Even though many builders are inspired by Bob Brown because he is one of the finest model railroad builders today, over the years he has looked up to others too.
Many early modelers have influenced Bob’s work such as Cliff Brandt, John Allen, Lee Claus at Bell Lee Car Works, and Hugh Butell. Hugh Butell was a very early pioneer, and it took Bob Brown a 13 year search to obtain Butell’s last models. Bob views Hugh Butell’s work as folk art and considers Butell as his biggest influence.
