Was the Charles Ro Supply Co. at York | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I know Charles Ro Sr. has passed away. Therefore I was wondering if young Charlie was running the business.

I met them at the 1981 spring show and they gave me some great prices on Lionel freight cars.

Hi Jim,

Charles Ro has not been to the York show for several years now. You should consider opening a train store so that you can come to York . A good location for your train store would be Homer City PA.

Jim, Charley has not been back to York for some years. Not worth the time or expense. Yes, Charles son, Charley, has been running the shop for quite some time. Really good guy. Dad was greatly missed.

"Chuckie" is, I believe, at the 2024 Northeast Large Scale Train Show being held this weekend in Springfield, MA. I saw a photo or two of the Charles Ro display at the event on Facebook earlier today.

Here's a photo posted by my dear friend, Teya Caple-Woods. All Large Scale (USA Trains) of course:

They no longer go to the BIG E due to costs.
