Marty and I went to C. Ro's open house yesterday and were pleased to see the big turnout. Howard Hitchcock, President of Lionel, and Ryan Kunkle, Project Manager, High End Locomotives, were there to talk with and answer questions for the open house attendees. The Maine 3 Railers were well represented, as was the O Gauge Forum, and of course, there were a lot of younger boys and girls anxious to get their first ready-to-run sets or add to their existing collections. There were great deals on Engines, rolling stock, RTR sets, and of course, there were door prizes, and a balloon man and face painting for the kids. Charlie, Chuck, and their crew kept things running smoothly, helping people and answering questions. It was nice to see old friends and meet new ones. There are some great people in this hobby, and we were glad to spend time with them.
