[quote user="Autobus Prime"]Folks:Not to interrupt the Pelle lovefest...but after reading the magazine, I want to point out a few things.2.  His "minimal detail" approach seems to work well for California.  I think a person would run into a lot of trouble trying to use it for the East.  We have lots of plants and things, and tires and shopping carts.[/quote]Everyone will soon be in for a surprise concerning Pelle's creativity, not only in western design, but in layout for houses and trees seen in the eastern part of the USA.  Remember his designs are his imagination not copies of a particular scene.  This is not "In Praise of Pelle Soeborg" but a realistic view of a man who uses his talent of railroad modeling and shares it with the world.  I personally did not like Armstrongs work but for the time he created his masterpiece he was a genius.  My opinion does not make him a bad modeler.  If the challenge was put forth for Pelle to compete against the best of the best ... hummmm?  He has told me many times about the great modelers he admires and has never said I'm better than this one or that one.  You really need to sit down with him and see his layout in front of you to understand the man.
