Jack's layout was amazing Y3a! It was an inspiration for me as a Northern Pacific modeler. In fact, while Jack's layout highlighted Logan, Montana, mine started on it's eastern end with a staging track that was either Logan, Montana; or, western end at Garrison Montana. Jack was a wonderful Tool and Die Maker, having made the molds for many of Revell's Model Railroad Structures. He was responsible for all the tiny details so prolific in Revell's kits!
The October of 1988 issue of Model Railroader Magazine shows a first look at the magazine's Club layout, the Milwaukee Racine and Troy's (MRT) Downtown area of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Union Station area. Generally I am finding page count to be dropping with the magazine at somewhere around 160 to 180 pages. However both the November and December 1988 issues had more than 200 pages.
