Allen McClelland and His Virginian & Ohio - By Tony Koester
(Softcover, 112 Pages)
Allen McClelland and His Virginian & Ohio from Kalmbach is a look at how one modeler made a profound impact on model railroading, and his Virginian & Ohio became one of the hobbys best-known layouts of all time. Allen pioneered many concepts that later became standards in layout design. The late Allen McClelland encouraged modelers to look at their layouts not as stand-alone entities, but as links in the North American rail system - looking beyond the basement. Take a look at Allens HO scale Virginian & Ohio layout, one of the best-known layouts of all time. This inspirational layout pioneered many concepts that later became standards in layout design.
Allen became well-known not just for his V&Os realistic scenery, setting, and theme, but for showing us how to:
- Use walkaround command control to take advantage of linear track plans
- Choose a railroad name and theme that reflect prototype regions and railroads
- Adopt operating procedures based on prototype practices
Find inspiration in how the Virginian & Ohio was conceived and developed, and get ideas for applying the same concepts to your own layout! Get this historical book on the late Allen McClelland and how his influence helped bring model railroading to where it is today.
