About 15 years ago or so a friend of mine order for me a very nice O scale 30"x144" back drop, he found the vendor in the O Gauge Rail-Roading magazine and of course install it my layout and everybody like it, unfortunately, I took my layout apart in order to move from S. Florida to N. Florida, of course I took the back drop down and very carefully pack it in order to be move with rest of the layout, finally, today I am ready to install it in my new layout and I am unable to find it, bottom line is I can not find it, I believe I lost it in the moving process and to made the situation wors I do not know the name of the vendor and I can not get it touch with my friend, I need some help guys: Does anybody knows who sell back drops? I do not see any in the O Gauge Rail-Roading magazine or those people run out of business?

There has been a recent thread on backdrops. For now, I would avoid this guy.

My layout backdrops are from Backdrop Warehouse and I love them. I'm not sure why Gilly@N&W would say to avoid him. He makes great backdrops and I've been extremely happy with them. I've also always found the guy who runs the company to be very nice. Never had any problems whatsoever.

I can only guess that maybe Gilly@N&W doesn't like the prices. His backdrops are not cheap, that's true. But, in my opinion, you get what you pay for and his backdrops are the BEST...again, in my opinion.

Several years ago I called asking for assistance in placing an order. I had a couple $K set aside, so money was no issue. He bluntly told me to order from his website. I told him I couldn't find pricing for what I was wanting to buy. After being told that I was too stupid to figure out his website, he hung up on me. His website remains one of the absolute worst I have ever seen. Rude does not begin to describe his customer presence. He does seem to be quite sensitive about his website.

I have heard of, and do complement anyone who has been successful in ordering from him. From what I can tell, the backdrops are beautiful and I still would like to have had one on my layout. At one point, I offered cash to anyone on the OGR forum willing to make a straw purchase from him on my behalf. There were no takers. I have checked back on his website from time to time. It appears as convoluted as ever.
