    The HOn3 layout is based on the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad and the Rio Grande Southern with specific prototype scenes.

    I had a brief association with the club in the early 80’s. Even back then the modeling was superb. They would acquire pictures of the area they wanted to model and try to recreate it to the smallest detail. At that time they had a very realistic and plausible albeit compressed model of the Georgetown Loop among other scenes. The projected layout at the time was very ambitious and never got fully realized. The club was in an upstairs floor in Pasadena and they were forced to dismantle the layout and move. After that I lost track of the club. So glad to see that they are still in existence and the modeling is as wonderful as ever.

    I was a member of the Guild from 1995 until 2020 when I moved back to Texas. I really miss it, thanks for the memories. When I first joined I was working on the HO/HOn3 side, then I gradually moved over to the S/Sn3 side. Early on the Sn3 side needed a lot of plaster work, I think we must have used a ton of plaster on those mountains. Remember this building used to be the old China Factory where they made porcelain figures and they used a LOT of plaster, so we had a lot of bags left over.

    I hope that there will be day that all of this will be expanded on or tell a story of what everything that you see here will tell that story of the past. In an engineering view point of how everything was built. As I would love to help with this, because I know of many things of the past. Love this vid to no end.

    Very enjoyable video with a great looking detailed layout.
    I found it especially interesting as I am modeling a mountain Colorado type road with wide vertical separation of tracks and I enjoy scratch building bridges in HO scale. I believe I have almost 30 bridges scatch-built at this point. Besides loving mountain type scenery, my big inspiration was John Allen.Thanks.

    A job well done to this club! Also a fantastic job on the editing of this video, and personally, I like the "off set" shots as I'm currently building my own layout and seeing how others tie their layouts in with the ceiling, fascia, and lighting, those close up shots are a big help!

    Very nice modeling, mostly stable camera/smooth moves & reasonably good depth of field. Only distraction from realism is shooting "off set" (ceiling/lights/people/fascia at edges of frame). This is not like analog days when you had to allow about 10% on each margin for Overscan. Just tighten the shots a little bit for more realism...
