It's interesting to see how things have evolved over the years. Certainly we now have techniques that the big names never enjoyed - you can now buy a relatively inexpensive loco that will run as well (and be as well detailed) as the top of the line brass of their era. I'm not too familiar with John Allen's work but I have been following with interest a series of articles on the Pendon Museum - this layout occupies much the same position for UK modellers as the G&D does for the US, with the difference that Pendon is still operational. What shows more than anything else is that while the builders were very skilled individuals, they were constrained by the technical options available to them. The models they built are now equalled by RTR equipment in terms of fine detail work and running qualities. It has become easier to create a great model I would argue, which surely must be a good thing.
