John Allen's Gorre & Daphetid

With the creation of the Gorre & Daphetid (Gory and Defeated), John Allen single handedly moved model railroading from a children's pastime to a form of art. These rare films - discovered after a fire tragically destroyed the model masterpiece in 1972 - capture the devotion and sly humor that Allen infused into his miniature universe. Trains in two gauges cross snow-capped mountains and more than 100 soaring bridges. Despite outlaws, train wrecks, trolleys, bustling cities and thousands of miniature people inhabit this world. Get a peek into the mind of its creator to see his innovative techniques now in common use by model railroaders around the globe. From track-side close ups to sweeping vistas, the expert photography of Richard Reynolds and Glenn Beier will inspire train fans and model railroaders alike - indeed anyone with an imagination!
