As a Film Noir fan I've watched a few Hollywood movie scenes shot on a funicular railway. Guess I'm just dense, but it took stumbling upon this heartwarming video to make the connection between the Angels Flight and the Downtown Deco hotel model.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Thanks for posting that Peter, I watched it twice. A good way to end a good day.

Thank you for sharing that, Peter.

"When I was eighteen I knew everything, now I'm 81, and I don't know anything"
Boy, isn't that true, that the more we learn about our world, the more we realize how much we don't know. Especially when you're trying to build models of parts of it! Dan
Dave, Brent and Dan,
My pleasure. Like you, I sure enjoyed seeing Mr. Cox's work, along with hearing his views on modeling and how it can be a part of preserving architectural history.
