Hi Guys:

Howard does have one of the finest RR's in the country. Been there many times and I really love it. Thanks for the photos Tom.

Karl,

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, it is one of the finest I've visited. I've been to Howard's about ten times and never get tired of seeing it.

I have a favorite top three. Howard Zane's, George Sellios and Cliff Powers. All are fantastic and yet each one is very unique as to the builder's talents.

I do realized there are several I haven't scene so the top three could easily change. However, the F&SM will always be the top one for me.

Karl,

Here's a photo tour I did of Cliff's wonderful layout. Also, note Cliff is a very private person and I considered myself extremely fortunate to be allowed to visit the Magnolia Route.

I'm bumping this one as I still have about 150+ pictures to add to the thread.

I plan on showing most of the remaining pictures of Howard's layout. I've been there about a dozen times and each time have taken 350+ pictures.

Howard has changed his lighting over the years but I never changed my photographic skills. You will see some variations of color in some of the pictures. When Howard only had the bright flood lights on most of the pictures came out some what yellow. I tried to clean them for viewing the best I could.

I've tried not to show any duplicates but maybe a few got through. Many pictures are of the same structure but a slightly different angle.

Howard also has some risque signs. I personally love his sense of humor and I only wish I thought of many of the themes his signs show.

Enjoy.
