behind the photograph is part of a park (Kid's Diner Park) used by the Farmers Market and Bazaar on the weekends.

Image

There is a Metro station (subway) about a tenth of the mile behind the parking structure. Are you planing on modeling the Baltimore subway? Are you planning on modeling the parking lot/structure? Are you planning on modeling the Farmers Market Bazaar? If the latter, how would we know anything about that since it's behind the POV of the camera?

No, just a layout on a door. One thing that I find attractive about Lionel O27 is how small a layout you can build.

Since Lionel quit making tubular track the price of such is going up.

Clue 2: I ordered Lionel O27 track from the hobby shop that used to be where the parking lot is now. They are still selling it at the old retail price.

Yes, MB Klein

BTW, While Lionel may have stopped making O-27 track there is still tons of it lying around.

I would be very surprised by there being any real scarcity.
