Thanks a million for the link!!!!!!   When you realize he died so long ago, and almost all of the layout was scratch built - buildings - rolling stock - loco's, and all the materials were "primative" (green sawdust for grass etc.) it's amazing (like the guy on amazing trains says!)  This is one of the best Christmas/train videos I've ever seen!!SmileSmileSmile

It makes you realize that good model railroading never really dies do long as there are pictures and groups to keep the memories alive.

Yes, I got it on an e-mail several days ago from the John Allen Group.  It's amazing, astonishing and really GREAT!   I've viewed it several times and each time I get a nice, warm grin going.

Have you all found the wonderful Christmas card from John Allen with all the pics of the G&D and the old pics of him.? I found it on the G&D yahoo group. I would pass it on to you if someone could tell me it was not infringing on a copyright that group may have. It was wonderful for an old G&D fan. There were more good pics than any place I had see before.

I don't know how to make these active, but I think if you copy and paste you will see more of the G&D than I knew existed. Enjoy.

If you think you have it right, your standards are too low. my photos http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ARTHILL/ Art
