My Son (Nicholas, a.k.a. the Hebanator) Won the Charles Ro Drawing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pictures added!

 How cool is that for a young man!!!

Thank you! This is Nicholas (a.k.a. the Hebanator). I am so happy to have won the drawing. I can't wait to run my new locomotive and I think Charles Ro is the best!!!!!!!

Sweet!  Way to go!

Totally way to COOOOL!!!!!  Will he run it under the Christmas Tree and show everyone who visits?

So let me get this straight, he paid you 15 dollars for tickets and won? Wow, that is awesome! He can now brag that he got a Lionel Legacy GS-4 for 15 dollars.

Congrats and I hope he enjoys it!

Tim,

Actually, he paid and filled out the tickets himself! I believe I told him I didn't want to be "involved" because I thought it was not a "good use of his money"

Needless to say, I will be eating crow for Thanksgiving tomorrow instead of my 32-lb homegrown turkey

very nice Thanksgiving / Christmas present !!  happy holidays   have fun with it !

WOW!!! CONGRATS !!!!! That's awesome

OK.....I have to ask:  What, exactly, is a "Hebanator"?

Did a Hebrew and a Terminator have a baby? 

Congrats regardless.  That's a nice locomotive.

That is sweet! Happy Thanksgiving.

"Hebanator" is just a nickname that I came up with for myself.

Given what your last name is, that makes total sense.

Congrats again on the GS-4.  You'll always have this cool story to share/remember.  Hope you get years of enjoyment out of it.

Please have your son get me a couple lottery tickets.

My GS-4 is scheduled to arrive sometime tomorrow(Friday). I'll post some pictures and a video once I get it on the layout.

Great story.   Good deed from Charlie.

Here are some pictures of one happy kid! The shirt he has on in the pictures is appropriate, but it was coincidence that he wore it. The video I shot must be too large! I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks again to Charles Ro and all of the dealers that work to make this hobby the greatest hobby in the world!

Very nice.  I like the blue gloves, shows a real appreciation for the value of the model and keeping it in the best possible condition.  It is especially great to see this interest and level of care in the younger generation of hobbyists.

I thought I was the only person who used gloves when handling big steamers....most of the time.

Although I simply use a pair of cotton Jersey gloves.

Congrats again!

Congrats! Hope you enjoy for many years. It'S a BEAUTY!

Congratulations! It Just goes in line like the wife who was going to teach her husband the waste of money for lottery tickets that happened last month. She one a million dollars on a scratch off! 

Congratulations to the luckiest guy in the world because in my opinion you won the most beautiful steam locomotive that ever graced the rails.
