The Carrabasset & Dead River was one of my favorite model railroad and articles about it appeared fairly regularly when he worked for Kalmbach. However we haven’t heard much since he moved to NM. I did hear he was working on a new C&DR in On30, which given what he created in HO, would be a visual delight. Does anyone know if he’s still working and if anything will be published on it?
Likewise, we see an occasional indication of Lou Sassi’s move to On30 like in the Oct MR. Given what we’ve seen so far, would love to see more of his new layout.
Bob’s still active, his email is listed on his website. He was on the Scotty Mason show a couple of years ago and mentioned having a building brought in for his new railroad. Shoot him an email!
At the time of it’s being current, the CD&R was my favorite layout. It was the base that David Frary used to demonstrate some of his scenery building techniques (at least in the first edition of his book).
