Thoroughly enjoyed this. Both Miller and Ellison are artisans in the true sense of the word. Thanks for sharing this.
Incredible craftsmanship and imagination. Realism at its finest. Thank You !
The interview footage of William Harry and his color images of Delta Lines are priceless history. Thank you for sharing these. Frank Miller's track work looks amazing and you can see how smooth it is when the trains run. The Delta Lines boxcar is a nice touch. I also note the B&O-style I-5 class type caboose and wonder if that's a Quality Craft model? I was only able to recognize Donaldson and the wye connecting to Chapelle.
Wonderful. I liked how one train would exit a scene as another appeared as Mr Ellison had written about. Both old and new layouts shown. This was an experience.
This O gauge railroading the video was part of a vhs recording I had years ago. It would've been lost, but now it's back.
wow great video
Is Frank Miller still with us? And what of the Cascade Valley?
Great vidio
Wow!
Love it, thanks for posting. I really enjoyed the music used after the VoiceOver ends, if available could you please post that credit?
I edited this video many years ago, on an old editing system that was retired and replaced in the 90s. I don’t remember what the music is. RUclips didn’t flag it for any copyright issues, so I can’t learn anything there either. Sorry.

It's a song called Undaunted by the Network Music Ensamble, now called Universal Production Music. Rich Melvin used much of their music for OGR, as well as Tom McComas for some of his train shows at TM Books and Video. I'm in the process of creating my own series of model and toy train films using some music from Universal Production Music as I am a huge fan of McComas' and Melvin's work.

@@wordenentertainment1997 Wow! I am impressed! Nikolas, you’ve got a great memory. Thanks very much for providing this information.
You are absolutely correct about the Network Music Library. I used it for dozens of my corporate clients in that era. Back then, it was a set of 300 CD discs. I had a Sony CD player that held all 300 discs. I could dial up the disc number and preview a cut of music for use in various videos I produced then. This was long before digital audio and editing in a computer. This video was edited on 1” tape using a CMX 3400 editor.

You are very welcome Rich and thank you for your comment and the work you and the OGR magazine crew do. I'd like to get in touch with you on tips or suggestions for my model train productions I'm planning to do if that is alright with you? My goal is to help expose the hobby more to a wider audience. Best wishes to fellow O gauge railroader. - Nikolas Worden
@@wordenentertainment1997 Thank you.
Nice video! Was the Cascade Valley ever featured in the magazine? If so, which issue?
Frank's layout was in the December 1989 issue of O Gauge Railroading magazine, Run 108. Printed copies of that magazine are long gone, however you can download a digital edition here: simplecirc.com/o-gauge-railroading-print/item/1420/ogr-dec-1989

Anyone know what happened to the layout after Frank Passed away?
The railroad was gone before he passed (about 1956). He sold it and it was unfortunately destroyed as the truck that was carrying the disassembled layout crashed. There are some surviving items.
@@thatmodellingbloke OMG that is a horrible fate for such a beautiful layout....
O scale two track layouts are so close to prototypes, I could be fooled what is real and what is a model.
