MELGAR, probably not the guy you knew. My father and mother owned a Delicatessen near the RR in Howard Beach up until 1961. Later he owned the Port Jefferson Delicatessen on Main Street, a block from the Harbor. But now that I think about it, he had a large layout of Lionel in the back room of the first Deli too. Back room of a Deli, then the basement of the house, then in my bed room (at least I had moved out by then). Yep...Lionel all the way, and we loved him so much. Today, the trains are up in the extra room of my home, and still running smooth.
