GREAT MODEL RAILROADSTM
VOL. 15
The Yosemite Valley of Jack Burgess is as close as you can get to having a time machine that will transport you back to August of 1939. Jack is a stickler for historical accuracy not only as it relates to railroad equipment, but to life in general. Everything on this multi-level HO layoutthe signs, the structures, the people and the automobilesis stamped with authenticity.
Being this accurate requires extensive research into the railroad and the era. With this detailed knowledge, his structures and rolling stock are scratchbuilt to exact dimensions. The YV duplicates the passenger, logging and mining operations that made the railroad possible.
Jack will show you little-known sources of prototype information that you can apply to your own railroad. The California Golden Hills are Jack's specialty and he'll show you how he gets the right look for his scenery. Contest winning models grace the layout, and this master will share some of his prized models with you.
The Yosemite Valley is a Great Model Railroad because of Jack's unswerving devotion to accuracy and to high modeling standards. Both Jack and his wife, Jacque, enjoy sharing the YV and the fun they have modeling a prototype railroad.

GREAT MODEL RAILROADSTM
VOL. 28
John Armstrong's Canandaigua Southern is one of the most famous 0 scale model railroads ever built. The CS has been under construction since 1950 and belongs to the hobby's premier trackplanning expert. Many of John's ideas were first tested in theory and practice on this layout, such as walking with your train and only allowing a train to pass through a scene in one direction.
The Canandaigua Southern has inspired many modelers to build layouts even though John has not finished his layout. As an engineer, John believes in research & development, but once he's figured out how to make or do something, the challenge is gone. He says he has never really finished any project. Of course he explains this with a wink and his gentle sense of humor.
John will show you his famous vertical turnout, layout lighting techniques, modifications to cars for coupling on curves, and how to mount locomotive bodies.
His structures are highly detailed but few in number. His mammoth scratchbuilt locomotives are impressive especially since he built them more than 50 years ago, when there were few parts other than motors. John has contributed to the hobby for more than 60 years by writing 4 trackplanning books and over 100 articles. And he offers some unexpected thoughts on the good and bad hobby developments over the years.
The CS is a Great Model Railroad because John has used it to continually improve and refine his trackplan ideas and create some distinctive gadgets.
