E. L. Moore, Structure Plans

E.L. Moore was a prolific builder and writer for the model railroad press back in the 1950’s and 60’s. I remember him well, and found early fascination with his many excellent articles. My very first wooden model was built from his “backwoods water tank” article. I was a young teenager at the time; all I had for tools was single edge razor blades, emery sticks, Elmer’s white glue, and water color paint…and balsa wood of course. Here is a photo of it, HO Scale obviously, and I still display it on a shelf even though I made the switch to O scale several years ago.

From what I remember, there is no published collection of all of the Moore articles.  RMC seems unwilling to be bothered to assemble those that they published (~55?) and as I recall, there were a maybe another 30(?) published in other magazines.  Getting multiple publishers to cooperate on such a project seemed to be the primary impediment.

I did some of the resin castings for one of the HO kits, Bunn's Feed & Seed, a number of years ago.

Just having a comprehensive list of these articles would be a good start.

Here's a link with a list of 53 articles.  Scroll down for a more complete list.

Thanks.  I have that same list and those 53 articles available in my library since I have RMC back into 1953.  Some of the other publications outside of RMC are ones that I am missing access to and will have to track down.
