All Hail John Allen!

I like realistic modeling. <br /> <br />You know what? Label me a rivet counter if you want. <br /> <br />I enjoy John Allens work, but he did not make the same impact on the hobby like people like Tony K have and people seem to forget Allen was a realistic operator. Furlow is a joker whos drinking his own kool-aid, and judging from Sam Poseys book, hes pretty close minded when it comes to people who dont like his kind of modeling. Sellios makes real nice buildings and details, but goes overboard on the weathering and sometimes you see a train on his layout, his modeling is like somekind of kafkaese bent on realism. <br /> <br />But people that pinoneered modern trackplanning and operations are the people who should get the credit, not only do they operate and have good trackplans but their scenery is realistic, it looks like the southwest, or the alengheny mountains not some fantasy world.
