My favorite OGR article was the Edgerton Park Train Exhibit about the Police Academy League community model train layout for improving relations ships between the police and kids in Rochester, NY. starting in the 1950s.
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 layouts, with a separate layout for each of the four seasons.

That was run #107. It is my favorite issue too (so far, I only subscribed last month but I have already purchased many years' worth of back issues) because my father was the Edgerton Club's secretary at the time. He joined to become more involved with me in the hobby. I am only now revisiting my O-gauge roots.
