I purchased my first MTH RTR set from Charlie several years ago. I lived in Driftwood, about a half hour drive away, up route 555. It was a PRR passenger set and wow did I get hooked. I could not believe how advanced trains became since my childhood Lionel days. Been buying from him ever since. Last time I was there, an elderly man who had just buried his wife, was so upset he accidently hit the gas instead of the breaks while parking his car and smashed through the store wall into the MTH Premier display case. A few engines were buried that day too. NS, BP, and WNY&PA all come together in Driftwood. The Elk are beautiful and their antlers get gigantic. One got himself tangled in a rope swing I had hanging out of a tree in my backyard for the grandkids. He fought to get loose for 6 hours til the game commission came and cut the ropes to set him free. He carried the swing seat on his head til his antlers fell off in the spring. He was the talk of the county.
