Revisiting David Vaughn's 2-Rail O Scale Nickel Plate Layout
Another visit to my friend David Vaughn's incredible 2-rail O scale Nickel Plate Layout. David models the NKP at the end of steam operations in May of 1958. David's layout features sections of the former layouts of John Armstrong (the "dean of track planning"), Ed Rappe, and Ted Stepik. We ran multiple trains, operated by David, myself, and my son.
I apologize for the occasional shaky video. I was running the train and filming at the same time.

    Less than 30 years after this film was made it was all gone. Unbelievable. My grandfather was the yardmaster on the "Willy Murphy" in Cumberland throughout WW-II, retired in 1959 but lived to see it all disappear. The stories he told about his war time service, whew. He said they could get a couple trains in from the east, break them up and put together a train headed to Baltimore and have it out of the yard on its way east in 15 minutes. No computers, no automation, no nothing, just people dedicated to doing their jobs as well as possible. 14 hours a day, 7 days a week during the war years took a toll on his health. But his story was like so many others from that time, such as the incredible statistics like the Ford Rouge plant producing a new B-25 bomber at peak of production every _ten minutes_. What we have lost...

Thankfully I was born in an era, 1962, when hard work and responsibilities were still practiced, instilled into me by my Parents and people like your Grandfather, they are the people I most appreciate, all hard working Americans, proud of their Country, pride in their jobs. Completely opposite of the self centered, lazy, welfare recipients of today!
