OGR Run 219 Jan '07 Tower City Layout | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

OGR Run 219 featured Bud Pickens' (Hudson Toy Train & Hobby, Cleveland) 8' x 18' Tower City Layout on pages 62 through 67.
Wondering if any of you have info on this layout or how I might contact Mr. Pickens. As the planning for my layout continues - "The Tower City" layout has been a great inspiration for my project as dimensions are identical and the combination of city / rural scenery is well laid out.
Any information is appreciated.

Seems like the Hobby shop is closing.

That Hudson Hub Times story dates from 2006. The store has been closed and gone for several years.

I've seen Bud at York a few times. Perhaps you can contact him through the TCA or try stalking him electronically using The Google.
