Charlie B Wrote:In the late 70's, while working as Parts Manager for our local Ford dealership, we were assigned a new service rep. I found out that he had a large O scale railroad with operating catenary. He brought his model of a Penn Central transfer caboose to show me on one of his visits. I was very impressed, completely scratchbuilt, and detailed down to the toilet paper in the John. Ralph would have really been google eyed. I never got to see the layout because he had a heart attack and died, but we had many enjoyable lunches when he came to the dealership.

I would have been! I have such admiration for modeling at that level. I'm sorry you never had a chance to see the layout but I'm glad you got to know him and saw some of his work.
