Flat canvas or 3D canvas, Malcom was interesting. RIP Malcom Furlow.

Even in death Malcomn is still ruffling feathers. I thinks he'd a gotten a big kick out of that
Have fun with your trains

Living the dream.
I really wish I could find the pictures of his Denver & Rio Chama MRR from the photo section of the 1981 Walthers Catalog. Really inspiring stuff. He had the art of mountain railroading down.
To those of us who love beat up steam running across rickety track high in the mountains, Furlow was a big inspiration.
To me he was one of those that defined by example the “art” of model railroading.
Malcom and John Allen were a big influence on myself and most of my train buddies.
RIP Malcom.

Funny you said that, I bought a copy on eBay the day he died. I keep a few of the '70s era Walthers catalogues as references on old kits, but haven't yet come across that one. Maybe I'll dcan and post the pictures, if that's permissible.

"The first transition era - wood to steel!"
Ooh that would be great if allowed. I think it was the 1981 Walthers catalog but might have been 1980. My original got lost in a move or other life event probably when I tried to declutter.
Must've been the '80: the '81 has just the cover and a very few smaller pictures in the interior photo section. It's not a complete section of Furlow's work.
Some nice work by people I remember from that era who were doing really beautiful scenery. They had some pictures of JC Myer's layout. He published a couple of articles about scenery building and one article with a track plan of a terminal yard, and then vanished. I really loved his work as a kid.
I could make a long list of people whose work I wish I had seen more of, but often we've probably seen all that they chose to share.
I found this video on Youtube featuring Malcolm and his layout construction techniques to be interesting.

The June MR has a nice tribute to Malcolm on page 6. Article mentions images and videos on the trains.com website.
