Here's a list of magazine articles with information on the Gorre & Daphetid.
I've also added a few articles on the neighbouring roads Alturas & Lone Pine (Whit Towers),

To learn more about Gorre & Daphetid I recommend the book:'Model Railroading with John Allen' by Linn H Westcott.
It was published by Kalmbach Books but is out of print.
It can still be found elsewhere, ISBN: 0-89024-559-2.
There's also a video featuring Gorre & Daphetid from Sunday River Productions.
The picture material is great and mostly unique but the speaker is dull.
Much of the facts are straight from the above book and sometimes the different layouts are confused.
