I've always been a fan of Dick Andrews and his writings over the years. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Scranton, PA Narrow Gauge Convention. I watched him sketch up a two foot drawing on the back of a napkin! What fun. Here are a few of his On2 layout plans from over the years. One can definitely see the similarity in thinking and operations. Very interesting, according to the article he built the Waterlog and Crooked River Railway and operated the "roll back" on the 7% grade to get the cars behind the locomotive for the return trip to Waterlog!!
