I also bought a lot of Atlas O from Bob. He was a great guy. One time I ordered a B&M boxcar from him and it arrived quickly as did all my purchases from him. About a week later another B&M boxcar showed up that I didn’t order. The same exact model. I contacted Bob and told him I didn’t order it but I would pay for it. Bob insisted that I keep it free of charge. What a guy! How many other dealers would do that? I too was sad when he sold the business but he certainly had a right to retire. He was definitely one of the top if not the top Atlas O dealer back in the day.

Thank you for doing this Ben.

I purchased all of my Atlas engines and my Atlas Track from him as well. I remember him calling me and informing me that my two Atlas C628 were in and he was going to take a few days off to care for his wife who was ill. I prayed with him and he thanked me. He called me a few weeks later and informed me that he was closing the store to care for his wife and he had mailed me the engines even though I had not paid for them. I gave him my credit card info and that afternoon the engines were delivered. He was truly one of a kind a warm and kindhearted gentleman.

Early 2000's, I purchased several Atlas units from Bob.  I always thought it interesting, the Wellsboro address.   One of the few large communities, what I would call,  up-state Pennsylvania.  He was able to do a viable internet business, may be even before the internet, as we know it today.  ?? I don't think there was a store front/hobby shop ??   Thanks Bob, it was a great experience     Mike CT.

While Bob was in business I bought all of my Atlas O from him. I loved all the custom runs especially the Pacemaker Box Car variations. He was super nice even after he had gotten sick he was always friendly and accommodating. I've missed doing business with him. One of those guys you don't forget. RIP Bob!

I purchased much of my Atlas O from Bob. he was always such a gentleman. I was about to run my two PRR C628 earlier today before my wife called me for dinner. I will defintely run them in his honor now that I have seen this post. He called and informed me that he was closing his buisness and of his wifes health issues and we prayed. Later in the week I recieved a boxcar from him as a gift. I honor him and I am so saddened to learn of his transition,
