John Allen’s Gorre & Daphetid 36 Mins #SRP-G&D $34.95 Richard Reynolds and Glenn Beier each committed the famous Gorre and Daphetid (Gory and Defeated) to motion picture film: Reynolds covered the original layout in Monterey, California and Beier the culmination of Allen’s brilliant model building career, the final Gorre, in his second home. Both used everything from extreme close-ups of running gear to sweeping vistas of his mountain ranges to capture John Allen’s extraordinary talent. Two weeks after his death in 1972, fire destroyed John Allen’s model railroading masterpiece - a project to which he had devoted almost his entire life. It was believed that only Allen’s slides had survived the fire and that the films had been turned to ashes. Thanks to the recent discovery of the films, this tape offers you the ultimate display of model railroading: a vast network of standard, narrow and mixed gauges - even a trolley line. More than 100 bridges, no two alike, some soaring more than five feet above the floor, others crawling the labyrinthine canyons of the Akinback Mountain range, complete with working cable cars and water wheels. We’ve used John’s own slides to magnify his exquisite detail, from snow capped peak to ocean car ferry and bring life to the thousands of miniature people and working railroad artifacts that surprised and delighted so many - even non-modelers.
