In the late 1980s I had the privilege to video tape Lila Martin's exceptional freelance HO railroad. The Sierra & White River Railroad filled a single bedroom with a long mainline making multiple loops on several levels. The scenery was detailed, well done, and complete. This video follows a mixed train, pulled by a three truck Heisler, on one loop around the entire layout. A second freight train is also seen in some shots.
Lila did all the construction herself. Lila's husband was not a modeler.
Sit back and enjoy the S&WRR.
That was a GREAT layout! I have kept that issue of M.R. bookmarked. Is Lila no longer with us? I imagine she would be getting up there... as are we all...
Anyway- Lila- wherever you are- I do love your railroad!

I remember reading of this layout in one of the publications. It is definitely inspired by the Gorre & Daphetid.
