I still regard John Allen as the greatest model railroader of this or any other era. Yes, there are a great many truly superb model railroads out there in a variety of scales, but to my way of thinking John still ranks as the master at creating a world in miniature that was both fanciful and entirely plausible at the same time. Everything he did had a purpose that supported and justified his overall theme in a masterful way. I'm old enough to remember his contributions, and I continue to be inspired by his work. He left a legacy that few who were around at the time would--or could--ever forget. <br /> <br />Those who don't have the book about the G&D (published by Kalmbach some years ago) really owe it to themselves to seek out a copy somewhere--not just for the story of the railroad itself, but for what it shows of its creator's philosophy and approach to the hobby.
