Rusty, A sad note! This layout was one of my favorite subjects in Model
Railroader magazine (printed copy with a color centerspread, no less!) The
sidebar with Henry Sprague and his animation and scratchbuilt big boy on the
turntable was studied over and over. I had always wished I could've seen it in
person. I hope someone took movies and/or vidoes to save it for posterity. What
became of the rest of Henry's equipment?
