Hey Tom,

Are you taking requests? Two points

  1. Märklin presence

  2. Slivergate and PIKO

LGB of America did have a big display last year.

I’ll probably forget a camera.

Wear shoes, that will make you uncomfortable and you’ll remember the camera!

That boy is camra shy Later RJD

Hi Tom.

Thanks for the pics.

Who exactly is that friend you met when you were 12?

I am interested because of the bunch of RCS stuff he had on display.

That’s Steven P. Olson. His dad is Aubry. Caboose Hobbies, Freeport IL. Yes, he’s one of your dealers.

Thanks Tom.
