It is very inspiring in that less is certainly more. Last Sunday, Trevor drove Chris and I down to a memorial to a great modeller, Rich Chrylser, who just passed away. On the way, I brought up the difficulties in modelling Park Head with is large wye. Actually any wye takes up a lot of space, especially ig the minimum radius is 50". I mentionned Inglewood and all agreed it would be a great place. Already, Trevor has generously provided me with information sources and has offered to help plan and build a layout. Didn't have to think twice about that one. He just had an article published in the CN Lines Newsletter about how to model Port Rowen in S scale. It graciously lists the local manufacturers and friends who helped him decide to go to S. Trevor is a great guy and a great modeller. cheers, andy malette
