Linn was one of the brightest, sensible and considerate people ever in model railroading. He introduced me to the electrical world of model railroading at a Zanesville Ohio NMRA Convention (until 3:15 am). I know today 2 prong plugs from 3 prong and why.
I drove him to Columbus so he could save time getting a train to Chicago . M.R. bought my dinner. I took Linn thru the new realignment and old B & O lines to Newark. Plus the old traction tunnel. He later put that realignment concept in his layout designs. We often chatted at future conventions. The Model Railroader has never been the same since he left.

Of course, "G" scale hadn't appeared yet - that was a province of the live steamer set. Bob Nicholson ____________________________________________ If you notice, the popular scales are roughly half or double the size of the next popular scale. True for 0/H0/N; and also true for S/TT. #1 (1:32) would be the next larger scale in the S/TT system (and Z would be the smaller). #1 track gauge is used for G. When LGB started the large scale trend, they used 1:22.5 because that made the track gauge meter gauge. 1:32 would be correct for standard gauge models on #1 gauge track.
