Thanks for sharing this 
Thank you for linking to this video. I was riveted for the whole 14 minutes. A couple of observations.
1. Did anyone notice that all the guys were wearing ties? My, how times have changed.
2. About three minutes into the clip I concluded that Mr. Shattock must have been a bachelor. However, a woman appeared, with children. A monument should be constructed for this lady. Imagine, a woman who would tolerate LIVE STEAM bomblets in the basement at 1/2 inch to the foot. My last layout was in HO in a detached garage, and that was a bone of contention.:hehe:
Wonderful video, Superfudd. Thank you.

Hi Fudd,
No, I missed part two. I'm going to hunt for it now. Thanks for mentioning it. It is funny. I was born and raised in Oakland and may have lived within inches of this guy. How can it be that one would be within such close quarters yet in total ignorance of it.:wave: By any chance is this family related in some way with the family for whom Shattuck Avenue is named? I realize the spelling is different, but sometimes the spelling gets mangled with the passage of time.

I was wondering the same thing. In those days they didn't have R/C control like we have today.

Mr. Shattock is quite a guy
Apparently there is quite a history regarding Mr. Shattock. Quite a guy, and I wonder if he could have foreseen he would be an icon among train nuts like us! And by the way: Always a tie! Polio aside, I'll take the '30s any time.

A Shattock search will yield many rewarding results.
