My article appeared in OGR August/September 2016! I received my copy today. :-)

Great Job. 

Congratulations. Haven't gotten my copy yet, but will be watching for it.

Hi John - Congratulation on the OGR Article. “Along the O Gauge Glacier Line”.  Run 286.  I do remember riding in those 1937 Red Jammer open-top buses.

My OGR Magazine came today, Photo below is from John’s article page 60, I would recommend this article. Check it out pages 57 to 64. Nice job with the System Map and layout drawing.

Gary

In a couple of weeks, I'll be shooting video on John's layout. It will be in the next OGR "Great Layout Adventures" video.

Congratulations to Everyone in Building, Photographing, and Designing this very nice Railroad. This is a Great Layout. Also, Rich Melvin is an Expert Film Maker, this will be a Great Video to Watch. Thank you O GUAGE RAILROADING, The Magazine, The Video, and of course, The Friends along the way.....

Congratulations and look forward to the video!

Yes Congrats! and nice work there. I'm on the fence about the new Empire Builder set. I need to get the Amtrak trains finished first. I'd better stop looking at the goat or I may crumble.

Your layout is great!!!  -Don Klose: the Bellevue and Schenectady Railroad.  Great job on the video!

I did like this article, with the references to historic sites, and that the layout is point-to-point.  I think I just now guessed that the "MP" discovered by J.F. Stevens is Marias Pass.  Every time I've tried to drive Going-To-The-Sun Highway, the pass has been closed by snow, so no luck there yet. First I've heard mention of Lewis and Clark and a firefight.  I missed that site, too.

Congrats!!! That is one awesome layout and I am looking forward to the video. 

Congratulations John !!!! 

Alex

Alan

Dear Mark, thank you!  

If you would like to see all the pictures (God Help You!) please look on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glaci...cierline?pnref=story

There are over 900 some odd pictures and counting and I frequently update the happenings on our Line via Facebook.  It's really funny because the people I think would care the least often surprise me by saying: "I haven't seen you post anything for a while."  That occurs in non-model railroad other areas of life: band, church or dance club.

Anyway, there are more than enough pictures on there to put you to sleep on any restless night.

I still enjoy looking at the very first photos that I took in June of 2011.  It just makes me tired thinking about what if we had to do all of this over again?  I really appreciate and enjoy all the work that has been done on this layout.  I just can't believe that it's in my basement!  This is a childhood dream come true.

Thanks again Mark! 

John,

Thank you so much for the Facebook link!  I will definitely check it out!  I think I know what you mean about who comments.  I will post a like or a photo, and someone from high school who I haven't seen in over 40 years will comment favorably.

Yes, the childhood dream!  I have liked trains as long as I can remember.  I will finally get a whole room for a layout when our last daughter get married in September.  I may have collected enough that when I pull it all in from around the house and garage I won't have room to build!  LOL

Is there any place on this forum that gives a good guide to writing an article for the magazine?

Someone has been really pushing me to write something on my own layout and I'm starting to think about it. If I submitted it anywhere, I think I'd rather go to this magazine first...

Great article. Please ask Rich to bring a camera car/engine and put a layout tour of it from the engineer's seat in the next DVD. Thanks for taking the time to do the write up.

Hi Lee - I wrote an article for run 278 June / July 2015 Page 48 - 53 "Multi Levels in the Man Cave."

Thanks very much, Gary, both for the info and also for the kind words!

John, a local hobby shop carries the magazine, and I'll be checking out your article when they get this issue! Sorry if it looked like I was derailing your thread...
