just for s & g, have you looked at it in your local library? I live in a small town and our local public library has a copy of it. It's fascinating reading, and yes, it might be a bit dated, but much of what John did on the layout was scratchbuilt or kitbashed (in the case of his locomotives). He did his own hand-laying and spiking track and he was a stickler for smooth operation. If a car derailed, he wouldn't let the operators just put it back on the track and continue running. He would stop the 'fast clock' and investigate WHY it derailed. <br /> <br />Sadly, much of his layout was destroyed in a fire not long after his death. Nonetheless, the G & D lives on. I envy Andy Sperandeo, Linn Westcott, and the hundreds of other people who got a chance to see this marvelous craftsman's work.
