Ed h's link works. (Thanks, Ed!)

 

What a terrific article, and great pictures, to boot! Congratulations to Alan and LaKeeta! The author actually wrote one of the better articles I have seen regarding a layout. I will bet it will stimulate a lot of interest in the hobby and your group!

Beautiful article and a beautiful layout, I really enjoyed it. Congratulations to Alan and Lakeeta, I'm honored to be friends with them. Someday I will make my way to visit Alan and Lakeeta to see this awesome layout.

 

 

Thanks Alex

Alan,

 

Congratulations!

Great job by everyone involved in creating this article.

Thanks Brian for the recognition...and thanks to the rest of you guys for the nice comments.  The Living Well magazine is a publication that is regional in nature and is published throughout the country.  Depending on where you live, the issue will have a local flavor.  I was so surprised when I was approached in October by the features Editor and the award winning USA Today photographer to do the story.  I was equally surprised by their ability to put it together so quickly.  I and my wife are very honored...

 

Thanks,

Alan

I read the article and it is a great tribute to a great couple. Alan, I hope you are feeling better.

Alan congratulations, a great article and great shots of the RR.

Very cool.  Congratulations Alan!  Now I see those big windows where your light shines in for your great photos!

Thanks guys!!  Jeff....the lens which was used makes the windows look a little strange but those windows, which stretch for 40 feet,  face east and give me nice even light throughout the day.  In the morning, the filtered sun shines through and provides some dramatic lighting.

I am one of the privileged ones to have seen Alan's fabulous layout first hand. But what is even better is the wonderful friendships Alan and his lovely wife Lakeeta have made with many of us who have gotten to know them well. They are terrific ambassadors to the hobby of O-Gauge trains.

 

Well done my good friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alan,

 

A great article, a wondeful photo of the home, and a magnificent layout.  Your artistry leaves me speechless with delight.  Keep up the great work.

Again thanks to all of you!!

 

Brian....you know that there are only a few people one meets in life that become close like brothers....  That is exactly what happened between us....but you make it so easy that I would be willing to bet you have a very large family!!.

 

Alan

Great Article. Congratulations!

Congratulations on the article, Alan.  You and your wife have a beautiful layout.

Alan:

 

 Not really, just a twin brother.

Congratulations Alan!

The room and layout look like a great place to be!

 

I also had a TWA plane once, brings back memories.

The best thing to come out of Arkansas since the Razorbacks!

Alan, job well done.  Your layout is one of best ones Rose and I have seen, and we have seen a lot of layouts over the years.

 

For those of you who have not seen this master piece, Alan and Lakeeta are great cooks as well.

 Thanks for sharing.

Living Well could not have picked a better couple to bring their theme to life than Alan and LaKeeta Arnold.  They have a totally unique home and a stunning layout. While Alan's layout has a number of impressive features (granary, refinery, turntable, roundhouse, station, train shed, bridge, monorail) his cityscape featuring large skyscrapers is exceptional. Many of us have had the opportuniy to visit Alan and LaKeeta, an opportunity that is not to be missed when Alan extends an invitation as he frequently does. Alan and LaKeeta will be gracious hosts and wonderful friends.

Alan,  Fabulous layout and city scenes.  Thanks for sharing.  

 

I was inspired to purchase a Disney station for my own layout from one of your earlier forum posts.  Now I need to build some skyscrapers for my city after seeing this article.

 

I hope that you will consider writing an OGR article about your layout and perhaps an OGR video someday.

 

I was also wondering where do you keep all of your empty train boxes?

 

Happy Holidays,  Joe

 

Congratulations Alan on a wonderful article about your beautiful layout!  Well done!  Bo

Congratulations, Alan, on a very nice article.  While I've seen many of your photos here on the Forum, it's especially interesting to see some shots offering a large, panaoramic view.  Makes it all the more impressive.

 

Interesting personal note...just as I turned to page 8 and looked at the photo of the large cityscape, with the subway trains in the foreground, Billy Joel's New York State of Mind came over the sound system!  Purely coincidental, but hearing those opening piano notes while looking at subways and skyscrapers made for a great moment!

Wow! Great Layout! I too never saw a complete picture of it. Congratulations Alan on the very nice article and pictures in that magazine. The whole layout looks great but I especially like that grain elevator. And thanks for always sharing your ideas and progress on your layout here on the forum.

 

WOW....You all have really been so wonderful with your lovely comments.  I am humbled just to be part of this group that is made up of great folks like all of you.  You have touched our hearts and we will be forever grateful.....

 

Alan

Nice to hear Alan, we are proud to be part of your layout.  Some really nice work!

Jack....a thanks goes to you for the great idea for a parking garage.  As you know, I used that idea and then used a Korber Power station kit to build it just like yours...

 

Thanks,

Alan
