Yes..... and I did not know it until he got very ill. Steve Bales was my neighbor and he was a former Lionel employee who worked for Lionel in the early 50s. Steve was a lifetime railroad man working for the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads. In my opinion he was with out a doubt one of the best model railroad hobbyist ever. The talent of this man was mind blowing. If you want to hear more go to Notch 6 and listen to the podcast titled the "The Lionel Employee in the Neighborhood"
