Model Railroading is Fun to qoute the onetime slogan that Model Railroader used on the cover of it's popular hobby magazine. Mel, your NYT&B certainly lives up to the slogan 100 in Century 21!
You mention above that an earlier artical about your railroad was published in OGT 304, but wait, the NYT&B was also featured in OGT 214 as well! Combined with the two additional "installments" on the NYT&B, this is in effect, a Triple Treet to say the least!
But hey, there's more, more or less? Run 204 features yet another layout that's roots are in planted deep in old New England as well. Modeler Stu Gralnik's layout, based on the New England town of Thompsonville, follows your artical. That makes a total of 12 pages of New England charm, and gads, there's even another treet as well!...
...Rich Melvin, former OGR CEO, and author of his new book, "765! A 21st Century Survivor" tells the story where he renews old friendships with NKP #765 and retired NKP locomotive engineer John Tomhafe in an artical title simply "Old Friends".
With most of us staying indoors and close to the fireplace, O Gauge Railroading has become a close companion when not running, building, or cleaning one's layout. Not to forget the Armchair Model Railroaders either. We may not have a layout at the moment, but that doesn't keep us from dreaming and planning one, or reaping the Golden Harvest with our Digital Subscription where we have access to EACH & EVERY issue of OGR from Run Number One, for gosh sakes. WOW!
Thanks Mel, for sharing your layouts with OGR members, and thanks too to O Gauge Railroading for publishing them, so we can share your enthusiasm with you as well!
