I'm in awe of Howard's work but was unaware of his bawdy sense of humor. I had to pause the video while trying to view all of the 'School of Self Gratification" wall art and laughed out loud.

You are right there are not enough words to say about this layout, but the first would be spectacular

Hah! Just noticed the billboard at 0:55 right above the Luck Strike ad that reads “Dr. Jocelyn Elders School of Self-Gratification, Dean Pee-Wee Herman.” 😂Wonder how many of your viewers will recognize either of those names, let alone why they’re hysterical in that context!

Amazing detail!!

Amazing work!

jeje😆I love the sign for the Dr. Elders School!

I have always admired Howard's layout Thanks for sharing

Great layout 👏👍👌😎🎄🦫🎸🎉🇺🇸

Thank you for the additional video. I can remember when he and the layout were featured in Model Railroader. I loved seeing the layout, his detailing, etc. Plus, he was running quite a few Western Maryland steam engines. (I love the WM, C&O, etc...) Thanks again for sharing!

Nice video Al! I knew where all those structures were located as I should since I have been visiting or working on Howard's layout since the early 90's.

Wow! Lots of nice structures

Howard's layout ranks with George Sellios's Franklin and South Manchester.

That first model is made by Supply Line Models and it does bring a good price, lately its been down and I got mine for about $160 a couple of months ago. I think its called Union bank and trust, I could be wrong on the name though. @1:39 that is victoria falls hotel kit by Magnuson. @2:14 the big brown building is several, looks like 5 maybe, City Classics bashed together into a big building and it looks to have another City classics on top of it. So many kitbashes that blend well with the scratch builds, just jaw dropping. Cheers Rob

Thanks for the additional footage. Totally amazing. How is Howard doing?

A slew of Divcos Wonder what all of them were delivering?
