The Furlow G layout is whimsical, but well done. I kind of liked it. It's not the first whimsical layout featured in MR by any means. Not that long ago, Northlandz was featured, with mixed responses from readers.Interesting? Yes it was, at least to me, even with its' separate loops of track and impossible bridges. Just this year, the new Chicago Museum layout was featured...that enormous steel bridge in the foldout would never have been built by any railroad in such a location, so it was just there for the sheer fun of having it, so it is really whimsy. Many think (especially recently ), that John Allen's masterpiece G & D was a caricature...I think it was the most inspirational layout in history. Many ,many years ago, MR did a feature on a "space-age" moon surface railroad, with futuristic equipment....just for fun. Fun is ok. Really. regards Mike in Meaford.
