----- Original Message ----- From: bcgsteam Congratulations to the Jacksons on a terrific S layout and to Bob Werre for the nice photos and article in the September Model Railroader . . . . . . . . . . . . . > > > > > > > > > > > > With no intention to distract from anyone's congratulations on this MR article, I might mention that two people used to operate on that layout, the late father Bob Jackson and son Brian. They modelled distinctly different eras, and all we saw in the article was Brian's steam-era trains.
Being partial to modern or contemporary railroading, I was a big fan of Bob's TOFC and double-stack container cars and modern diesels. Fortunately I visited the layout once and have my own pictures of Bob's modern trains. Maybe there's another article in Texas Bob's files that would make us modernistas proud.
