FYI, the MA&G was recently sold, dismantled and put into storage by its new owner. See the YouTube video “Dismantling of the MA&G”. Fortunately Cliff Powers is building a new RR in a larger location.
To have seen Cliff's work in person was a real treat. Truly a masterful work of art and engineering. …and a nice guy. Thanks Cliff.
