QUOTE: Originally posted by jwieczorek I think Malcom Furlow's efforts are just as good as Allen's. I find it ironic that Furlow's last "layout", a whimsical south of the border pike was heavily ridiculed, while the G&D is put on a pedestal. Not to take anything away from the G&D or JA, but let's not be so hard on Malcom for doing the whimsy thing.

QUOTE: John Allen moved model railroading forward where Furlow does not. The state of the art now is how well you can model the prototype. Furlow clearly does not fit that mold.

Furlow clearly does not fit that mold. Oooof! And does scenery not count?????? I think he's certainly a talented modeler by any measure, and if you don't think he helped advance the hobby, you should look at some of his old how-to articles. Modeling the prototype means modeling scenery, and he definitely moved the hobby forward in that regard. If he didn't model the prototype, it was because he didn't want to, not because he couldn't.
