@Fatman posted:Hi Art .. No it isnt Fred LOL! However interestingly enough , in knowing me Dutchboy! has since connected With Fred ( after we found our delightful "Wester Metaalwarenfabriek" Railmotors and he kindly identified them thru Arne on the forum. ) So in a way this collecting is fostering some amazing connections
Now Fred knows Dutchboy! too
Dutchboy! remains anonymous both for his own requested privacy and his workplace requiring a degree of "separation" between man and international "train collecting or any other sort of " fame lol ...
Great story about making the connection.
And too bad about not wanting his hobby to be known... Neil Young, Rod Stewart, Frank Sinatra, Tom Snyder, David Letterman, and Jools Holland all "came out" as train nuts. Maybe someday he'll slip out from the inky shadows.
