Great story and I'm sure that memory will one that stays with him forever.

He'll probably be sharing it with us in a forum post years from now!

 

That was a good story, glad you both enjoyed it. Sounds like a great adventure that you and your son will remember for a long time. Also good to enjoy your kids while you can, they grow up so fast.

Great Story, Good Dad, Super Nice Train Store, A Memory That will Be Remembered For Decades And Then Some. Wow, Right Down Memory Lane. Happy Railroading, and Enjoy The New Locomotive.....

I agree! A fine way to spend the day and to create great memories!

Great father and son moment and story for the rest of us!  So what engine did your son finally decide on?  Did he get the NS diesel he was looking for?

Fabulous story!

Good story.

 

TrainWorld is one fantastic operation. It was founded by the late Peter Bianco who built it up as tiime went on. In fact Peter provided me with much of my Postwar collection.

He always seemed to have what I wanted.

What a nice dad you are, now that's a fun day trip and good time management, probably not one dull moment. What was for dinner some of that great  NY PIZZA

A wonderful day.  Good stuff!!!!

Awesome!

Did you meet Ken Jr?

Nice story Frank.

 

When I was a kid, not far from where you live, my Dad was always up for a trip to the train store or taking the train to a ballgame in Boston. These memories are still very much a part of my love of trains. He would have loved the Acela.

Frank,

 

Thank you so much for sharing that story with us.  I truly a appreciate the kind words.  Next time try to stop by our Long Island store and ask for me! 

 

Ken Jr.

Looks like you had a nice day with your son!
That's what it's all about.

I've been in that store many times, nice people and very friendly.

Great story of father and son.  Way back when there weren't any home computers the way you bought trains was go to a store or send away for lists from collectors.  I bought a number 97 coal elevator from a guy with a list named Peter Bianco.  I was 13 at the time and Pete sold from his basement.  HSince we both lived in Brooklyn he included a note in the box that since we were almost neighbors maybe I should stop by his house to see some trains.  He was a little surprised when he opened the door to see a 13 year old kid and his father.  It was the start of a pretty good friendship that lasted until Pete passed.  Needless to say my father broght me to the first Trainworld.  The memory lasted forever as your boys will last with him

He went with the Williams by Bachman GP-38. It was a tough choice for him, he saw many more diesels he now wants!

Ken, Please pass my thanks onto the staff they were great! Next time we will stop by the Long Island shop!

Was Bobby Baccala from The Sopranos still lying dead on the floor....or did they finally remove the body? 

I think you and your son should make this a annual thing.
