I see in the new issue of OGR that Ash Rawl's layout in Richmond VA was moved to Bobby Daniel's hardware store in Blacksburg. That must have been some move. I had the pleasure of visiting that layout at Mr. Rawl's home in Richmond a few years ago when I lived up there. Does anyone here know why this happened?

My understanding (and this is third or fourth hand information) is that Ash decided to change to narrow gauge and sell his O gauge layout. Bobby Daniels bought it and moved it to his hardware store in Blackstone. Ash's layout was incorporated into the overall Christmas layout Bobby puts up every year. I also understand that after Christmas, Ash's layout was left standing in Bevells Hardware for all year display. I haven't been down there since Christmas so I can't confirm this.

Thanks for the info. I am glad Ash is ok. He is a great craftsman. I guess I need to get back up to the hardware store this year.
