[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dknelson Ellison's multi-part Art of Model Railroading was reprinted in I think various issues of 1965 MR. It has numerous photos of the layout. From time to time letters to MR would mention that the layout had been preserved, but stored, then damaged, then sold ... then silence. Dave Nelson [/quote] Thanks for the info, Dave; "Art of Model Railroading" ran from August '64 to January '65 in 6 installments. I still have to get those. In researching his articles, I found it interesting that he 'went over' to RMC in '52 and '53, and didn't return to MR until '55. You're right about they layout. Apparently, Frank (in poor health) moved in with his daughter. The layout was dismantled by the operating group, and ostensibly stored in a shed until its sale, and ultimately, its demise. Don't you agree that it's time to 'rattle the underbrush' to see what we can find out about all this?
