By Dave Adams:
Jim was a model railroader’s model railroader. The inspiration, help and friendships he extended to others in the hobby is simply too vast to chronicle. His HOn3 Glenwood & Black Creek narrow gauge railroad undoubtedly ranks as one of the two best known narrow gauge model railroads in the world, the other being Harry Brunk’s HOn3 Union Central & Northern.
Jim said he drew inspiration from John Allen’s game changing HO Gorre & Daphetid Railroad, and was privileged to visit John and his railroad on several occasions. John’s influence on Jim is evident to anyone who had the pleasure of visiting Jim’s railroad. If John Allen is known as the Wizard of Monterey, then Jim Vail is certainly the Sorcerer of Santa Cruz.
What follows is an attempt to dimension his contributions to others in the hobby, particularly narrow gauge fans, and to highlight Jim’s interest and journey in model railroad operations.
