I think Mr. Furlow's work is beautiful. I almost built the San Juan Central (from the book). My problem with Mr. Furlow is his presence (or lack therof) in the hobby in the last 10 years or so. It seems like Mr. Furlow finds something, goes crazy with it, then moves onto something else. He seemed to go from modeling southwestern railroads, then suddenly disappeared. Then, he was (still is?) an artist - painting native american themes... selling paintings for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. I felt like he used model railroading to further a career in something else... Then, he just moved on. That may not be the case, but it's sure how I feel. I really enjoyed his work back in his MR heyday. I didn't mind the goofiness in the videos, or in his articles. I felt (and still feel) he had real talent. I felt like, but buying the books and reading the articles, I supported that... then he just disappeared. It may sound silly, it may sound stupid, but it's just the impression I got. He used us to build a name, then moved on. Rob
