In March I posted about the TrainMasters TV visit to Jim's layout:<br />http://themodelrailwayshow.com/LayoutDesign/?p=3437<br />Chris - thanks for the post on Jim's layout. It's always enjoyable to see, and I'm sure Jim is pleased that so many people have been influenced by his work.<br />Cheers!<br />- Trevor (Port Rowan in 1:64)<br />Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860331796911162859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376057412116187041.post-32497296509118987682015-11-30T08:28:06.477-08:002015-11-30T08:28:06.477-08:00Chris - Very nicely written...

I think most all of us who have visited come away feeling the same way about Jim's dedication to the prototype and his skills depicting time and place... my feature on the B&M @ http://oldmainline.blogspot.com continues to be the most popular post ever... but hands off of the layout...
