While leafing my way through the May Model Railroader I was surprised to see
a layout with the look and feel of the 'burgh.  It is a switching layout
modeled after the Pennsy Whitehall Branch by an English gentleman, John
Wright.  He did a great job on the little layout, it gave me a homey
feeling.

What didn't surprise me though was that one "Derek Brashear" sent him a
series of present-day photographs of the area that he used as a basis for
structures.  Anyone we know Derrick?  Thanks.  All he needs now are some of
those backdrops of South Side houses growing up the hill that are available.
