ON THE COVER:
Mike Hampton has created a masterpiece of an O gauge layout in a small space. The scene on our cover, for example, occupies a space less than two feet square! Mike has been able to give the scene a feeling of depth by careful placement of the various accessories and scenery details. Cutting Plasticville structures in half has enabled him to fit buildings in a space where the complete structures would be too large. The NW-2 switcher, a repainted postwar Lionel engine, is emerging from a tunnel under a stone viaduct that carries the layout's upper level tracks. This viaduct creates one boundary of this scene; the other boundaries are made by the steep rock and tree rise in the background. The main highway in front of the gas station enters a tunnel in this cliff just to the left of the diner. Mike Hampton excellently proves that a small layout does not have to be boring. Turn to page 77 for our complete coverage of this exciting layout. OGR Design Editor Fred M. Dole took our cover photo.

ON THE COVER:
In his first attempt at building an O gauge layout, Harry Sklar has created a beauty! Mixing traditional tinplate accessories, trains, and tracks, the main part of this large layout would please any hobbyist who loves the excitement of 1950's vintage trains. The newest part of the layout, separated from the original tinplate layout by the basement stairs, is more scale in appearance and would be appreciated by contemporary scale 3-Rail modelers. It isn't always easy to blend the two types of layouts together, but Harry has done it, and done it well. The Rio Grande Alco PA and the Rico station shown on the cover are both by Lionel. Turn to page 64 for the complete story of the Bridge Creek Railroad. OGR Design Editor Fred M. Dole took our cover photo.

ON THE COVER:
Les Lewis is one of those multitalented O gauge modelers we all love to hate: he can do anything and do it well! From building trolley cars to buildings; from wiring to benchwork; from making people to detailing interiors; you name it, Les does it - and he does it well. Our cover photo, taken on Les's traction layout, is just a hint of what you'll see when you turn to page 50. This busy street corner in downtown New Haven is at the heart of the layout. It is here that the "Grand Union" is located, eight tracks coming together in an amazing mesh of track that enable a trolley coming into the intersection to leave it any one of three directions. See the centerspread photo on pages 52 and 53 for an overhead view of this complex track configuration. Just as amazing as the Grand Union are the buildings; they're all scratchbuilt and most of them feature completely detailed interiors. If that isn't enough, Les's current project is a model of New Haven's Yale University. He's carving each stone in the building by hand! See what we mean: Les Lewis is a person we love to hate because we wish we had his marvelous modeling ability. Turn to page 50 to see this layout in all its splendor. OGR

ON THE COVER:
Even after seeing Brooke Evans' O scale circus and even after studying the photos, it is still hard to believe: there are nearly 10,000 hand-painted O scale people in attendance. And, even more amazing, is that over 8,000 of them are sitting on their own folding chairs that really fold! Brooke Evans has created an O scale Big Top that is without equal anywhere else. But even though the circus is the centerpiece of Brooke's display, it's not all there is to it, for this is also a well-done and smooth operating O scale model railroad empire that fills a 30'x 56' space on the third floor of Brooke's home. Turn to page 47 for our complete coverage of this outstanding O scale circus and train layout. OGR

ON THE COVER:
Those who think that modular layouts are boring haven't seen the Connecticut Southeastern Railway System's O scale modular layout or the 3-Rail O gauge modular layout built by the Connecticut Society of Ferroequinologists that we're featuring in this issue of OGR. Many of the modular layouts seen at shows and malls are little more than huge loops of tracks with minimal scenery and detailing. But, as these two modular pikes show, it doesn't have to be that way. And, to take it one step further, if you're short of space for a layout, have you ever considered going modular? A layout doesn't have to be 20'x 40' to offer lots of operating fun. These two modular layouts - and the third one featured in this issue, a 3-Rail version of John Allen's "Timesaver" - are designed for lots of interesting switching action. Our cover photo of the Connecticut Southeastern layout features a beautiful Red Caboose GP9 in attractive Connecticut Southeastern colors that was assembled and painted by Jim Weitlauf. Our stories on modular layouts begin on page 47. OGR Design Editor Fred M. Dole took our cover photo.

ON THE COVER:
Bill Flickinger's "Lakeland Central" is a beautifully done 3-Rail pike that depicts the western New York area where Bill grew up. Helped by three friends, Bill has created a layout that looks good and runs great. Long freight or passenger consists are the norm on this railroad that is designed so that as a train pulls into the huge passenger station or freight yard, another pulls out onto the mainline. There are also many possibilities for switching operations but Bill prefers to watch the long trains running through the pike's nicely sceniced countryside. Some of the buildings shown in our cover photo were made from kits, but the majority were either kitbashed or scratch built by Dave Birmingham. Many feature detailed interiors. Bill has a love for 1:43 scale automobiles that matches his love for trains and thus it is that this layout has streets crowded with some of the best model automobilies and trucks available. The locomotive coming into town is a Right-Of-Way Berkshire. To see Bill's layout in operation, see the Spring 1996 issue of OGR THE VIDEO. We also used Bill's layout as the background pike for OGR 's instructional video on Lionel's Train Master Control System. Our complete coverage of the Lakeland Central begins on page 50. OGR
