Hello Bob,
Thanks for the very kind words.
Just a short history.....Lionel Trains followed me all my life...selling Lionel Trains at a big department store in downtown Saginaw in 1953-1954 and doing repairs for customers. After a tour of duty with The United States Marine Corps, working for Saginaw Steering Gear Div. of GM with people asking me to repair their trains, I started this business in the basement of our home in 1969, I was appointed Lionel Service Station #199 January 3rd. 1974 by Lenny Dean.
After retiring from S.S.G. as a Industrial Electrician in 1988 we decided to go into this business full time, moving our business to the West-side business area and the rest is history.....having great customers like you.
