Yo guys, <br /> <br />the John Allens are in narrow guage....Jim Vail, Dave Adams, Ken Ehlers, Harry Brunk, Boone Morrison, Bob Brown, etc..... the list is huge. There is very little RTR in Narrow guage and very few kits at that, I would also add Jack Burgess, Rand Hood, George Sellios and countless others in standard gauge. <br /> <br />Allen had a huge advantage in that he was independently wealthy the last few decades of his life and devoted most of his time to the railroad....Few of these guys have that luxury. He also was a professional photographer so his work was well documented and very well presented. Thus his influendce was /is huge. He is one of the reasons I am a model railroader. <br /> <br />BTW: He might have actually finished the GD if he hadn't insisted on scratchbuilding everything......I guess we can all take solace in the fact that one of the greatest never finished his layout......
