Howard Zane and Ken Young

	Howard Zane
Howard is widely known for his HO scale Piermont Division of the Western Maryland. Howard's layout has frequently been published in the model railroad press and presented in video. Howard's passions are designing & scratch building structures and collecting brass trains. Howard considers model railroading an art form and is working on a book that promotes this view.

	Ken Young
	Ken is a top notch modeler with a strong interest in Northwestern logging railroads. Ken's beautifully scenicked logging HO layout unfortunately did not make the transition to his new home. Like many of us, Ken is planning his next layout, and collecting lots of stuff to use on the project!
