While I am a bondafide 3-railer, I have tremendous respect for the 2-rail O-scale railroaders, past and present. Among the giants was John Armstrong. If you never heard of him, he was the dean of track planning, and wrote many books on the subject. He was a really neat man, in the realm of Frank Ellison. I am hoping to find a DVD of his famous layout - the Canadaigua Southern, as well as the interview I believe Allen Keller did with John. I once had it on VHS years ago and I think I sold or gave it away when going digital. Allen Keller made some of the finest model train videos I ever saw, and started to produce DVDs but John's layout was never put on DVD (I think). Does anyone know if there's a DVD of John Armstrong's layout and/or the interview with John?
Thanks.
Typing this from Canandaigua, NY...
It was the Canandaigua Southern.

Thanks, correction made, barely made it through English/grammer, LOL.
From what I remember about the older Allen Keller VHS video of the Canadaigua southern - John had been working on it for ~ 50 years.
