Wondering if this is the same Mr. Battaglia who lives (or used to) in Buffalo NY that formerly had a wonderful 'attic' layout which was the subject of not one, but two articles in OGR (I think?) magazine in the 1990s.  The first was BEFORE a house fire basically destroyed the original layout and the second was after the layout was rebuilt/restored and 'rose from the ashes'.  ? ? ?

PS - I had the good fortune to visit the attic layout (by tagging along with a friend) once and believe me, seeing everything in person was phenomenal.

PH1975,

I believe I know who you are speaking of and I'm not sure if it's the same person but I could be wrong. I faintly remember seeing a story about this and I believe most of his structures and buildings were scratch built. I remember him saying that everything in his house was destroyed but most of  his trains survived.

This IS the same Frank B. , whose original layout was destroyed in a house fire.  I had the pleasure of visiting this new layout many years ago, with several train buddies from “3rd St. Depot “.  The layout was not as finished as it looks in this layout, and the owner, Frank B., was a very gracious host.
