QUOTE: Originally posted by ttrigg I'm sure that name will ring a bell or two amoung a few of the "older gents" of Model Railroads. I was out digging through some boxes in the garage, took a break and opened up an old footlocker that I had packed away with all of the HO stuff years ago. To my supprise I found stuff that I did not remember until I opend the boxes. In the early 80's Roundhouse came out with a commemerative edition series of the full set of John Allen's Gorre & Daphetid. Most of the cars are fully assembleg, some have as yet to have the parts bags opened. Does anyone know of a webpage on John's old layout? Rene Here is a pic you cane share with someone in your office.
Have fun with your trains
Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?
Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

The cover is missing, the pages are ragged, but I have memorized every word in it during the last 24 years. John Allen changed the model RR world, nothing less. The youngsters need to get a grip on that pivotal piece of history, pull up their pants and get rid of those stupid beer can mufflers on their roller-skate cars. I guess you can't put a price on that. Thanks for sharing your memories, Tom. [oX)]
