The influence of ads...


Of all the ads in Model Railroader I've read over the years, these two from the October 1973 issue stand out as the most influential for spurring my creative imagination at the time in my life that the hobby was going from "playing with trains" to model railraoding.

This PFM ad just screams wall art...

I was surprised to see how little scenery was in this Cox ad, I thought there was much more but then again, ours is a hobby that relies on perception and illusion.
