This is a wonderful video. ❤ I started reading MR in 1985, at age 13, and Bruce's C/MRI series was awe inspiring despite being light-years beyond my capabilities at the time. My copy of the "green book" is heavily dog-eared, but I still consider it an essential tool as I design my first basement size layout. Thank you, Bruce, for the decades of inspiration.
When the Model railroader came out to NZ with the sunset Valley railroad I copied the layout then into my shed that was 18 ft by 25 feet In Ho it was a work that took me seven years so when I married in 1985 I had to dismantle the railroad and now I model in N scale but not the sunset railroad I now model the Santa Cruze railroad.
My Dad had the Model Railroader Video Layout Tours on VHS tapes where Bruce's layout was featured (with the big turntable). I think my dad gave the tapes to the local railroad museum (Sveriges Järnvägsmuseum) that has an active modeling club.
Helllo Bruce, I just picked up your book, "How to Operate a Model RR" and I am really looking forward to reading it. Any other recommendation on how to best learn operations? Thanks for sharing your layout on RU-vid.
So glad I found this video. I remember SV from ca 1978 Model Railroader or RMC and always wonder what happened. Hard to find until I randomly found the name Chubb to aid in my google searches. Odd memory... Werent there some E3 or E6 in an orange paint scheme?
