[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dabitsch In 2002 I attended the Tracks in the Sand 2002 NMRA convention in Ft. Lauderdale. The layout tour that I went on visited an O-scale layout that displayed a large station. The layout's owner told us that this station was built by Frank Ellison and was on his Delta Lines. I'm afraid I don't know who the layout owner is, but I'm sure if you contact someone on the 2002 NMRA convention committee through the NMRA, you might be able to track it down. I place Frank Ellison and his Delta Lines in the Model Railroader's Hall of Fame along side John Allen and the Gorre & Daphetid. Frank, I believe, started the concept of operating trains in a realistic fashion to serve industries like a real railroad. This was back in the 1940s according to the articles in Model Builder -- long before John Allen's time. Dale B. [/quote] Thanks for this lead, Dale! I'm hoping someone can contact John Armstrong, a longtime friend of Ellison's, at the 2004 convention!
