A
mong the many joys of model railroading, along with
planning, constructing and operating a model railroad
empire, are the camaraderie and friendships that stem
from this wonderful hobby. Since I began modeling in 2004,
I've met many remarkable people, all of whom I admire not
only for their abilities as modelers, but as uniquely interesting,
skilled, and generous individuals.
Two modelers, in particular, one in HO, the other in O scale, I
now count among my closest friends. Indeed, they've become
like family to me. Both have contributed significantly to my
own development as a modeler. To return the favor, I'd like to
"pay it forward" and introduce them to readers of MRH, begin-
ning with this interview with Jim Ferguson about his Great
Northern Railway.
A world-class layout over two decades in
