Frank Ellison was my inspiration for creating what I believe to be the most realistic looking model railroad of his era and perhaps of all time. As a scratch builder , over a 15 year period recreated the Delta Lines layout going by Franks articles in Model Builder Magazines. Part of his legacy was his writings and while the original layout was mostly destroyed in a truck accident while being moved from New Orleans, the layout lives on in my basement here in NJ.
Note these are old photos. More detail has been added. Will try to update later today.
