Hello All,
Well I decided to concentrate on building a layout to run my early HO pieces, like they deserve to be. While researching George D Stock one of the HO Pioneers, I came across the N&W Exhibit he helped to build. Awesome layout, but I do not have enough space yet to attempt to replicate it. I did however find out about another layout he designed called the "Diminutive & Obstinate"
Apparently it was featured in MR April 1934 issue. I don't have any other information than that. I am looking for more information such as, size, plans, etc... I am hoping it is a smaller size that I can manage to replicate. Anyone out there have any leads?
Thanks,
Dave

Is that the same George Stock that made sand-cast-brass GG1's around 1940? I'm afraid I haven't any information on his track plans, and neither does Model Railroader 1939-40. But when you find anything, I may be interested in building an all-vintage layout as well!

Yup, that's the same George Stock. I would love to have one of his GG1s!
This is all that I could find on that layout of his:
