I saved this photo from here on the OGR forum because it was very inspirational for me. PRR trains running in the city. The layout builder owner would post updates on a regular basis......but when I stumbled onto the photo today I realized I had not seen any postings in a long while. I hope I'm not opening a sad story of why no updates.....but does anyone know who the builder is and if they are still in the hobby???Thx.....

I clicked on this just out of curiosity and spent the next ten minutes laughing. To answer your questions: No sad story here--at least I choose to believe so. Yes, I know the builder-- and have for over six decades And yes; he is still in the hobby -- albeit has gone over to the dark side. That is my old layout, around 2006. Some more photos appear below.
I have since taken it down and am building a 2 rail layout. Same basic theme. This is the newest version of the scene you posted.
And thanks for the kind words!
Thank you John!! Since I don't visit the 2 rail area much I must have missed it! But glad to see your great work still going.
Great work. I like it...
John
Enjoyed seeing your Thompson Dairy delivery truck again.

One more favor John......I am in the room prep stage of my new layout. I have a track plan but it's always under review. After looking at your photos again I still see where your 3 rail layout seems better than my current plan. I have a 14x26 foot space....seems maybe near what you had...but I am not able to get the trackage AND the look you did. Do you have a track plan that might help define my plan??? Many Thanks
Dave
Sorry, I don't have anything. The track plan was drawn with a very old version of RR track, and both file and program are long gone. I'll see if I can draw something from memory.
