I have been in this hobby for many years, too many to admit. There has always been a few ground breaking developments that have made this scale interesting, new products that have kept my interest and lowered my daily stress! I have never met some of these individuals but their hard work has made my life more enjoyable. I wish to thank the following people and wish you a Merry Christmas, I may not know your name but I still wish to extend my heart felt thanks:
The hard working individuals at OGR and the people that have provided their services to make this Forum and magazine an enjoyment to relax and communicate our hobby
Mike Reagan and Jon at Lionel for their hard work in making picky customers like me happy. Cannot wait to buy that new Big Boy.
Mike Wolf for making really nice scale products that have populated my layout.
Jeb from Megasteam. Thank you for making a cool product makes my steamers look so realistic, smell great, and keeps the wife out of the basement (just kidding) she is warming up to the Hot Chocolate flavor!
Ross switches- I wish I could afford more of these, but talk about trouble free operation with no shorts or dropped connections, my heart thanks you.
Gargraves and Atlas: Thank you for producing great realistic track with trouble free and reliable connections. And Atlas - keep up the amazing work on your scale passenger CZ cars and freight cars
Scenic Express and Woodland Scenics- Keep up with the amazing scenery products- my layout never looked so good. And those new buildings - fantastic!
Weaver - Wow - you have just opened my eyes to some great scale freight cars, love the troop transports- and your TMCC steam engines are real sleepers- very nice
ERR - Ken and the technical group - Thank you for upgrading your technology with new control and sound boards - my older TMCC engines are overdue for upgrades.
My wife for putting up with me hosting the rowdy Detroit Three Railers and countless bandit meets, she is always great with the beverages and the pizza hot line.
