Video of Tony Koester's layouts?

Model Railroader Layouts and layout building
1

I have many of Tony’s books, and was curious if there are any videos, or perhaps youtube of Tony’s layout, either the old Allegheny Midland or his latest one.

Thanks,

David

Allen Keller featured the Allegheny Midland in Vol 14 of Great Model Railroads. The video is still available new, on close out for $15.00 Go to www.allenkeller.com

Based on the multiple photos taken all around his Nickel Plate layout in his book on multideck layouts (published in 2008), yes.

And this is his second large layout, of course, he completed the earlier Allegheny Midland layout before dismantling it to build the Nickel Plate.

What’s your point? Besides gratuitous snarkery, that is …

i must have missed most of the finished photos of his work since i quite buying MR and most of their products around the time it became a monthly walthers catalog. i was already getting one for free in the mail.

tony does fine work, it is just that like so many others, i don’t write articles and that leaves poor tony with a big load to carry since his works and walthers products have, for the most part, become most if not all of MR.

Hello grizlump9,

Being that I’m a newbie (and 52 at that), and interested in getting ideas from the best of them, perhaps you have youtube videos or any DVD’s of your layout that might help me. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Ten articles in the last 60 issues is most? If we assume six articles an issue that’s all of 2.7%.
