Looking for a certain wabsite...
Posted by jzmsvm on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 3:50 PM

I am looking for the website of a fellow g-scaler. I have seen it before but had forgotten to bookmark it and for the life of me can not remember who's it was.

What I do remember is that is in California and the railroader is a personal friend of Regis Philbin. On the site there are pix with him on the set.

I know this sounds crazy, but it's impossible to find by googling Regis Philbin garden railroad. Anyone know who I'm talking about?

Thanks for your help!

Sounds like you may be referring to Howard S. aka GURU388.

He hangs out on  www.mylargescale.com

That's exactly the website I was looking for. His layout is amazing. I was trying to describe it to someone and just couldn't do it justice.

Thanks, guys!
