Great Find | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

So I am in Beacon, NY. This town has become very popular with the hipsters from the city. A lot of galleries, antique shops and cafés have opened. Access is great via the Hudson Line of Metro-North. I am in a antique store when I see a pair of HO Santa Fe FA's. It is dark in there and I go to pick up one unit and it is attached to a board with the other unit on a piece of track. There is no ID on it, until I turn it around and it says "Daniel J Driscoll The Lionel Corporation New York". My mouth hit the ground. It is a presentation piece, in great condition, brass nameplate and all. I buy it right away. I cant believe I have one of these as they are so rare. But, who is Daniel Driscoll? I googled him with the Lionel name and nothing. Any help? I want to contact Bob Ostendorff(SP?) to ask him, but I need his email
