My sincere condolences to Lou's family and all of us, loosing a friend to all and somebody who really knew how to promote and enjoy the hobby with all others. I'll miss seeing Lou around in Springfield. I shopped train99 and both locations on McDade. He had great shops, I always hoped he would open one again. A long time ago I bought a mint 637 with a streamlined Pa tender. That engine reminded me of what I had when I was young, I still love it. I'm going to get it out and display it with one of Loco Louie's business cards. The night I bought it I thought...He is a really nice person...and he was ALWAYS a nice person. Reset in peace, God bless Lou.
