Model Railroader, the premier magazine for model railroaders, features a one-time Bluffton landmark in its July issue.

The featured landmark is the former Bluffton Woodcock power plant. The plant once stood on the site of John's Body Shop on Lake Street. The building was razed in the early 1980s.

In February, Robert Peacock, president of the Akron, Canton and Youngstown Railroad Historical Society, contacted Fred Steiner for any Bluffton photos of the AC&Y. Among the photos sent was an aerial shot of the Woodcock plant.

Peacock informed Steiner that the Woodcock photo grabbed the attention of members of the society. One member created an identification of each of the buildings and features of the power plant. The society forwarded the photo to Model Railroader editors.
