My favorite OGR article was the "Edgerton Parks Four Great Lionel Layouts", on the Police Academy League community model train layout for improving relations ships between the police and kids in Rochester, NY. starting in the 1950s. The layout was operated by local kids and police officers.

Fred Dole did a great job on this article in the OGR October 1989 issue and I keep rereading and enjoying it. It shows how model trains as a hobby can keep kids off the street and enjoy this great hobby with the help of a community and improve relations with police officers.

I also loved that this exhibit was four separate layouts, with a layout for each of the four seasons of the year.

Here is a OGR forum link to my post on the " Edgerton Parks Four Great Lionel Layouts" as featured in OGR Magazine Run 107 Oct 1989 and CTT June 1991 and Aug 1991 issues. Link include links to youtube videos on the layout.

Here is a link to Edgertons railroad club web site.
