He is doing well. Goggle him to see his work. I am building my version of the San Juan Central. I have communicated with Malcolm about details on how he built it. He is a great guy. Still willing to give advice.

I really liked Malcom's vision and way of doing things.  I had and really likes his book "Narrow Gage RR you can build"!

For a while, wasn't he buiding Model Railroads for people.

Thanks Randy!  I really enjoyed the MR article and the Kalmbach video from the early 80s featuring his San Juan Central.  Appreciate the information.

 A few years ago there was an article with a very whimsical mini-layout/diorama he built, but I think he is more focused on his painting these days.
